1. Major Groups of BIOMOLECULES (4 of them): Carbs, Lipids, Proteins, &
Nucleotides
2. Proteins, Lipids, and Carbs combine to form (3 things):: glycoproteins,
glycolipids, or lipoproteins
3. Carbs (3 Major Forms): Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, & Polysaccharides
4. Monosaccharides (Def): Simple Sugars - either 5 or 6 carbons
5. Examples of Monosaccharides: Ribose, Deoxyribose, Fructose, Glucose,
Galactose
6. Disaccharides (Def): Glucose + another monosaccharide
7. Examples of Disaccharides: Glucose + Fructose = Sucrose
Glucose + Glucose = Maltose
Glucose + Galactose = Lactose
8. Polysaccharides (Def): Glucose Polymers - All living cells store glucose for
energy in the form of a polysaccharide
9. Examples of Polysaccharides: Animals: Chitin & Glycogen
Plants: Cellulose & Starch
10. 4 Levels to a Protein: Primary Structure (sequence of amino acids), Secondary
Structure (alpha helix & beta-pleated sheets), Tertiary Structure (chains fold), &
Quarternary Structure
11. Subunits of Proteins: Amino Acids
