BIOMOLECULES

These are the essential in every living thing on Earth to survive. They are essential sources of energy, the means in storing energy, and also for the instructions for the cell functions. They are the ingredients for life.

• Atoms

• Biomolecules

• DNA

• Molecules

Which biomolecule has a biological function as a first-line source of energy?

• Carbohydrates

• Lipids

• Nucleic Acids

• Proteins

The following samples are simple carbohydrates except _______.

• Cellulose

• Fructose

• Glucose

• Sucrose

These biomolecules are organic molecules that are insoluble in water because of their lack of polarity. They are also commonly known as fats.

• Carbohydrates

• Lipids

• Nucleic Acids

• Proteins

This classification of fat tend to be solid at room temperature and from animal sources.

• Saturated fat

• Unsaturated fat

• Waxes

• Cholesterol

This classification of fat are usually liquid and from plant sources.

• Saturated fat

• Unsaturated fat

• Waxes

• Cholesterol

These biomolecules are some of the most complex macromolecules in terms of structure

and function. Like carbohydrates, these are also very abundant in living organisms. The building blocks of this is the amino acid

• Carbohydrates

• Lipids

• Nucleic Acids

• Proteins

It is a type of protein that are found in the skin.

• Collagen

• Keratin

• Hemoglobin

• Valine

These biomolecules act as storage of genetic information in cells. Common examples include deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

• Carbohydrates

• Lipids

• Nucleic Acids

• Proteins

It is made of nucleotides which has three (3) parts these are the: Five Carbon sugar, phosphate group, and the nitrogenous bases. The nitrogenous bases are the: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. It is important the arrangement of these nitrogenous bases is correct. This is where our appearances depend.
