Biomolecules in Living
Beings
- Carbohydrates
- Most of the energy for the
metabolic activities of the cell in
all organisms is derived from the
oxidation of Carbohydrate.
- Carbohydrate functions
as an energy source of
the body and acts as Bio
fuel
- Glucuse, that is a
main feature of
carbohydrate, is
transported from
one cell to another
by blood in case of
animals and cell sap
in case of plants, to
produce energy.
- Lipids
- Lipids such as
triglycerides are
storage compounds
for the reserve
energy of the body.
- They serve
as a source
of fat
soluble
vitamins
(A, D, E, K)
- Lipids are
important
as cellular
metabolic
regulators
- Proteins
- Protein is a nutrient your body needs
to grow, as well as to support and
maintain your life.
- help cells develop and
communicate, act as enzymes and
hormones, conduct the transport
of nutrients throughout your
bloodstream and repair damaged
tissue.
- Nucleic acids
- Nucleic acids consist of three
different types of molecules
joined together:
- A Sugar
Molecule
- Nitrogen
Molecule
- Phosphate
molecule
- The main role of nucleic acids is
store the genetic information that
cells in the body need to function.
- DNA
- RNA
