Molecules Gone Wild

Bio-style!

Carbohydrates provide the energy for your life.

The simplest form like glucose is known as a monosaccharide.

Combine two and make the larger sugar called disaccharide…

… …

The largest is a polysaccharide!

Lipids [include] the fats; three fatty acids with the glycerol makes up the fat.

Triglycerides with only single bonds are saturated fats…

but if they’re double bonds they now become unsaturated fats (don’t eat too much fat)!

Monomers build to polymers filled with CHO.Elements in Carbohydrates Elements in Lipids

Hey!

One with HO other with H so bond and go. Hey! Release H2O. Hey!

Dehydration synthesis is underway!

Proteins: the building blocks that make up your whole body.Your skin, your hair, your muscles – need proteins to get the hotties! Break down polypeptide to amino acids in your body.

Nitrogen comes to the party!

Nucleic Acids!The famous one is DNA that’s known by all you kids.

With two polynucleotide chains linked to make it valid,which break into single nucleotides when it’s digested,

Phosphorous added!

When you eat food to get in the mood (to study)

molecules will flow

straight down your throat.

Hey!

Hey!

Need to break those big polymers, so here’s H2O.

Hey!

Splits to H and O.

Hey!

Hydrolysis is what I just now displayed-ayed-ayed-ayed!

Food deforms into its simplest forms.When you eat it, break it down, then it reforms.

Now you’re informed. So please study more.

Study! Study!

Read your notes and textbooks!You know what I’m sayin’?
