lipids with a complex molecular structure
( cholestrol, testerone, oestrogen, progesterone )
proteins :
- basic unit = amino acids
- build new cells for growth and renew damaged tissues.
- required for? synthesis of enzymes, antibodies, hormones
- forms strutural components such as keratin in skin, collagen in bones and myosin in muscle tissues.
- its an important components of the plasma membrane
- involved in synthesis of haemogolobin
nucleic acid :
- macromolecule which store genetic informations in terms of codes.
- basic unit? nucleotides
- Nucleotide consist of 3 components : nitrogenous base, pentose sugar, phosphate group.
two types of nucleic acid :
- DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) - double stranded nucleic acid. two strands of polynucleotides twisted around each other) forms? double helix. are usually found in the nucleus. but also can be found in mitichondria and choloroplast
- RNA (ribonucleic acid) - found in the cytoplasm, ribosomes and nucleus
