Lipids
Carbohydrates: Monomer, Polymer, Job, & Elements (3)
M: Monosaccharides
P: Polysaccharides
J: Provides quick energy, cell supports, structure
E: C, H, O
Serves as an energy reserve for your body
Glycogen
Found in cell walls of Fungi; Exoskeletons of Arthopods
Chitin
Lipids: Monomer,
Polymer, Jobs, Elements(5)
M: Fatty acids, glycerol

J: Long term energy, membrane structure
E: C,H,O,N,P
TF:Lipids are polar and complete solubility in water
False
Nonpolar
Hydrophobic, limited solubility in water
Store energy provide insulation, and are the building blocks of hormones and cell membranes
Lipids
Examples of Carbohydrates (4)

Cell membrane lipids are what type of lipids?
Phospholipids
What happened when phospholipids mix with water?
Arrange themselves with hydrophobic heads tucked in
Phospholipids are __ at both end
Hydrophilic
Have 4 carbon rings linked together and is a key component of the plasma membrane of animal cells
Steroids
A steroid piped that partners with phospholipids in the cell membrane & helps firm up membrane and make it less permeable
Cholesterol
Made up of hydrocarbon chain with an alcohol (-OH) group and a fatty acid
Waxes
TF: Hydrocarbons are lipids
True
Proteins: Monomer, Polymer, Job, Elements(5)
M: Amino acids
P: Polypeptide = Protein
J: Communication, structure, enzymes
Elements: C,H,O,N,S
The most abundant organic molecules in living systems
Proteins
4 levels of protein structure
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
Quaternary
Protein structure: Sequence of the amino acid chain
Primary level
