Part I. Intro to macromolecule
A macromolecule is a molecule that is commonly created by polymerization of smaller subunits. Macromolecues have three conventional biopolymers (nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates) as well as non-polymeric molecules with large molecular mass such as lipids and macrocycles.
The individual constituent molecules of macromolecules are called monomers.
In-class notes
Cell membrane serves as a security wall.
The sturcture of cell membrane:
a) bilayer, which is a phospholipid, made of lipids (hydrophobic) and a phosphate head (hydrophilic)
b) Imbedded proteins that serve to transport messages and recognizes other cells that are allowed to pass through the cell membrane.
c) cholestera (fluid shape)
d) carbohydrate (C, H, O)
e) Glycoprotein, which is a combination of imbedden protein and carbohydrates--chemically communicates with cells.
