| 4 biochemical macromolecules | Carbohydrates, Lipids, Porteins, and Nucleic Acid |
| The biochemical macromolecules that are found on food labels | Carbohydrates, Lipids, Porteins, |
| the only one not on a food label | Nucleic Acid |
| Two types of nucleic acid | DNA and RNA |
| what is a biochemical | a chemical found in living things |
| what is a polymer | a long chain of monomer |
| what is a monomer | a single peice of a ploymer |
| Carbohydrates | provide energey, is made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, most commom monomer is gluclosue and is shaped like a hexogonal ring |
| Proteins | make up our muscles, hair, skin, fingernails, help our immune system, make up hormomes, made up of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen, and is shaped like a knotted peice of string. |
| Lipids | contain a lot of energey, which is stored, some lipids insulate the body and coushion internal organs for protection, some make up hormones, the kind that are used in steroids, lipids form waxes(ear wax), lipids are made up of carbon hydrogen oxygen and are shaped like an E |
| Nucleic Acids | DNA and RNA, makes up chromosomes and inturperts/makes proteins, is shaped like a Double and single helix |
