BIOMOLECULES
- CARBOHYDRATES Or sugar is a short-term energy source. Its monomer is a monosaccharide. Its polymer is starch, cellulose. (Anything With OSE as an ending is a sugar.Eg, GlucOSE, FructOSE, CellulOSE). Its chemical makeup is CHO or Carbon 6 – Hydrogen 12 – Oxygen 6
- LIPIDS Or fat is a Long Term Energy storage source. Its monomer is Fatty Acids, its polymers are Butter and Fat. Its ration is Carbohydrates 1 – Hydrogen 2- Oxygen Less than one or rounded to none
- Protein is used to create everything in our bodies from muscle to bones etc. Its monomer is Ammino Acids. Its ratio is CHON or Carbohydrate, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen (Different ratios depending on the type)
- Nucleic Acids are what store information for you to be you, Its monomer is Nucleotides, of which there are 5. Its ratio depends, like Proteins but consists of CHONP, or Carbohydrates, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and phosphorus (Sometimes has sulfur as well)
