BIOMOLECULE CHART—“What are we made of? All living things are made (composed) of four main biomolecules. They are often referred to as organic compounds or organic macromolecules or even biopolymers. The four organic compounds that make up living things are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. 1. What does “bio” mean?_____________________________ 2. A molecule is the smallest unit of a compound with the characteristics of that compound 3. What is a monomer? ______________________________________________ 4. What is a polymer? ________________________________________________ 5. A macromolecule is an organic molecules made of a large number of atoms Complete the following tables while viewing the powerpoint: I. Carbohydrates Elements found in it Function Basic building blocks One Sugar Two Sugars joined together 3 or more sugars Joined together monosaccharide disaccharide polysaccharide Examples: Examples: Examples: (in plants)-(in liver)-(cell wall)-- Foods: Foods: Foods: II. Lipids (Fats) Elements found in it 4 main types and brief characteristics Carbon Hydrogen A little oxygen Triglycerides Basic building blocks Functions (include cell membrane) Phospholipids Steroids: no fatty acids—cholesterol and hormones Waxes: fatty acid and an alcohol group Saturated- from: Unsaturated—from : Give 3 examples of foods containing lipids III. Elements found in it Proteins Functions Basic building blocks 1. Name of bond that holds amino acids together 2. 2 peptides is called a: Greater than 2, but less than 10 amino acids (there is no folding) is called: Many amino acids with lots of folding is called : Give 3 examples of foods containing protein 3. 4. There are _______different kinds of amino acids in living things. An enzyme is a type of ___________________ . What is its function? IV.
