The Biomolecules of Life
(main topic)
FOUR BIOMOLECULES OF LIFE (sub
topic)
Biomolecules
● Chemical compound found in living
organisms
● Building blocks of life and perform
important functions in living organisms
Organic Compounds
● Chemical
compounds
primarily
composed of hydrocarbons
● Grouped acc. to the functional group
present in the chemical structure
● Present in the different biomolecules of
life
●
●
Presence of a double
bond of oxygen and a
single bond of hydroxyl
at one carbon
C — OOH
Extra notes/comments
CARBOHYDRATES (term)
●
Family of sugars (saccharides)
MONOSACCHRIDES (term)
● Sample text

●
Alkenes
●
●
Alkynes
●
Chain of carbons
connected by a single
bond
C—C
Chain of carbons with
at least 1 double bond
C=C
●
Chain of carbons with
at least 1 triple bond
C≡C
Alcohols
●
●
Presence of OH
C — OH
Aldehyde
●
Presence of a double
bond of oxygen at the
end of the structure
C=O
●
Ketone
●
●
Amine
Presence of a double
bond of oxygen at the
middle of the structure
C=O
●
Presence of Nitrogen in
the structure
●
C—N
●

o Ketose – contains a ketone group
to a protein or a lipid
PROTEINS’ LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION
Primary
Protein
Composed of the sequence of
amino acids (polypeptide)
Secondary
Protein
Folding of the polypeptide
due to the interaction of the
carbon backbones (classified
as the α-helix or β-pleated
sheet)
Tertiary
Protein
Further interaction of the R
groups of the amino acids
Quaternary
Protein
Interactions of two or more
tertiary proteins; may contain
prosthetic groups
