Biomolecules by Kristin Hanson 6th period
Biomolecules are organic molecules that include lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and proteins. Biomolecules are essential to all living things. They are living because bio means life. In each biomolecule you can find that your body uses each one to maintain homeostasis. Each biomolecule contains their own monomer which are simple molecules that may form long chains which can form polymers which are many monomers that are bonded together; monomers are joined together by a chemical process called dehydration synthesis.
Carbohydrates which are used to maintain homeostasis, because our body digest the carbohydrates which are known as sugar or starch and used to maintain energy, mainly for metabolic …show more content…
Triglycerides in food are called fats and oils, fatty acids are the key building blocks of lipids and determine the characteristics of a fat, such as leather. Lipids are a solid or a liquid at room temperature. The structure of fatty acids are measured in chain links meaning the number of carbons that a fatty acid contains. The main and most important function of a lipid is to store and withhold energy to be used later or to be stored in your body. Lipids help maintain homeostasis by using essential fatty acids that the body needs but can not synthesize and must obtain from …show more content…
Other foods that are common in Japan are fish, sushi, noodles, kobe beef, and miso soup. The local geography of Japan affects the cash crops because the land is not good for farming, which means that they also have to rely on the sea. In other words their diet is lower in processed foods because they rely more on the sea, eating raw and grilled seafood and by eating lots of wheat soybeans and rice.
In Norway the cash crops include; rye, oat, barley, and potatoes, these cash crops are mostly proteins and lipids. Other foods that are common in Norway are fish soup, smoked salmon, atlantic herring, and gravlax. The reason is because about 10,000 years ago Norway was covered in solid ice, and when it finally melted it created a lot of water (lakes, river, etc.). The local geography of Norway affects the cash crops because most of the land there is arable or not able to grow
