Study Notes
Essential Elements (CHNOPS)
- Key elements vital for life: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Sulfur
- These elements are fundamental in constructing biological macromolecules.
Macromolecules Overview
- Four primary macromolecules: Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids
- These molecules play crucial roles in structural and functional processes in living organisms.
Carbohydrates
- Composed of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen
- Includes mono-, di-, and polysaccharides.
- Functions include short-term energy storage (e.g., in potatoes, pasta, and rice).
- Often represented in a cyclical form.
Lipids
- Made of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen; non-polar and do not mix with water
- Fatty acid tails characterize lipids, essential components of cell membranes.
- Serve multiple functions: long-term energy storage, insulation, and protection.
- Include substances like oils, waxes, blubber, and butter.
- Examples include cholesterol and testosterone.
Proteins
- Composed of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Sulfur
- Play critical roles in hormones, structural support, and catalyzing biochemical reactions.
Nucleic Acids
- Contain Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus
- Key macromolecules include DNA and RNA, central to genetic information storage and transfer.
