Macromolecule Map Nucleic Acids Functions: Stores and transmits hereditary information Examples: DNA and RNA Characteristics: It has 3 parts, a base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group Elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus Monomer: Nucleotide Carbohydrates Characteristics: The elements are found in a 1:2:1 ratio, Examples: Sugar, Starches, Cellulose, Glycogen Functions: Quick and Stored Energy Monomer: Monosaccharides Lipids Characteristics: The defining properties of lipids are that it's non polar and its hydrophobic Examples: Fats, Oils, Phospholipids, Steroids, Waxes Functions: Energy storage, 2x carbs, cushions organs Elements: Carbon,Hydrogen, Oxygen Monomer: Triglyceride Protein Subtopic Characteristics: There are 20 different Amino Acids and there are Amino Acid chains which are connected by Peptide Bonds Examples: Fingernails, Skin, Hair, Enzymes, Hormones Functions: Hormones, muscle, immune system, protects against germs Elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen Monomer: Amino Acids
