physci
the building blocks of more
complex molecules.
monomer
A large molecule made of repeating sub-units or chains of monomers.
polymer
collectively called as saccharides. They are classified as monosaccharide, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. It is the quick source of energy for
many living organisms.
carbohydrates
monomer of carbohydrates
monosaccharide
single sugar
monosaccharide
two sugars molecules linked
disaccharide
many sugar molecules linked
polysaccharide
it is primarily used in the body to build, maintain, and repair body tissues.
proteins
monomer of proteins
amino acid
example of protein
collagen
example of carbohydrates
starch
They provide insulation to the body. They are an efficient way to store energy for longer periods.
Lipids
2 types of lipids:
saturated and unsaturated fats
monomer of lipids
fatty acids and glycerol
example of lipids
butter
It refer to the genetic material found in
the cell that carries all the hereditary information from
parents.
nucleic acid
main function of nucleic acid
transfer genetic information
2 types of nucleic acid:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
RNA (ribonucleic acid)
Double stranded, nitrogenous base pairs: Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine and Thymine.
DNA
Single stranded, nitrogenous base pairs: Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine and Uracil.
RNA
difference of rna and dna
uracil/thymine
monomer of nucleic acid
nucleotide
