100
It is the main source of energy, converted into fat and is used to build structures in body.
What are the functions of Carbs?
100
These macromolecules are the only macromolecule that does not form long sequences made up of similar or repeating smaller units.
What is the structure of lipids?
100
Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acid are all important to life
What macromolecules does a living organism need to survive?
100
When consuming too much of this macromolecule, your body must remove more nitrogen waste products from your blood, which puts severe stress your kidneys
What happens with too much protein?
100
All macromolecules are made of organic molecules such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
What do they have in common?
200
Act as blueprints for structural and functional proteins that are synthesized in cells; stores hereditary information
What are the functions of nucleic acid?
200
H H O | | || N----C----C-OH | | H R
What is the structure of Protein?
200
It helps the body store and recreate hereditary info for inherited traits in all eukaryotes and prokaryotes and in viruses. It is responsible for healthy cell division and protein synthesis to help the body continue growth and development.
What are the benefits of Nucleic Acids?
200
Too much of this macromolecule leads to weight gain, fuel yeast overgrowth and cancer. Too little, leads to developing deficiencies. Both are considered severe forms of malnutrition.
What happens with too much or too little protein?
200
This macromolecule are the instructions for creating proteins, DNA and RNA. Protein makes up the plasma membrane that protects the nucleus where this macromolecule is located.
What are the interactions of nucleic acids?
300
Responsible for repair and maintenance, energy, production of some hormones, enzymes, transportation and storage of molecules and creation of antibodies
What are the functions of proteins?
300
O || H C H \ / \ / N C | | C C // \ / \ O N H | H
What is the structure of Amino Acids
300
It supplies body with energy, aids in digestion and keeps blood cholesterol levels at a healthy amount.
What are the benefits of Carbohydrates?
300
Not enough of this will cause vitamin deficiencies, lack of energy, the body will not produce enough hormones and metabolism will become low. Too much causes obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and can lead to strokes.
What happens to the body with too much or not enough Lipids?
300
Built by small monosaccharides, it used to build proteins and nucleic acid. It doesnt become a macromolecule until it has bonded with many other molecules of its type. Excess amounts of this macromolecule turns into lipids.
What are the interactions of carbohydrates?
400
It acts as chemical messengers, storage and provision of energy. maintenance of temperature, cholesterol formations, and is a solute for fat-soluble enzymes. These macromolecules are not water souble.
What are the functions of lipids?
400
H H O | | // H-C-C-C | | \ H H OH
What is the structure of a lipid?
400
They produce hormones, help digest food, provide energy for muscles and body processes. They can keep the body functioning if the body goes for an extended period without eating. They are also important in the formation of cell membrane
What are benefits of lipids?
400
With too little, blood sugar levels will drop, lose fat and energy. With too much, it gets converted into lipids (fat).
What happens to the body with too much or not enough carbohydrates?
400
Nucleic acid acts as the blueprint for this macromolecule. If it is located in the membrane of a cell, it may bond to the bilayer lipids of the cell. The macromolecules that bind carbohydrate structures are known as lectins.
What interactions take place with proteins?
500
Responsible for structure, functions and regulation of body's tissues and organs. It does most of the work within the cells.
What are the functions of proteins?
500
H O \ // C | H-C-OH | H-C-OH | H
What is the structure of Carbohydrates?
500
It produces hormones, enzymes, energy. Building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin and blood. Basically, we would fall apart without them
What are benefits of protein?
500
Elevated levels of this macromolecule have been reported in various disease conditions; such as ageing, degenerative disorders, cancer; inflammatory conditions, severe trauma and autoimmune disorders.
What are the consequences of too much Nucleic acids?
500
These macromolecues are converted into this macromolecule from carbs. A layer of this macromolecule may bind to the proteins of the peripheral membrane in some cases.
What is the interactions of lipids with other macromolecules?
