BIOCHEMISTRY
 CARBOHYDRATES
A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon hydrogen and
oxygen atoms , usually with a hydrogen –oxygen atom ratio of 2:1

FUNCTION OF
CARBOHYDRATES
Carbohydrates are essential part of our diet
 Carbohydrate are structural component of cells
 Carbohydrates play a role as energy source
EXAMPLE
1 .glycogen
2. Fructose
 Carbohydrate play a role as a source of protection
EXAMPLE
Plant cell wall is made up of cellulose
 Carbohydrates broken down to mainly glucose are the
preferred source of energy for our body as cells in our brain,
muscle and all other tissue directly use monosaccharide for
their energy need.
 Starches and sugars are the main energy providing
carbohydrates
 Regulation of fat metabolism
 Carbohydrate role in gastro intestinal function
 Carbohydrate play role in metabolism
 Carbohydrates provide supportive functions
 Monosaccharide are directly absorbed by small intestine into
the blood where they are transported to the cells in need
 Several hormones, including insulin and glycogen are also
part of digestive system
 PROTEIN
Protein defined as high molecular weight mixed polymer of a amino
acids joined together with peptide linkage.

FUNCTIONS OF
PROTEIN
 Proteins are Important constitute of protoplasm
 Simple protein (histone and protamine) combine with nucleic acids
to form nucleoproteins which carry heredity material from one
generation to another
 All enzymes are pretentious in nature
 Some hormones are proteins EXAMPLE insulin glycogen
parathyroid hormones.
  Perform carrier function
EXAMPLE hemoglobin carries oxygen and carbon dioxide ,
albumin carries iron and bilirubin etc.
 Help in the coagulation of blood
EXAMPLE fibrinogen and thrombin
 Protein perform defense function
EXAMPLE gamma globin’s
 Help in muscle concentration
EXAMPLE actin and myosin
 Protein provide energy
EXAMPLE 1gm of protein 4.2kilocalories
 Protein present in all viruses

LIPIDS
LIPIDS are molecules that contain hydrocarbons and make up the
building blocks of the structure and function of living cell. Example of
lipids include fats, oils waxes and certain vitamins such as A,D, E,K

FUNCTION OF
LIPIDS
Lipids play extremely important roles in the normal functions of
cell.lipids perform many function such as:
 Energy storage
 Main component of plasma membrane
 Insulation
 Acting as hormones
 Act as the structural component of the body and provide the
hydrophobic barrier that permits the aqueous contents of the cell
and subcellular structures
 Lipids are major source of energy in animals and high lipid
containing seeds
 They are stored in adipose tissue
 They serves as a source of fat-soluble vitamins A D E k
 Lipids (fats)are the concentrated fuel reserves of the body
 Lipids are important as cellular metabolic regulators
 Some lipids serves as precursors for the synthesis of complex
molecules example accetylcoeenzyme-A is used for synthesis of
cholesterol
