Lipids

• Fats Oils
• Made of CHO
• Phospholipids (Make up Cell Membranes)
• Triglycerides (Fats that clog our arteries!)

5
Phospholipid
6
A Triglyceride made of a Glycerol 3 Fatty
Acids

Protein (aka Polypeptide)

• Found in Muscle (Meat, Fish, Poultry), Beans
• Made of CHON
• Shape Specific!
• Enzymes are Proteins!
• Made of long chains of Amino Acids bonded
  together at Ribosome
• Make you YOU!
• Can be DENATURED
• By Temp pH

Nucleic Acids

• Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) and
• Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)
• The genetic instructions for the cell
• Transmits our hereditary information
• DNA is housed in the nucleus in structures called
  Chromosomes
• RNA is a copy of the DNA instructions

10
Nucleic Acids

• Made of CHONP
• A long string of Nucleotides
• DNA is a double helix and cannot leave the
  nucleus
• Made up of A,T,C,G
• RNA is a single strand and can leave the nucleus
  through the nuclear pores
• Made up of A,U,C,G
