Study Notes

Monosaccharides

Glucose, Fructose, and Galactose are examples of monosaccharides.
Ribose and Deoxyribose are monosaccharides found in RNA and DNA respectively.
Glucose and Fructose are isomers, meaning they have the same number of atoms but different arrangements.

Proteins

Proteins are large biological molecules.
Quaternary structure results from the association of four protein subunits.

Nucleic Acids

A sugar-phosphate backbone is formed by covalent bonding between the phosphate of one nucleotide and the sugar of the next nucleotide.
Nitrogenous bases extend from the sugar-phosphate backbone.

Fats

Fats are lipids made from glycerol and fatty acids.
Fats are important for energy storage and contain twice as much energy as a polysaccharide.
Unsaturated fats have fewer than the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
