Unit 5: Macromolecule vocabulary

What is a carbohydrate?

• Provides the body's 2nd source of energy; stored energy, insulation.

• Its our bodies first energy source-quick energy.

• They make up the muscles, bones, internal organs, and skin, nails, and hair.

What is a Lipid?

• Provides the body's 2nd source of energy; stored energy and insulation

• Provides the body with quick energy.

• They make up the muscles, bones, internal organs, and skin, nails, and hair.

What is a protein?

• Provides the body's 2nd source of energy; stored energy and insulation

• Provides the body with quick energy.

• They make up the muscles, bones, internal organs, and skin, nails, and hair.

What is a monomer?

• A simple compound whose molecules can join together to form large molecules like carbohydrates. (building blocks)

• elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction (before the arrow)

• They make up the muscles, bones, internal organs, and skin, nails, and hair

What is a Product?

• A simple compound whose molecules can join together to form polymers

• The elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction. (after the arrow)

What is a Reactant?

• A simple compound whose molecules can join together to form polymers

• elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction (before the arrow)

How does our body make proteins to make muscles?

• By eating protein like chicken, beef, pork, nuts, beans

• By eating Carbohydrates like grains, pastas, veggies & fruits

• By eating lipids/fats like butter, olive oil, vegetable oil.

Our body pulls out the amino acids that we need from the protein we take in during_______________.

• digestion

• circulation
