Science 10 Activity 2 Biomolecules

Biomolecules are electrically neutral clumps of atoms called molecules that exist as monomers or polymers. The document defines key biomolecules - carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids - and provides examples of their monomers, polymers, and sample biomolecules. It also includes a table illustrating the structures of biomolecules, their monomers and polymers, and examples. The table shows that carbohydrate monomers are monosaccharides like glucose, their polymers are disaccharides and polysaccharides, and examples include nucleotides. Lipid monomers are glycerol and fatty acids, their polymers are triglycerides, phospholipids, waxes and steroids, and examples are fats, oils, waxes and vitamins.

Biomolecules
I. Define the following.

a. Biomolecules

- An electrically neutral clump of atoms called a molecule can exist by itself in a free state while retaining its distinctive
features.

b. monomers

- The building units of polymers are monomers. Only molecules with two or more bonding sites that can serve as
monomers.

c. polymers

- Any member of the family of natural or artificial substances known as polymer is made up of very big molecules or
macro-molecules.

II. Complete the table.
