CARBOHYDRATES
The most abundant organic molecule
Soluble in water making it easier to
be absorbed
Broken down to the preferred
energy source of the body
Excess carbohydrates will be stored
in the body as fat.

food source of carbs

Rice Sweet
Bread potato
Sugar Oats
Wheat Milk
 Makes for good energy storage
Provides cushioning LIPIDS
Fats, oils, waxes, and steroids
"Saturated" fats" - solid at room
temp.
"Unsaturated fats" - liquid at room
temp.
Fats are slower to be digested thus
contributing to satiety

- Lipids are hydrophobic due to Healthy sources of

hydrocarbon chains that form Lipids
nonpolar covalent bonds
- Phospholipids make up the cell Avocados Fish (salmon,
membrane Nuts mackerel
- Lipids are good sources of energy Healthy Meat (limited
due to their carbon-hydrogen bonds cooking oils quantity)
which are considered energy-rich Dairy
Proteins
can be found in other body parts or
tissue & made up of 20 amino acids.
maintaining the healthiness of the
muscles, bones, and tissues
can be found in animal and plant
foods
food source of proteins
meat protein shakes
seafood beans
eggs milk
Nucleic Acid
Snack Food Are the Cell's Genetic
Material.
Are Nucleotide Polymers
Phosphodiester bonds
hold it together.

It is comprised of three
components that are
joined together by bonds.
Chicken Mushroom
Red meat Yeast The fundamental
Seafood Grains building block of both
Nuts DNA and RNA
 Reminder
To take everything in
moderation. Too much
or too little of
everything can also
bring negative effects
to our bodies!

Ok Yes
