2. 2 Biomolecules Foldable

*Carbs* Function: • QUICK Energy

*Carbs* Special Notes: • End in –ose • 2 Types 1. Sweet (Simple/Sugary) • Monosaccharides 2. Starchy (Complex Carbs. ) • Polysaccharides

*Carbs* Examples: 1. Sweet Simple Sugars • Monosaccharide: Glucose • Disaccharides: Lactose & Sucrose 2. Complex Carbs. • Glycogen: How animals store sugar • Starch: How plants store sugar

*Carbs* Foods: 1. Simple Carbs: • Candy & Soda 2. Complex Carbs: • Bread, Potatoes, Rice

*Lipids* Function: • STORED Energy • Insulation • Waterproofing

*Lipids* Special Notes: • End in –ol • Do NOT dissolve in water

*Lipids* Examples: • Fats • Oils • Waxes

*Lipids* Foods: • Butter • Olive Oil • Corn Oil • Vegetable Oil

*Proteins* Function: • Structure of tissue & organs

*Proteins* Special Notes: • End in –in • Fold in various ways to form “neat” shapes (oragami) • Enzymes are an example

*Proteins* Examples: • Hemoglobin (blood) • Insulin (pancreas) • Keratin (hair/nails)

*Proteins* Foods: • Steak • Chicken • Fish • Eggs • Nuts

*Nucleic Acids* Function: • Carries your genetic information in the form of code

*Nucleic Acids* Special Notes: • Any and all living & once living things have nucleic acids

*Nucleic Acids* Examples: • DNA • RNA

*Nucleic Acids* Foods: • All
