Presentation Transcript

  1. MACROMOLECULES OR BIOMOLECULES

  2. 4 Groups of Biomolecules: • Carbohydrates • Proteins • Lipids • Nucleic Acids

  3. Carbohydrates • Used for QUICK energy ex. glucose, starch. • Sugar + sugar + sugar = starch

  4. Proteins • Made up of amino acids • Used for building and repair, transport as part of the cell membrane, and enzymes.

  5. Enzymes are Proteins that are catalysts – they speed up the rate of chemical reactions. ● They end in -ase ex.amylase, transcriptase, etc. Substrate ↓

  6. Lipids • Used for STORING ENERGY • Examples: fats, oils, waxes • Part of cell membrane (phospholipid bilayer with polar heads and non-polar tails)

  7. DNA • RNA

  8. Nucleic Acids • DNA contains the genetic code – It is a double helix • Deoxyribose is the sugar Made up of nucleotides: 1. Sugar 2. Phosphate 3. Nitrogen Base

  9. Nucleic Acids • RNA guides protein synthesis –it is a single strand - ribose is the sugar Made up of nucleotides: 1. Sugar 2. Phosphate 3. Nitrogen Base

  10. What are the 4 Biomolecules? • 1. ___________________________ • 2. ___________________________ • 3. ___________________________ • 4. ___________________________

  11. What Biomolecule are enzymes a part of? • _____________________________ What do enzymes do? ____________________

  12. Which Biomolecule stores energy? • ___________________________________ Which Biomolecule is used for Quick Energy? ______________________________________
