Carbohydrates - Sugars (Glucose, Glycogen, Starch in plants)
Lipids (Fats) - Oils, Waxes, Phospholipids, Steroids
Proteins - Enzymes, Amino Acids
Nucleic Acid - DNA and RNA

∙ 13y agoProtein Characteristics
Till this point we have discussed about structure and certain related issues of different types of proteins
associated with the muscles. Lets now have a look at biochemical issues related to proteins as the structures
are ultimately formed from biochemicals which through several important biochemical changes end up forming
the structures which we see.
- Proteins are made of amino acids which can be hydrophobic as well as polar
- Polar amino acids act like pH buffers.
- Characteristics of a region of a protein are a function of amino acid composition.
- Shape is a function of regional characteristics.
- Hidden or partially hidden regions like in three dimensional shapes tend to have weaker characteristics
- The interactions between and within a protein are due to -
i) hydrophobic linkages
ii) ionic charges
iii) Disulfide bonds - these can be easily broken or formed.
iv) covalent bonds - these hard to form or broken.

Carbohydrate monomers are monosaccharides like glucose, protein monomers are amino acids, and nucleic acid monomers are nucleotides, made of a phosphate group, a 5-carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base.

What are four names of macromolecules?
Macromolecules are very large molecules. The term is used for the four biopolymers nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. It is also used to describe non-polymeric molecules - such as macrocycles.
What are the four classes of macromolecules and their importance?
CARBOHYDRATES- polymers of sugars LIPIDS- polymers of fatty acids PROTEINS- polymers of amino acids NUCLEIC ACIDS- polymers of nucleotides

What are the 4 classes of macromolecules?
Lipids (oils and fats), Carbohydrates [Saccharides (Sugars) and Fibers etc.), Nucleic Acids, and Proteins (You can get from Meat, Eggs, etc.)Carbohydrates (e.g. glucose, sucrose), proteins (e.g. enzymes, transporters, receptors), lipids (e.g. phospholipids, cholesterol), nucleic acids (e.g. DNA, RNA).
