Biomolecule Monomer
Categorize Carbohydrates by its monomer.
Monosaccharide
Sugar (Glucose)
What is the Carbohydrate composition? In what ratio?
C, H, O aka "CHO"
Ratio - 1:2:1
What is the Carbohydrate Function?
what does dehydration mean?
take away water.
Compare a monomer to a polymer.
Monomer: smallest unit, or building block of an organic molecule
Polymer: long-chain molecule made up of repeated monomers
Categorize Lipids by its monomer.
Fatty Acid and Glycerol
What is the Lipid compostion? In what ratio?
C, H, O aka "CHO"
Ratio - 1:2: "less than 1"
What is the Lipid Function?
Source of long term energy
Protection
Insulation
Make up cell membrane
what does hydration mean?
add water.
What is the difference between an unsaturated fat and a saturated fat. Provide an example of each.
Ex. Vegetable oils, plant & fish fats
Saturated: Straight chain, solid at room temp, BAD
Ex. Grease from animal meat, butter, lard
Categorize Proteins by its monomer.
Amino Acid
What is the Protein composition?
C, H, O, N, S aka "CHONS"
What is the Protein Function?
Growth and Repair
Structural Support
What does dehydration synthesis do?
creates a water molecule to build/ bond monomers together.
What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide?
1. Phosphate group
2. Sugar
3. Nitrogenous base
Categorize Nucleic Acid by its monomer.

What is the Nucleic Acid composition?
C, H, O, N,P aka "CHONP"
What is the Nucleic Acid Function?
What does hydrolysis do?
water molecule is used to break up a polymer into monomers.
Name all four biomolecules and their monomer.
"CLAN"
carbohydrates- sugar (glucose)
lipid- fatty acid, glycerol
protein- amino acid
nucleic acid- nucleotides
Which element makes large structures of organic molecules possible?
Carbon
Why are biomolecules important?
They are fundamental building blocks of all living organisms and are essential for carrying out all biological processes necessary for life (RHOGEER).
If I start with a sucrose and want to break it down into its monomers, what type of reaction would occur?
Hydrolysis
Come up to the board and draw the dehydration synthesis of proteins OR carbohydrates.
