CARBOHYDRATESCARBOHYDRATES
Monomer= monosaccharide (simple sugar)
Made of C, H, and O and easily recognized by ring structure but no N like in DNA!!
CARBOHYDRATESCARBOHYDRATES MACROMOLECULESMACROMOLECULES
2 monosaccharides = disaccharide
3 or more monosaccharides = polysaccharide such as starch or cellulose
Disaccharide
3. Carbohydrates3. Carbohydrates
Function: broken down to provide quick energy for cells
Example: sugars and starches (pastas, breads, candy etc)
4. Lipids4. Lipids
Monomer: Fatty Acids
Functions Store Energy Make up cell membranes Used to make hormones
4. Lipids 4. Lipids
Made up of C, H, O
Long and non polar
Hydrophobic: does not dissolve in water
Examples: fats, oils, phospholipids, steroids, waxes, and pigments found in mayonnaise, ice cream, hot
cheetos etc
