brief explnation of the 4 MAIN MACROMOLECULES

Macromolecules are essential biological molecules that include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleotides, each playing crucial roles in the human body. Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and can form long chains or single compounds.

brief explnation of the 4 MAIN MACROMOLECULES

3 structures

polycarbohydrates

is a long chain of mono carbohydrates

dicarbohydrates

consist of two monocarbohydrytes

monocarbphydrates

is a singles compound with c6h12o6

5 main types

waxes

a glycerol bonded to alcohol often found in plats used for water protecion

steroids

are made up of 4 carbon rings

phospholipds

have a double nature of hydrophobic and hydrophilic

fatty acids

are composed of carbon atoms chains with hydrogen atoms

fats

made of a glycerol and 3 fatty acids

4 main nucleotides

guanine

cytosine

adenine

thymine

uracil:in case of RNA changes thymine to uracil

structures

secondary

folds or twist done to the primary structure caused by hydrogen

primary

is a group of amino acids joined by peptide bonds

quantary

a group of polypeptide bonds joins together

tertiary

another folds resulted due to interactions between the proteins amino acids

4 MAIN MACROMOLECULES

carbohydrates are made of carbon hydrogen and oxygen


phospholipdis are also made of a di-glycerol and a phosphate group bond



dna is made of pentose sugar nucleotides are bonded with a phosphodiester bond to the strands while each nucleotide has a weak hydrogen bond to one anther



steroids are found in body like testrogen or cholesterol in which is used to produce vitamin d by ultra violet sunlight rays in case of cholesterol that is also essential to the human body


proteins are one of the last energy sources if needed and broken down they would produce a toxic nitrogenous waste





proteins

nucletides
