"Hello, I'm Dr. Garfield. Today, I'll take you on a tour through the stomach and show you the different types of macromolecules."
"What are macromolecules? Macromolecules are huge molecules that are made up of smaller molecules. There are four types of macromolecules: lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and proteins."
"First, we'll talk about lipids. Lipids are made up of fatty acid chains and have many functions. Some of these functions include storing energy, making up cell membranes, acting as chemical messengers, and protect and insulate the body."
"You use lipids everyday without even knowing it! Lipids are found in things such as high fat dairy foods, coconut oil, and butter."
"Next up are carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are broken down and transferred into adenosine triphosphate for the body to use as energy."
"There are three types of carbohydrates; monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are one sugar unit. An example would be glucose."
I'm Glucose, part of the monosaccharide family!
"A disaccharide is two sugar units. Some examples include sucrose, maltose, and lactose. A polysaccharide is three sugar units. An example would be starch."
"Some examples of carbohydrates are fruit, bread, and junk foods. Make sure you eat these in moderation."
"Nucleic acids are another type of macromolecules. These carry genetic information to make proteins. The monomer of nucleic acids are nucleotides."
"Two types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acids. These acids are often shortened to DNA and RNA."
