Essential Question: How does the structure of macromolecules affect their utilization in the body?
Questions:
What if one of these things
go wrong in the body, what
would happen?
`
Summary: The structure of macromolecules affects their utilization in the body because it creates proteins,
hydrogens and compounds in the body. It keeps the body moving and alive. Functional groups affect the bonds
that hold a macromolecule together. The ring forms of glucose in starch and cellulose have different
arrangements. All that makes the cellulose and starch serve different purposes.
Questions:
Why is
monosaccharide
and polysaccharide
important?
more H
Secondary Polymers:
-Steroids- ex: sex hormones, cholesterol, chlorophyll
-Waxes- at least one double bond between carbon atoms ex: ear wax, beeswax
Summary: The structure of macromolecules affects their utilization in the body because of the bonds. The
characteristic of lipids allows them to form layers, which serve as membranes of cells. The bonds help them break
down such as helping them to do other things. They provide them hydrogen and oxygen to survive.
