answersNucleic Acids
Carbohydrates - answersExamples: makeup sugars and starches; found in muscles as
glycose; food sources are banana potato, whole grain, oat
, Function: store energy in plants and animals; energy is released when carbs are broken
down, structural molecules in short term energy storage
Structure: Chain; O-Carb-O-Carb-O-Carb
Subunit: (see picture)
Organic molecule that functions in short term energy storage
Lipids - answersExamples: Lipids in the body are fats and oils, providing energy,
producing hormones, steroids, waxes, vitamins; food sources are milk, cheese, meat
Function: THREE MAIN JOBS - stores energy, forms, and waterproofs cell membranes,
carry messages, acts as and waterproofs structural components of cell membranes.
Structure: Glycerol + 3 fatty acids = Fat; Phosphorated glycerol + two fatty acids =
phoshoral; Chain of O and OH = steroid
Subunit: (see picture)
Organic molecule that functions in long-term energy storage
Nucleic Acids - answersExamples: Every living thing, specifically in the nucleus where
DNA is held
Function: store and transmit hereditary and genetic info; genetic info tells cells how to
build cells
Structure: RNA and DNA
Subunit: Nucleotide (see picture)
Organic molecule that carries hereditary information; DNA and RNA
Proteins - answersExamples: Fibrosis; Globular; Membrane; beans, meat, and cheese
Function: control the rate of reactions and regulate cell processes; form bones and
structural molecule; transport substances into cells to help fight disease
Structure: amino acids create long chains to create a protein; amino acids - amino acids
- amino acids - amino acids - amino acids
Subunit: amino acids (see picture)
Organic molecule made of amino acid subunits
