reproduce. Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones which are major sources of energy. Monosachharides
are
simple sugars which cannot be hydrolysed. Oligosachharide, on hydrolysis give 2 to 10 molecules of monosachharides.
Polysachharides like starch and cellulose on hydrolysis give large number of molecules of glucose a-glucose and b-glucose
(Anomers). Proteins are complex nitrogeneous polymers of amino acids connected through peptide bonds. The sequence in
which amino acids are linked is called Primary structure. Secondary structures are of 2 types a-helix in globular proteins
and
b-pleated structure in fibrous proteins involving H-bonds. Tertiary structure has H-bonds, disulphide linkage, ionic
bonding
and van der Waals’ forces. Insulin is hormone for metabolism of glucose, has quarternary structure. Denaturation of
protein
destroys secondary and tertiary structure, loss of biological activity but primary structure remaining the same.
Enzymes are highly specific, work at specific pH, moderate temperature and catalyse biochemical reactions. Hormones
perform specific functions and secreated by endocrine glands. Vitamins are essential for healthy body. A, D, E, K are fat
soluble vitamins. Vitamin C and B1, B2, B6 are water soluble. B12 is neither water, nor fat soluble. Nucleic acids are
polymer of nucleotides. RNA consist of m-RNA, t-RNA, r-RNA. RNA has Adenine, Cytosine, Uracil and Guanine. It helps
