Study Notes
Macromolecules Overview
-
Carbohydrates: Include starch, glycogen, glucose, and cellulose.
- Starch: Polysaccharide, provides long-term energy storage for plants.
- Glycogen: Short-term energy storage, found only in liver and muscle cells.
- Glucose: Simple sugar, offers immediate energy, converts to ATP in cells.
- Cellulose: Forms cell walls in plants, a type of fiber.
-
Proteins: Composed of amino acids and polypeptides.
- Amino Acid: Monomers of proteins, essential for protein synthesis.
- Enzyme: Speeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy; crucial for metabolic processes.
-
Lipids: Include cholesterol, steroids, phospholipids, and fatty acids.
- Cholesterol: Vital component of cell membranes, type of steroid.
- Steroid: Includes sex hormones and all hormonal compounds.
- Phospholipid: Forms cellular membranes, both in plants and animals.
- Unsaturated Fatty Acid: Found in plants, beneficial for health.
- Saturated Fat: Found in animal products, provides long-term energy storage.
-
Nucleic Acids: Composed of nucleotides, includes DNA and RNA.
- Nucleotide: Monomer unit for nucleic acids.
