Inside each tab write the
following…
Carbohydrates
• monomer- monosaccharide (glucose)
mono- 1 saccharide-sugar
• Function- gives cell energy
• Elements: C,H,O
• ex. Sugar, fructose, Polysaccharide, bread,
pasta, starch
• The suffix “-ose” means sugar
Lipids
• Monomer- fatty acid & glycerol
• Function-insulation /storage of energy,
make cell membrane
• Elements: C,H,O
• Ex. Fat, butter, oil
Protein
• Monomer-Amino acid
• Function - storage, structure, transport
• Elements- C,H,O,N
• Ex. of a Protein- Enzymes, meat,
chicken, fish, eggs, beans
• The suffix “-ase” is for enzymes
Nucleic Acid
• Function - holds our genes/traits
• Monomer-nucleotide
• Elements- C,H,O,N,P
