Carbohydrates

• Subunit = simple sugars

• Main function = short term energy storage

• Three Types– Monosaccharides

– Disaccharides

– Polysaccharides

Page 3: Biological Molecules Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Nucleic Acids

Monosaccharides

• Single Sugars (simple sugar)

• Three Types

– Glucose

– Fructose

– Galactose

C6H12O6

Page 4: Biological Molecules Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Nucleic Acids

Disaccharides• Two Sugars

• Three Types– Sucrose = glucose + fructose

– Maltose = glucose + glucose

– Lactose = glucose + galactose

Page 5: Biological Molecules Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Nucleic Acids

Polysaccharides•Many sugars – many molecules of glucose linked together

Page 6: Biological Molecules Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Nucleic Acids

Polysaccharides

• Three types:1. Cellulose – found in plant cells

Not digestible by humans

2. Starch – found in fruit, seeds, and tubers of plants Examples: Potatoes, corn, rice and

wheat Digestible by humans

3. Glycogen – found in animal muscle cells Digestible by humans

Proteins

• Many Functions• Repair

• Growth & development

• Fingernails & hair

Enzymes

•Subunit = Amino Acids

Page 8: Biological Molecules Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Nucleic Acids

Lipids (fats)•Subunits = glycerol and fatty acids

1) Triglycerides = glycerol + 3 fatty acidsMost common type of lipidLong term energy storage

Page 9: Biological Molecules Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Nucleic Acids

Nucleic Acids

• Subunit = Nucleotides

• Function = carry genetic information

• Examples = DNA & RNA

Nucleotide
