Macromolecules-What Are the Building Blocks of Life
Document Content and Description Below
Macromolecules: What are the building blocks of life? Background Information: From the smallest single-celled organism to the tallest tree, all life depends on the properties and reactions of four ... classes of organic (carbon-based) compounds—carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. We will spend an entire unit later in the year on nucleic acids. Carbohydrates, Lipids, and Proteins are the 3 building blocks of all living things that we will focus on this unit. These are called MACROmolecules because they are large molecules. They are responsible for most of the structure and functions of the body, including energy storage, insulation, growth, repair, and communication. Simple organic molecules can be joined together to form all the essential biological molecules needed for life. Directions: Table 1 shows a sample elephant diet and Table 2 shows a sample lion diet based on the animal nutrition lab. Using the background information, predict the main function of the macromolecules found in their diet [Show More]
