BIOLOGICAL MOLECULE:- Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are called macronutrients as they are required in larger amounts. These are needed for various metabolic activities and for protection against various diseases. NUCLEIC ACIDS- They can be single or double-stranded DNA/RNA molecules. The nucleic acids can be linear or circular, they can have plus or minus polarity. ORGANIC MOLECULE SINGLE UNIT/MONOMER BOND BETWEEN SINGLE UNITS IDENTIFYING FUNCTIONAL GROUPS EXAMPLES OF MONOMERS EXAMPLES OF POLYMERS FUNCTIONS CARBOHYDRATES Monosaccharide Glycosidic bond Aldehyde or ketone, alcohol Glucose Starch, chitin, cellulose. 1. Immediate source of energy. 2. Helps in the formation of enzymes and hormones. LIPIDS Glycerol and fatty acids Ester linkage Esters (both carboxylate and phosphate), alcohol groups. Glycerol, fatty acids Triglyceride (tristearic acid). 1. Used for energy storage 2. To provide cushion to bony parts. PROTEINS Amino acid Peptide bond Alcohols, thiols, carboxylic acids. Amino acids Polypeptides or proteins 1. Needed for growth and maintenance. 2. Provides structure and balances fluids. NUCLEIC ACIDS Nucleotides Phosphodiester bond Aldehyde or ketone, Alcohol. Nucleotides (A, T, C, G, U) Nucleic acids (DNA/RNA). 1. Contains hereditary information. 2. Needed for proteins synthesis (translation).
