What is a MACROMOLECULE?
In anutshell:
Macromolecule = BIG bunch of atoms
stuck together :)4

Types of Macromolecules
-
Inorganic
Inorganic
• Made of 1 or less carbon atoms
• Not considered “living”
(does not possess characteristics of life)
• Examples: CO2 (carbon dioxide)

2 Types of Macromolecules• Molecules made of at least 2 carbon atoms
• Comes from living things
• Made of monomers or polymers
Monomers = smaller subunits of a molecule chain
Polymers = lots of small subunits linked together
Organic

• Lipids = longterm energy storage in cells, forms
membranes, and serves as hormones and insulation.
• Lipids do NOT dissolve in water.
• Types of lipids = fats, oils, phospholipids, cholesterol
• Nucleic acids contains the genetic information of the
cell/organism
monomer = nucleotidepolymer = DNA or RNA
• Carbohydrates = quick energy & shortterm energy storage.
• Play a structural role in plants, bacteria, and insects.
monomer = monosaccharide (EXAMPLE: GLUCOSE)
polymer = polysaccharide(EXAMPLE: CELLULOSE)
Proteins perform many functions:• Structural proteins
(muscle, hair, feathers, spider webs, etc)• Enzymes
• Antibodies• Transport carriers
monomer = amino acid(EXAMPLE: LYSINE)
polymer = polypeptide(EXAMPLE: ACTIN or COLLAGEN) Back

ACTIVE SITE
SUBSTRATE
ENZYME
Does this by lowering the amount of energy the
reaction needs in order to occur.
Speeds up chemical reactions without being used
itself.Without enzymes, reactions would occur to slowly for life
to sustain itself.
A specialized protein that acts as a catalyst.
Why is itIMPORTANT?
What is anENZYME?
How doesit WORK?
Click KEY for video
Think of it as a "lock & key"
Enzymes have an active site for the
substrate to bind to in order for the reaction to
carry out
Enzymes are specific in that one enzyme molecule catalyzes only one
type of chemical reaction
