what small subunits?
Proteins are made of
AMINO ACIDS.
Nucleic acids are made
of NUCLEOTIDES.
Proteins are also called
POLYPEPTIDES.
Complex carbohydrates
are made of simple
SUGARS.
(monosaccharides)

FATS.
Lipids are made of
GLYCEROL and
FATTY ACIDS
Carbohydrates and
sugars are also called

Biomolecules:
What are the two main
examples of nucleic
acids?
Why do we say that all
of the biomolecules are
organic compounds?
Lipids are the primary
component of every
MEMBRANE.
Nucleic acids store the
cell’s INFORMATION.
Enzymes are a
type of protein.
Complex carbs are a
part of CELL WALLS.
The 20 amino acids can
be made into a great
variety of sequences
and structures.
Lipids and carbohydrates
are commonly used for
energy storage.
They are all organic
because they are all
based on the element
CARBON.
DNA and RNA are
both nuclei acids.
