Biological Molecules

You should be able to answer the following question.

For each of the four classes of large biological molecules (Proteins, Carbohydrates, Nucleic Acids and Lipids):

1.     Describe its structure in terms of:

a.     The elements it is composed of.

b.    What functional groups are typical of the class.

c.     If it is a polymer describe the monomer and explain how they are put together.

d.      If it is not a polymer, describe what it is made of and how the units are put together.

2.     Give at least two examples of each and describe their functions.

Use any resource you like.  I suggest googling each of the four classes to make sure you know the information.
