Biurets Test
Last source of energy
Which organic molecule?
• Insulin – important hormone,
composed of 51 amino acids
• Made in the pancreas; released
when stimulated
• Causes cells in liver, muscle, & fat
to take up glucose from blood; store
it as glycogen in the liver and
muscle
Which organic molecule?

Many fatty acids hooked
together in a chain
Test to Identify:
Brown Paper Test
Lipids are . . .

by water molecules)
• energy storage (long term)
• insulation
• protective coverings
• major components of membranes that
surround all living cells
Triglyceride
3 FATTY ACIDS AND A GLYCEROL
Nucleic Acids = genetic
information
Monomer:
Nucleotides
Function: DNA and RNA
- our genetic code
- instructions for making
proteins
Structure:
Many nucleotides
hooked together in
long chains
