Document Summary

Structure and function of macromolecules: types of macromolecules. Nucleic acids: carbohydrates: molecules of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, structure. Polysaccharides: major source of energy for cells, proteins: polymers of amino acids; joined by peptide bonds, r = side group, proteins. There are 20 different common amino acids, with different chemical properties. Amino acids are made up of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. Different combinations of amino acids give proteins different shapes. A proteins function depends upon its sequence of amino acids and its shape: lipids: hydrophobic; composed mostly of carbon and hydrogen. Phospholipid: nucleic acids = polymers of nucleotides, nucleotide = a phosphate + sugar + a nitrogenous base. Nucleotides are of two types, depending on the sugar: rna = ribonucleic acid. Dna is the hereditary material in nearly all organisms. Rungs of nitrogen base pairs: bonding between bases on opposite strands follows strict base-pairing rules: A with t (or u in rna)
