 Lesson Carbohydrates: Its Classification,
1 Structure and Function

What’s New

Think about the food you eat

everyday. Different types of food give you
different nutrients for energy, growth, and
repair. These were introduced to you when
you were at the elementary grades. You
have learned that the bonding
characteristics of carbon result in the
formation of larger variety of compounds.
In this module, you will learn more
about compounds which are essential to
life. These compounds belong to four main
classes of biomolecules: carbohydrates,
lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Biomolecule, also called biological

are produced by cells and living assignments/biochemistrymacromolecules
organisms. Biomolecules have a wide
range of sizes and structures and perform a vast array of functions. The four major types
of biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. Carbohydrates and
lipids are generally made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Proteins and nucleic acids and
some derivatives of carbohydrates and lipids also contain nitrogen. You will also have the
opportunity to test food for the presence of biomolecules.

What is It

Carbohydrates are the major source of energy in

our body. These are simple sugar, starch sugar and
cellulose. All carbohydrates contain carbon hydrogen and
oxygen.

Figure 1. Foods rich in carbohydrates

WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module Science 10 3

 Figure 1 shows some foods that are rich in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the
major source of energy for the body. These are simple sugar, starch and cellulose. All
carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Carbohydrates are classified as monosaccharide, disaccharide, and polysaccharide

according to the number of monosaccharides linked together to form a molecule.

A. Monosaccharide, “mono” means one and saccharides also known as carbohydrates.

They often called simple sugar that cannot be hydrolyzed to simple sugar. It is white solid
at room temperature and very soluble in water. Glucose (C6H12O6) is the most important
of the monosaccharides It is found in the free state in the plant and animal tissue. It is the
major carbohydrates of the body and it is carried by the bloodstream to all parts of the
body. It is sometimes known as blood sugar because it is most abundant carbohydrates
in the blood found in urine of those who have diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes). Another
common monosaccharide is the fructose.

Figure 2. Structure of Glucose and Fructose

Some examples include, honey, dried fruits such as apples, dates and sultanas.
Canned fruits such as pineapple, strawberry and plum, fresh fruits including grapes, apples,
pear, kiwi & banana.

B. Disaccharides are carbohydrates that yield two monosaccharide molecules upon

hydrolysis. The three disaccharides that are separately important from the biological point
of view are sucrose, lactose, and maltose. This provides quick source of energy,
because they’re only made up of two sugar molecules, they’re easily broken down by
enzymes in your digestive system into their monosaccharides and then absorbed into their
bloodstream.
Some examples include, sugar cane and sugar beet, table sugar, manufactured foods,
such as cakes, cookies, and dark chocolate, sweet root vegetables such as beetroot and
carrots.

1. Sucrose (C12H12O11), glucose + fructose -commonly known as table sugar in the free state
throughout the plant kingdom. Good sources of sucrose are sugar cane, sugar beets,
maple syrup and sorghum.

2. Lactose (C12H12O11), glucose + galactose-or milk sugar is found in nature mainly in the
milk of mammals. Human milk contains about 6.7% lactose and cow’s milk contains about
4.5% of the same.

3. Maltose, glucose + glucose-is found much

less commonly in nature than either
sucrose or lactose. It is found in sprouting
grains.

C. Polysaccharides are also called complex carbohydrates and can be hydrolyzed into
many monosaccharide units’, examples, vegetables, fruit, nuts, cereal bran.
Polysaccharides are complex biomacromolecules that are made up chains
of monosaccharides. The bonds that form these chains are glycosidic bonds. Commonly
found monomer units in polysaccharides are glucose, fructose, mannose and galactose which
are simple sugars. Polysaccharides are complex biomacromolecules that are made up chains
of monosaccharides. The bonds that form these chains are glycosidic bonds. Commonly
found monomer units in polysaccharides are glucose, fructose, mannose and galactose which
are simple sugars. Three of the most important polysaccharides are starch, cellulose and
glycogen.

1. Starch is a polymer of glucose. It is found mainly in the seeds, roots and tubes of
plants. The chief sources of starch are corn, potatoes, rice, and cassava whose
uses are for foods.

Image Source: https://www.toppr.com/guides/biology/biomolecules/polysaccharides/

Figure 6. Structure of Starch

2. Cellulose, like starch, is also a polymer of glucose. It differs from starch in a way
the cyclic glucose unit are linked together to form chains. It is the chief structural
components of plants and woods. Cotton fibers are almost pure cellulose. After
removal of moisture, these fibers consist of about 50% cellulose. It is also used for
making rayon fibers, photographic fil and cellophane. It is an important source of
bulk in the diet.

Figure 7: Structure of Cellulose

3. Glycogen is the reserve carbohydrates of the animal kingdom and it is often called
animal starch. It is formed in the body by polymerization of glucose and stored,

WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module Science 10 6

 especially, in the liver and muscle tissue. When the body needs it, glycogen is
converted back to glucose, which is ultimately oxidized to carbon dioxide and water
with the release of energy. Glycogen In humans, glycogen is made and stored
primarily in the cells of the liver and the muscles hydrated with three or four parts
of water. Glycogen functions as the secondary long-term energy storage, with the
primary energy stores being fats held in adipose tissue. The energy is used by the
body for maintenance, growth, and other normal functions.

Lesson Lipids, Proteins and Nucleic

2 Acids

What is It

In the previous lesson, you have learned that carbohydrates are important in providing
“instant” energy for cells. In this lesson, we will learn other classes of biomolecules called
lipids, proteins and nucleic acids.

A. LIPIDS

Organic compounds that contain hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms, which form the
framework for the structure and function of living cells. They are made from monomers
(building blocks) called “fatty acids”. These are nonpolar molecules, which are soluble only
in nonpolar solvents and insoluble in water because water is a polar molecule.

