Biomolecules

2.  Any molecules that are produced by a living organism,
including large macromolecules such as proteins,
polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids.

4. Formally known as Polypeptides
Made up of the element C, H, O, and N
Made of many amino acids bonded together in a long chain
Have structural and mechanical uses and also participate
in many cellular processes

5. Body-building molecules that help us grow
Transport molecules in and out of the cell
Control the speed of chemical reactions
Used for growth and repair
Building blocks: amino acids

6. General formula: RCH(NH2)COOH. R is a side chain,
usually an amino acid.

7. PROTEINS CAN WORK AS
ENZYMES - BIOLOGICAL
CATALYSTS Enzymes are mainly
globular proteins - protein
molecules where the
tertiary structure has
given the molecule a
generally rounded, ball
shape (although perhaps a
very squashed ball in
some cases).
