The Role of Biomolecules in Life Processes Carbs Lipids Proteins • Always a CHO ratio of 1:2:1 • Hydrophylic and digested easily Functions • Various hydro-carbon combinations • Hydrophobic and not digested easily Functions • Various NCHO combinations • Hydrophylic or Hydrophobic Functions • Used as primary energy source • Rearranged to make other biomolecules. • Stored in body for long term energy. • Used to make boundary material (membrane) around each cell. • Rearranged and used as chemical signalers (hormones) to cells and parts of body. • Used to make new proteins in body that – Repair and generate new cells – Are enzymes to control chemical reactions – Are chemical messengers between cells – Defend body from harmful microorganisms
