The 4 Biomolecules

The 4 Biomolecules

• You will get quizzed after every topic we go through.

• So please make sure to pay attention to what is on the presentation.

• In this presentation you are gonna learn about the 4 biomolecules.

• Including their functions.

• Also full of examples and pictures.

What are we learning?

Why are we learning this?

• It is important to know the functions that regulate the growth and development of our human body.

• These biomolecules help us in different ways, whether it's about energy, strength or our genetics.

• Since we require all four of these, life would not be possible, in other words we wouldn't survive.

Let's get started!

• Carbohydrates are in simple terms sugars and carbs.

• They are used for quick energy, also as a cell wall for plants.

• They are made up of glucose(sugar), with the elements of C, H, O

  Ex. You eat a granola bar that way you can workout better.

​

Carbohydrates

Multiple Choice

What's the function of Carbohydrates?

• Quick energy

• Long-term energy

• Get faster

• Get stronger

Multiple Choice

Carbohydrates elements are C, H, O and N

• True

• False

• Lipids are oils, waxes, saturated fats and unsaturated fats.

• Unlike carbohydrates, they are used for long-term energy.

• They are made up of fatty acid, surrounded by water, glycerol and the elements C, H, O.

Ex. You'll eat a fruit bowl if you wanna have energy to run a marathon.

​

Lipids

Multiple Choice

Lipids and Carbohydrates both have the same elements.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Lipids function is...

• Hydration

• Quick energy

• Get faster

• Long-term energy

• Proteins is a molecule made up of amino acid.

• They work for structure support, transport,strength, basically everything.

• They are made up of polypeptides, and the elements C, H, O, N.

Ex. After working out you would want to drink protein so it's more effective.

​

Proteins

Multiple Choice

What is a Protein made of?

• Nucleotides

• Oils

• Amino Acids

• Fats

Multiple Choice

Proteins work for everything.

• True

• False

• Nucleic Acids is in basic terms DNA and RNA.

• Since this molecule consists of DNA and RNA, it's meant to carry genetic information.

• They are made up of nucleotides and the elements C, H, O, N, P.

Ex. Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the genetic information to make the proteins you need.

​

Nucleic Acids

Multiple Choice

Nucleic Acids are meant to...

• Create nucleotides

• Carry genetic information

• Carry proteins

• Make DNA and RNA

Multiple Choice

Nucleic Acids only includes DNA.

• True

• False

Let's review all of it!

What we learned:

• The four biomolecules are called: Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids.

• They all four have different functions and are made up of different elements.

• All of their functions help us in specific different ways.

Let's go over it one last time!

Open Ended

What are the 4 biomolecules?

Multiple Choice

Which two biomolecules have the same elements?

(C, H, O)

• Carbohydrates and Proteins

• Proteins and Nucleic Acids

• Lipids and Nucleic Acids

• Carbohydrates and Lipids

Draw

What does a DNA or RNA strand supposlook like?

Multiple Choice

The main difference between carbohydrates and lipids is...

• One is for quick energy, the other one is for long-term energy

• Lipids have the elements C, H

• They're both the same

• Carbohydrates have the elements C, H, O, N
