Protein Lipids Carbohydrates Nucleic acids Amino Acids Glycerol + fatty acids Except steroids C,H,O Monosaccharides Nucleotides C, H, O C,H,O,N,P Functions Speed up Short term energy, cell wall in plants, Cellular information, energy molecule Examples Insulin, Glucose, starch, ATP, DNA, glycogen, RNA, cAMP cellulose, monosaccharides, disaccharides Subunits Elements C,H,O,N,S Energy reactions, storage, structure, fibers, pigments, muscle plasma contraction membrane Cholesterol, hemoglobin, Chlorophyll myosin/actin, Phospholipids enzymes/Salivary Fats,oils, amylase/pepsin waxes, collagen DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS/ CONDENSATION Makes macromolecules by adding ATP and releasing water HYDROLYSIS (DIGESTION) Breaks down macromolecules by adding water Special bond names: Phosphodiester holds nucleotides together to form nucleic acids Peptide bond holds amino acids together to form amino acids Glycosidic linkage holds sugars together to form polysaccharides Ester linkage holds glycerol to fatty acids in the triglycerides.
