Picture
Short term energy
Structure in plant cell
walls
C, H, O (always in a
1:2:1 ratio)
Name: monosaccharides
Name:
polysaccharides
Draw starch and glucose
Examples:
Glucose, fructose
1) Carbohydrate
Long term energy
Insulation
C, H, O (mostly C and
H)
Fatty acids (chains of C
and H)
Glycerol (C,H, and O)
2) Lipid
Store and transmit
genetic information
C,H,O, N, and P
3) Nucleic Acid
4) Protein
Structure (ex: keratin in
hair and nails)
Defense (ex: antibodies
in the immune system)
Speeding up Reactions
(enzymes)
Movement (ex: muscle
proteins)
Transport (ex:
hemoglobin transporting
oxygen in red blood
cells)
C,H,O,N, and
sometimes S (S is only
found in some R groups
of amino acids)
Examples:
Starch (energy storage –
plants), Cellulose (cell
wall – plants), glycogen
(energy storage –
animals)
Examples:
Fats (triglycerides)
Oils
Waxes
Phospholipids
Nucleotide (made of a
nitrogenous base, 5carbon sugar, and
phosphate group)
Examples:
DNA and RNA
Amino acid (made of a
central carbon atom
bonded to a hydrogen
atom, an amino
group(NH2), a carboxyl
group (COOH), and an
R group (changes for
every amino acid))
Polypeptide (a single
chain of amino acids)
Draw a triglyceride (fat
molecule)
Label the glycerol and 3
fatty acid chains
Draw a nucleotide
Label the nitrogenous
base,
5-carbon sugar, and
phosphate group
A full protein usually
consists of multiple
polypeptides folded
around each other
Draw an amino acid
Label the central carbon,
hydrogen atom, R group,
amino group, and
carboxyl group
