1
They are those lipids that can be broken down into fatty acids and alcohol. They are so called because soap can be made from them
2
Collagen, elastin, and keratin are proteins that appear as part of bones (collagen), are found under the skin (collagen and elastin), or form the epidermis of the skin, nails, horns, hair, or feathers (keratin).
3
There are blood proteins that transport lipids (for example cholesterol), hemoglobin also transports oxygen in the blood, myoglobin does it in the muscles and cytochromes transport electrons in the mitochondria, allowing the process of cellular respiration.
4
This function is essential. Enzymes are proteins that support and allow all chemical reactions in cells (metabolism) to take place. There are thousands of different ones, which catalyze as many reactions. They are very specific and chemical transformations do not take place in their absence.
5
They are made up of a molecule with three carbons and three groups –OH, propanetriol or glycerin.
6
Is stablished between the hydroxyl group of the fatty acid of one amino acid and the nitrogen of the amino group of another amino acid.
7
Son cadenas de hidrocarburos, que pueden estar saturadas o insaturadas. Su característica más llamativa es que son muy insolubles en agua, por lo que se dice que son hidrófobos.
8
It is a biomolecule that has a carbon that has its four valences saturated in the following way: it has an amino group attached, a carbon with a carboxyl acid group and a hydrogen.
9
They are organic biomolecules always made up of C, H, O and N. They can also contain S, P and some other bioelements, they are made up of small molecules called amino acids and are linked together through the so-called peptide bond.
10
They are organic biomolecules always made up of C, H and O, although many have phosphorus and nitrogen, and to a lesser extent sulfur. They are a very heterogeneous group in terms of their chemical composition, they are insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents, they are usually unctuous to the touch and less dense than water.
