Biomolecule Information Summary Chart Biomolecule Subunits (Monomers) Carbohydrates Monosaccharides (“one sugar”) Ex. glucose Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O) Monosaccharides: glucose, fructose. Disaccharides: sucrose, lactose. Polysaccharides: starch, cellulose Amino Acids Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), Sulfur (S) Collagen, keratin, enzymes, hemoglobin, serum albumin, somatotropin (hormone), antibodies No subunits (lipids are not polymers). They are made of the combination of glycerol and fatty acids. Nucleotides (4 different types due to 4 different bases: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine) Uracil instead of Thymine in RNA Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), Phosphorous (P) Proteins Lipids Nucleic Acids Elements Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), Phosphorous (P), Nitrogen (N) Types of Functions Energy, structure, cell wall structure Holds tissue together, strength for hair/skin/nails/ feathers/horns, aids chemical reactions, carries oxygen and lipids, growth, defense Fats (saturated and Energy storage, cell unsaturated), membrane steroids (like structure, insulation cholesterol), phospholipids DNA and RNA Found in what foods?
