Document Summary

Compare and contrast the structure and functional roles of carbohydrates and lipids. Include a general description of these organic molecules in your discussion: carbohydrates, formed of c6h1206, called carbohydrates because carbon (carbo-) molecule is combined with hydrogen (hydro) molecule, monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides depending on number of monosaccharides bound together. Lipids: formed of c, h, o + sometimes phosphorous, nitrogen, dissolve only in nonpolar solvents (alcohol), not polar solvents (water, composed of glycerol (carbon molecule + 1 hydroxyl group) and fatty acids, saturated fat: single covalent bond. Phospholipids: polar end (hydrophilic ball), nonpolar end (hydrophobic legs: unsaturated fat: one or more covalent bonds. Compare and contrast the structure and functional roles of proteins and nucleic acids. Include a general description of these organic molecules in your discussion: proteins, formed of c, h, o, n (and sometimes sulfur, building blocks are amino acids. Sugar + base (thymine, uracil, cytosine, adenosine, guanine) + phosphate group.
