SCIENCE:
Lipids (Fats)
4 Types of Biomolecules
1. Carbohydrates (Sugar)
● Most common organic molecule
Function: Primary energy source our body
needs
● Elements present: C, H, O (1:2:1
ratio) Monomer (building block):
Monosaccharides (Glucose is most
common)
● Polymer: Polysaccharides (starch,
Glycogen, Cellulose, Chitin)
Examples: Chocolate, Bread, Pasta, Fruits,
Vegetables (ALL FROM PLANTS!!!)
Sugars that make up Carbs
● Single sugar: monosaccharide Ex:
glucose , fructose (in fruits)
● 2 monosaccharides: disaccharide
Ex: maltose, sucrose
● 3+ monosaccharides:
polysaccharide Ex: Starch,
Glycogen, Cellulose, and Chitin
Types of polysaccharides
● Starch: Used for energy storage in
plants. Potatoes, pasta and rice are
starches. They provide a quick form
of energy for the body
● Glycogen: Used for energy storage
in animals
More Polysaccharides;
● Cellulose - Provides structural
support in plants (found in the cell
wall)
● Chitin - Found in exoskeletons of
arthropods (insects, spiders) Found
in cell wall of some fungi
Structure of Carbohydrates;
- Remember: Elements are C, H, and
O of proteins: hemoglobin in red blood
- Primarily in a Ring shape (but not
always)
2.
● Function: Store energy, Insulates
your body, and make up the cell
membrane!
● Elements: C-H-O
● Monomer (Building blocks): glycerol
& 3 fatty acids
● Polymer: Phospholipids,
triglycerides
Example: Steroids, cholesterol, fats, Oils,
Nuts, Waxes, and make up part of the cell
membrane!
❖ Lipids are Hydrophobic (water
fearing) and do not dissolve in water!
Lipids can be:
● Saturated: The bonds between all
the carbons are single bonds.
- Solid at room temperature
- Mainly animal fats (bacon grease,
lard)
● Unsaturated: There is at least one
double or triple bond between
carbons present.
- Liquid at room temperature
- Mainly plant based fats (olive oil,
peanut oil) as well as oily fish (Tuna,
Sardines)
3. Proteins
● Function of proteins
- Transport molecules in and out of
the cell
- Control the speed of chemical
reactions
- Used for growth and repair
Proteins make up the structure of living
things… Hair, nails, skin, bones, muscle, etc
are all built by protein!
● Elements: C-H-O-N
● Monomer (Building Block): amino
acids (20 different ones!)
● Polymer: proteins (tons) Examples
cells, albumin in eggs, enzymes that
 control reactions in the body, and CONFLICTS
antibodies ● -Man Vs Man - Amrita vs Maharaja
● Found in: fish, eggs, meat ● Man Vs The Society - Amrita vs The
● Protein Structure Tree-Cutters
- Remember: Elements are C, H, O, THEME
and N ● Women Empowerment
- “R” groups represent one of the 20 ● Eco-feminism
Amino Acids! (so, each amino acid
has something different in that spot) MAPEH:
