BIOMOLECULES

PROTEINS
LIPIDS
 SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
•To understand roles and function of proteins and lipids.
•To identify chemical nature of biomolecules.

• To identify diseases caused due to lack of certain constituents.

• Recapitulation
• What are carbohydrates?
• What are the different types of sugars?
• List different foods rich source of carbohydrates?
• Why are dietary fibres essential for our body?
 FATS
• Fats also contain C, H and O, but relatively less
O. Fats occur in both plant and animal foods.
• Fats – solid at room temperatures.
• Oils - liquid at room temperatures.
• Fats also give us energy. They also provide
insulation in humans and other mammals, and are
energy stores.
 CHEMICAL NATURE OF LIPIDS

• The chemicals are the building blocks of lipids of 2

molecules called glycerol and fatty acids.
• Health benefits and harmful effects of lipids
• Lipids are essential part of our diet , too much lipid
is unhealthy, especially a type called saturated fat ,
and lipid compound called cholesterol.
 PROTEINS

• Proteins contain C, H and O, and also

some nitrogen (N) and a little sulphur
(S).
• Proteins are found in milk, eggs, meat
and fish.
• Plants have less protein especially
beans, peas and nuts are rich in
proteins than others.
