Hola guys!
I am back with a question:-
Explain about the carbon-based molecules, and there are different types, namely, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Explain about their monomer units and their uses. If possible their structure too....
Best of luck !

here is your answer.
● Carbohydrates; -
The acids insoluble pellet also has carbohydrates as another class of macromolecules.
Carbohydrates are long chain compound . They are threads containing different monosaccharides as building blocks.
The main molecules present in carbon are ;-
● Carbon
● Hydrogen
● Oxygen.
It is also known as scarb, sugar, saccharides or starch.
1 gm of carbohydrates contains 4 kcal energy
.
Potato, rice , jawar , bread are the some carbohydrates rich food.
●
Lipids are generally water insoluble. They could be simply fatty acids. A fatty acids has a carboxyl group attached to an R group.
Another simple lipids is glycerol and fatty acids
Glycerol which is trihydroxy propane. some lipids have phosphorus and a phosphorylated organic compounds them. This is called phospholipids. They generally found in cell membrane.
●
Proteins are polypeptide. Each protein is a polymer of amino acids. A protein is a heteropolymer not homopolymer.
Their are 20 types of amino acids. And this amino acid are main components in protein. This protein or gained by a milk, and other dairy products. collagen is a most aboudent protein in animals world.
●
The other types of macromolecules that one would in the acids insoluble fraction of any living tissue is nucleic acid.
For nucleic acids the building blocks are nucleotide. The heterocyclic compounds in nucleic acids are the nitrogenous named as
●adenine
● Guanine
● uracil.
● cytosine
● Thymine
A nucleic acid containing acid deoxyribose is called deoxyribonucleic acid.
hope it helps you ☺
