Macromolecules - Proteins,Macromolecules - Lipids & Carbohydrates Questions and Answers Graded A+ Elements found in proteins Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen Functions of proteins Tissue repair, immune system protection (antibodies), basic structure of enzymes amino acids monomors (single units) that make up proteins Nitrogen element found in proteins and not in lipids or carbohydrates. protein sources meats, eggs, beans, fish elements common to carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon lipids macromolecules made up of mostly carbon and hydrogen atoms. Very few oxygen molecules energy One of the functions of lipids is to store ________________. messengers some lipids serve as chemical ___________________. (like hormones) cell membrane Lipids make up this part of a cell. saturated fats that are solid at room temperature are said to be _______________. unsaturated fats that are liquid at room temperature are said to be ______________. saturated an example of this type of fat would be butter or crisco unsaturated an example of this type of fat would be olive oil phospholipids these lipids are found in cell membranes waxes these are the lipids that form protective barriers for plants and animals steroids these are the types of lipids that serve as chemical messengers and can function as hormones. carbohydrate Carbon molecules combined with water. monomer One of many small molecules that combine to form a larger one known as a polymer. polymer Large molecule made up of repeating smaller molecules (monomers). monosaccharide The monomer unit of carbohydrates. disaccharide A pair of monosaccharides. polysaccharide Formed from many monosaccharides. starch A polysaccharide found in plants; its main role is energy storage. glycogen A polysaccharide found in animals and bacteria; main role is energy storage. cellulose A polysaccharide; major component of plant cell walls. Monomer a single unit of an organic molecule. Polymer a string of multiple attached monomers. Macromolecule a large, complex molecule made up of many strings of polymers. Carbohydrate a "sugar" macromolecule that provides the body with quick, short-term energy. It is made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. (C- H - O) Monosaccharide the monomer of a carbohydrate. (Ex: glucose) 6 Elements found in living things (SPONCH) Sulfur, Phosphorus, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, Hydrogen 4 Macromolecules Carbohydrate, Lipid, Protein, Nucleic Acid
