proteins
|
C, H, O, N
held by peptide bonds polymers = polypeptide, monomer = amino scids functions-enzymes control rate of reaction, structural support/movement form bones and muscles, transport and communication/moves small molecules in/out of cells, fight diseases |
|
Carbohydrates
|
C, H, O (1:2:1),
primary source of energy, energy storage, structure/support, essential for function of nervous, digestive, circulatory, and immune systems monomer= glucose |
|
Lipids
|
not true polymers because they are small and the monomers don't repeat
more C and H than O fat has 1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids |
|
Nucleic Acids
|
C, H, O, N, Phospherous
monomers= nucleotides store and transmit hereditary info *genetic blueprint RNA/DNA POLYMERS |
