Biomolecules - Study guides, Study notes & Summaries

Grade 10 IEB biomolecules and cell ultrastructure notes.

Grade 10 summary of ieb vitamins, minerals and bio molecules. Table format and includes types, functions and effects. Summary comprised using grade 10 life science ieb textbook and notes from class.

Summarized notes reviewing biomolecule types: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids; Their structure and functioning in the human body and plants. Additionally plant and animal cell comparisons, involving their structure, possible organelles and functions of each.

Lipids are one of the types of biomolecules in the body. Sometimes they are called macromolecules; sometimes organic molecules. Biomolecules include lipids, which we’ll discuss in this video, carbohydrates, protein, and nucleic acids.

Carbohydrates are biomolecules that always contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Polysaccharides are built from monosaccharides

Lipids contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, like carbohydrates, but the ratios of these atoms are different, so that lipids are typically nonpolar (another word for hydrophobic).

Nucleic acids are one of the four kinds of “biomolecules”. The other three are lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. Each DNA strand contains the genetic information of one chromosome. Each chromosome contains 50 - 250 million nucleotide pairs.

Nucleic acids are one of the four kinds of “biomolecules” (because they are found in living things). The other three are lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. You may also see them referred to as “organic molecules” (because they are based on carbon structures), or “macromolecules” (because they are so huge)

These notes contain the material covered during the lecture, they are not a complete summary of a textbook chapter.

Summarized notes reviewing digestive system function and structure, Digestion and Stages, Peristalsis, Adaptations of the stomach, nutrients and biomolecules, dietary diseases and problems.
