Biology: Organic Molecules

Organic Molecules:	What are they made of?	Foods where they can be found:	Functions:
Proteins	Carbon, Oxygen,  Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Sulfur	meat, egg, fish, nuts, beans	Are part of cell membranes. Make up many of the organelles. Build body structures (muscles).
Carbohydrates	Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen	fruits, vegetables, sugar	Are part of cell membranes and cell wall.
Lipids	Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen	fats, oils	The energy is stored in lipids for later use.
Nucleic Acids	Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus		Contain instructions that cells need to carry out all the life functions (DNA, RNA).
