Brief Explanations
- Carbohydrates can make one think of energy - giving foods like bread or rice.
- Monomer of carbohydrates is monosaccharide.
- Examples of carbohydrates include glucose, starch.
- Lipids can make one think of fats and oils, like butter or olive - oil.
- Elements in lipids are C, H, O (with a lower O : C ratio compared to carbohydrates).
- Examples of lipids are fats, oils, waxes.
- Proteins can make one think of muscle - building foods like meat or beans.
- Monomer of proteins is amino acid.
- Elements in proteins are C, H, O, N, and sometimes S.
- Examples of proteins include enzymes, hemoglobin.
- Nucleic acids can make one think of genetic information.
- Monomer of nucleic acids is nucleotide.
- Elements in nucleic acids are C, H, O, N, P.
