Macromolecules

amino acids connected by peptide bonds (polypeptides), made up of multiple polypeptides

hydrogen, carboxyl group, amino group, R group

amino acid basic sequence, important for all structures

amino acid, segments of polypeptide chain folds into either alpha helixes or beta pleated sheets

amino acid, determines the function, one chain made from coils and sheets

amino acid, two or more chains made of coils/sheets

disruption of protein folding, causing loss of structure and function

speed up chemical reaction in bodies by lowering the amount of energy needed for reaction

nucleic acid, contains info for diversity + function, double stranded helix, can be replicated

nucleic acid, single strand, involved in protein synthesis

1:2:1 ratio (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen), fuel and cell structure, made of monomers/monosaccharides

provides fuel, but is turned to glycogen (short term) or fat (long term) for storage

plant cell walls, fiber, non digestible but helps with digestion

nonpolar, hydrophobic, greasy to the touch

glycerol (head) and fatty acid (tail), saturated and unsaturated fats, help with cholesterol and heart

regulating growth/development, cholesterol and steroid hormones (estrogen, testosterone)

hydrophilic head, hydrophobic tail, component of membrane to keep things in/out
