LECTURE 11.2 – BIOCHEMISTRY What is the structure of biological molecules? I. Amino Acids • Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. • Amino acids are connected together to create proteins • Amino Acid = monomer • Protein = polymer II. Nucleotides • DNA is made of repeating units of nucleotides. • Because of carbon’s bonding structure, this allows for many nucleotides to be linked together. • Nucleotides = Monomer • Nucleic Acids/DNA = Polyer III. Starch • Starch is a common carbohydrate that is made up of smaller repeating carbon rings • Starch is made of repeating glucose rings Starch = Polymer Glucose = Monomer
