Chapter 4Chemical elements that make up carbohydrates,
ER
fats and proteins
Large molecules are made from smaller
molecules
SS
starch, glycogen and cellulose from
glucose
proteins from amino acids
(fats and oils from fatty acids and
NA
glycerol
Describe the use of:
iodine solution test for starch
Benedict’s solution test for reducing
D
sugars
biuret test for proteins
ME
ethanol emulsion test for fats and oils
DCPIP test for vitamin C
Structure of DNA molecule
two strands coiled together to form a
AH
double helix
each strand contains bases
bonds between pairs of bases
the bases: A with T, and C with G
DR
, biological molecules: organic molecules

what is the human body made of?
About 16% is protein, another 16% is fat, and
DR
around 1% is carbohydrate. The remaining
6% is calcium and phosphorus (mostly in bones)
and some other elements
such as potassium, sodium, phosphate and
chloride ions. DNA makes up less than 1% of
our mass.
