formula: C6H12O6

proteins basic chemical formula

proteins monomer

are organic molecules produced by living organisms that consist mainly of C, H, O, and N.

It acts as hormones like testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen.

monosaccharides examples

iodine test(black), Benedict's solution(orange)

These lipids are primarily involved in the formation of a cell membrane, which is a bilipid layer.

4 major categories of lipids

macromolecules

types of lipids

lipids monomer

They also carry with them substances that impart sensory appeal and palatability to food and provide satiety value, the feeling of being full and satisfied after eating a meal.

This shows the number of nutrients an average person is required from eating one serving of food.

are primarily involved in the.formation of the cell membranes, which is ____.

small molecules

The building blocks of every organism and the most important biomolecules.

is for animals

carbohydrates basic chemical formula

store and transmit genetic info

back up energy source, in membrane

These are carbohydrates that contain ten monosaccharide units or more.

The simplest carbs.

Lipids in the diet transport the four fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, and K) and assist in their absorption in the small intestine.

Some athletes and body builders use ___ to build their muscles.

ten or more sugar molecules

the term used to describe a weakly acidic substance that he found in the cell

one sugar molecule

polysaccharides example

is composed of central carbon (C) bonded to hydrogen (H), a carboxyl group (-COOH), an amino group (-NH2), and a side chain or R group.

it is made of a glycerol backbone with 3 fatty acid chains attached to it

Biomolecules are categorized into four different classes.

is the most abundant and most common disaccharide.

Protein plays a wide variety of functional roles:

nucleic acids monomer

is a steroid and is one of the most plentiful lipids in our bodies. It is produced by the liver to meet our body's needs.

leaves oily spot on brown paper bag

types of fatty acids

transport, speed up reactions, immunity, cell communication

They serve as the blueprint of life.

These are triesters of fatty acids with glycerol (1,2,3 - trihydroxypropane). Composed mainly of hydrogen and carbon, these lipids are found in both plants and animals. Solid triglycerides are classified as fats while liquid triglycerides are classified as oils. Just for you to visualize, butter, which is animal fat, is in a solid state while vegetable oil is in liquid state.

biuret solution (violet)

are the building blocks of lipids

no fatty acids

there are __ different amino acids that can provide possible sequences of proteins in our body

DNA stains (methylene blue)

biomolecules type of bonding

ready source of energy

These are the building blocks of protein

three fatty acids are bound to glycerol by

They are complex biomolecules that contain amino acids linked through the peptide bonds.

The most abundant class of biomolecules.

fats & oils

are a class of lipids whose molecule has a HYDROPHILIC "head" containing a phosphate group and two HYDROPHOBIC "tails" derived from fatty acids, joined by an alcohol residue (usually a glycerol molecule).

They are formed when fats and oils are heated with an aqueous solution of bases (_______)

The word carbohydrate comes from the French term, which means

there is at least 1 double bond and fewer hydrogens

A measure of the increase in the level of blood glucose (a type of sugar) caused by eating a specific carbohydrate (food that contains sugar) compared with eating a standard amount of glucose. Foods with a high glycemic index release glucose quickly and cause a rapid rise in blood glucose.

nucleic acids basic chemical formula

carbohydrates monomer

large molecules

Nucleic acids are responsible for _____, _____, and ____ genetic information.

carbohydrates is also called

the primary lipid in cell membranes

a major energy source

These contain two monosaccharide units bonded together by a covalent bond known as glycosidic linkage.

two sugar molecules

the most abundant lipid in our diet and storage form of fat in our bodies

Nucleic acids were first isolated from the nuclei of white blood cells by ______ in the ___s.

two to ten sugar molecules

Molecular Formula: C12H22O11

They are considered hydrophobic, which means insoluble in water.

the structure has the maximum number of hydrogens

is a type of lipid used for long term energy storage in the body.

These are the only sugars that can be absorbed and utilized by the body.

The origin of name nucleic acid came from "____"

is for plants

saccharide from the greek ___, meaning

oligosaccharides examples

Starch, glycogen, and cellulose are common polysaccharides.

disaccharides examples

lipids basic chemical formula

Glucose, fructose, and galactose are common examples of simple sugars and bearing the same molecular.

a triglyceride can be

cholesterol is the primary dietary ___

This is the measure of how much energy a food provides.
