four major macromolecules
-carbohydrates
-lipids
-proteins
-nucleic acids
Carbohydrates
Elements involved
-carbon
-hydrogen
-oxygen
Their function is that they are the primary source of energy
sucrose
Lipids
ELements involved
-carbon
-hydrogen
-oxygen
Fatty Acids and Glycerol are the types of monomers
Examples are
-Fats
-Oils
-Waxes
The function is storing energy
Proteins
Elements Involved
-Carbon
-Hydrogen
-Oxygen
-Nitrogen
Some examples
-Gelatin
-Hemoglobin
Functions of proteins are the metabolism, DNA replicating, and responding to stimuli.
Nucleic Acids
Elements involved
-Carbon
-Hydrogen
-Oxygen
-Phosphorus
-Nitrogen
Nucleic Acid Monomers
-Adenine
-Cytosine
-Guanine
-Thymine
The functions are storing and expressing genetic info.
Dehydration Synthesis & Hydrolysis
The Difference between monomers and polymers is that a monomer is a single molecule and polymers are multiple molecules together.
Dehydration Synthesis- when monomers combine to create polymers
Hydrolysis- the chemical reaction that breaks apart polymers to create monomers
