    polysaccharides

  • monomer of lipids

    fatty acids

  • polymer of lipids

    triglycerides

  • monomer of proteins

    amino acids

  • polymer of proteins

    polypeptides

  • monomer of nucleic acids

    nucleotides

  • polymer of nucleic acids

    nucleic acids (DNA and RNA)

  • major function of carbs

    short-term energy storage

  • major function of lipids

    long-term energy storage

  • major functions of proteins

    1. Enzymes

    2. Hormones

    3. Bones and muscles (eg collagen)

    4. Transport substances (eg hemoglobins)

    5. Antibodies

    6. Movement (eg contractile proteins)

  • major function of nucleic acids

    informational molecules (genetic info, instructions for making proteins)

  • example of a carbohydrate

    sugars

  • example of a lipid

    steroids

  • example of a protein

    meats

  • example of a nucleic acid

    9 cal/gram

  • relative energy storage of proteins

    4 cal/gram

  • relative energy storage of nucleic acids

    0 cal/gram

  • order of body's consumption of macromolecules

    1. carbs: go-to energy source

    2. lipids: after carbs run out

    3. proteins: last resort, unhealthy to use for energy

  • how do phospholipids' structure give the membrane a unique property

    how do phospholipids' structure give the membrane a unique property

    the membranes are selectively permeable; the water loving head stays on the outside, and the water hating tails stay inside and away from water.

  • what makes proteins the most diverse macromolecule?

    structure and function

  • which macromolecule is not obtained from our food and where do we get it from?

    nucleic acids, we get them from our parents.

  • macromolecules

    large organic molecules that make up living things

  • monomer

    polymer

  • monosaccharide

    sincle sugar molecules

  • polysaccharide

    larger sugar molecules
