made up of amino acids
speeds up and controls chemical reactions
makes up breads, pastas, fruits, and sweets
acts as a waterproofing molecule.
examples are vegetable oil and butter.
dna and rna are examples
the polymer of amino acids
the basis of heredity.
the polymer of fatty acids.
made up of nucleotides
makes up meats, nuts, and eggs
stored energy
immediate energy source for living things.
made up of monosaccharides
includes fats, oils, and waxes
makes up many structural components of living things
determine the traits of living things
Proteins are made of amino - acids and are in meats, nuts, eggs etc. They can speed up and control chemical reactions. Lipids make up the cell membrane bilayer, act as waterproofing molecules, are stored energy and include fats, oils and waxes. Carbohydrates are made of monosaccharides, are an immediate energy source and make up breads, pastas etc. Nucleic acids store hereditary information, DNA and RNA are examples and they are made of nucleotides.
