What functions do they perform?
Provide energy
How does your body get them/make them? What
food groups are they in?
Our bodies cannot make carbohydrates.
We rely on autotrophs to make them.
Foods – sugar, starches, pasta, bread,
rice, and fruits.
Provide energy
Make structures
control chemical reactions
important part of cell membranes for
transport
support growth and repair of living matter
Our bodies make lipids for cell
membranes and to store energy for later
use.
Foods – oils, fats, and butter.
Our proteins are made in our cells by the
ribosomes using amino acids that are
broken down from the proteins we eat.
Foods – meat, fish, beans, and nuts.
hold instructions for maintenance,
growth, and reproduction
Our cells make copies of our DNA
during mitosis.
Foods – all foods because all foods are
made of cells.
All of the chemical reaction in the cell
take place in water.
Some water is made during cellular
respiration, but most of the water we
need comes from food and drinks..
Foods – water, juices, fresh fruits & veggies.
Compare and contrast carbohydrates and lipids.
Includes sugars and
starches.

Compare and contrast proteins and nucleic acids.
there are at least
100,000 different
proteins in our
bodies
contains sulfur
The
order of amino
acids that form a
protein are determined
by the order of nucleic
acids in the DNA/RNA.
Contains Carbon,
Hydrogen, Oxygen,
Nitrogen.
there are only 5
different nucleotides
(C, G, A, T, and U)
contains phosphorus
