• pp. 51-60

2
LARGE CARBON MOLECULES

• Condensation reaction H2O removed to link 2
  monomers
• Hydrolysis add H2O to break bond between
  monomers

3
CARBOHYDRATES MONOMERS

• Monomer monosaccharide (simple sugar)
• Made of C, H, and O and easily recognized by ring
  structure but no N like in DNA!!

4
CARBOHYDRATES MACROMOLECULES

• 2 monosaccharides disaccharide
• 3 or more monosaccharides polysaccharide
  (macromolecule) such as starch or cellulose

Disaccharide ?
5
LIPIDS MONOMERS

• Monomer fatty acids
• ex. Linoleic acid
• Large and nonpolar (doesnt dissolve in water)
• Store a lot of energy

6
LIPIDS MACROMOLECULES

• Triglycerides 3 molecules of fatty acids
• Phospholipids two fatty acids
• EX. Cell membranes
• Steroids, cholesterol, wax, hormones