Foods rich in lipids

In the human body, these molecules can be synthesized in the liver and are found in
oil, avocado, salmon, butter, whole milk, cheese, fried foods and also nuts and seeds .

WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module Science 10 8

 Image Source: https://www.nutrientsreview.com/lipids/fats.html

Structure
Lipids are the polymers of fatty acids that contain a long, non-polar hydrocarbon chain
with a small polar region containing oxygen. Fatty acids are carboxylic acids (or organic
acid), usually with long aliphatic tails (long chains), either unsaturated or saturated.

Lipid Structure – Saturated and Unsaturated Fatty Acids

Source: https://byjus.com/biology/lipids/

• Saturated fatty acids

Lack of carbon-carbon double bonds indicate that the fatty acid is saturated. The
saturated fatty acids have higher melting points compared to unsaturated acids of
the corresponding size due to their ability to pack their molecules together thus
leading to a straight rod-like shape.

• Unsaturated fatty acids

Unsaturated fatty acid is indicated when a fatty acid has more than one double bond.
Often, naturally occurring fatty acids possess even number of carbon atoms and are
unbranched.

Functions
Lipids are a diverse group of macromolecule that have a wide variety of functions in living
cells. Examples include storing energy, signaling between cells, and forming the cell membrane.
One type of lipid, the triglycerides, is sequestered as fat in adipose cells, which serve as the

WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module Science 10 9

energy-storage depot for organisms and also provide thermal insulation. Some lipids such
as steroid hormones serve as chemical messengers between cells, tissues, and organs, and
others communicate signals between biochemical systems within a single cell.

B. PROTEINS
Proteins are made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur.
The building blocks called “amino acids”. These are found in all living cells and the second
most common molecules found in the human body (after water) and make up about 10% to
20% of the mass of a cell. Proteins are organized at four levels: primary, secondary, tertiary,
and (optional) quaternary. The primary structure is the unique sequence of amino acids.

Of the 20 amino acids found in human protein, only 11 can be synthesized by the body
and 9 have to be supplied by the foods we eat. These 9 amino acids are also called essential
amino acids. Adults only need to obtain eight of them: valine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine,
methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, and tryptophan. The ninth amino acid - histidine - is only
essential for infants.

Your body does not store amino acids, so it needs a regular daily supply of these
essential building blocks. Nonessential is a slightly misleading label because these amino
acids actually fill essential roles, but since they’re synthesized by your body, they’re not an
essential part of your diet. Of the 11 nonessential amino acids, eight are called conditional
amino acids. When you are sick or under significant stress, your body may not be able to
produce enough of these amino acids to meet your needs. The list of conditional amino acids
includes arginine, glutamine, tyrosine, cysteine, glycine, proline, serine, and ornithine. The
remaining three - alanine, asparagine, and aspartate - are nonessential.

Foods rich in protein

Structure

Amino acids are organic molecules that contain two functional groups: a basic NH 2
amino group and an acidic- COOH carboxylic acid group.

Figure 1. Structure of amino acid

WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module Science 10 10

 When two amino acids react with each other in an acid-base reaction, a peptide is
formed. The basic amino group of one amino acid reacts with the acidic carboxylic group of
another amino acid, forming the peptide, and a molecule of water is lost. This reaction shown
above is classified as a condensation reaction because the two amino acid molecules join
together, and water is formed. The bond formed is called a peptide bond, and the product is a
dipeptide because it is made up of two amino acid units. Longer chains are called polypeptides
and chains of 50 or more amino acids are called proteins. (See Figure 2)

C. NUCLEIC ACIDS

These are molecules that code for hereditary traits by controlling the production of
protein. Like proteins, nucleic acids are long chain of polymers consisting of simpler units or
monomers. There are two kinds of nucleic acids: DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid; and RNA, or
ribonucleic acid.

Below is a summary of the differences between the two kinds of nucleic acids:

Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA )

Foods High in Nucleic Acid

Many won't have even heard of nucleic acids, and even fewer will know how beneficial
to the body's overall function they can be. However, when integrated into the diet effectively,
nucleic acid foods can provide numerous valuable advantages. Sources of nucleic acids can
be found in foods such as seafood, nuts, vegetables, mushrooms, yeast and meat.

Structure

The monomers of nucleic acids are “nucleotides”. They are made up of three parts:
a five-carbon sugar (pentose), a phosphate group, and a ring-shaped base containing nitrogen.

In this model, the sphere represents a phosphate group, the pentagon represents a
five–carbon sugar (pentose) and the rectangle represents a nitrogen-containing base.

Functions

Nucleic acid is an important class of biomolecules found in all cells and viruses. The
functions of nucleic acids have to do with the storage and expression of genetic information.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) encodes the information the cell needs to make proteins. A
related type of nucleic acid, called ribonucleic acid (RNA), comes in different molecular forms
that participate in protein synthesis. They aid with gut repair, they encourage cellular growth,
and they strengthen the immune system.

Directions: Read the given articles/situations and then answer the given question.

WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module Science 10 13

Article 1.
Runners training for the athletes of Ilocos Region Athletic Association are likely gulping
down carbohydrates before the big race in hopes of improving their performance and
endurance.
And Jay is one of the trained athletes that is why he knows what he is doing. He learned
that carbohydrates are sugar-based molecules, and the body can use some of them to
produce glucose. Glucose becomes stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen, molecules
that function as long-term energy storage that can be tapped into when needed (such as
during a lengthy run).
The amount of carbohydrates consumed corresponds with how much glycogen is
stored in the body. Translation for marathoners: Stock up on the carbs so you can make it to
the finish line.

Q1: Why do you think marathon runners eat a meal rich in carbohydrates the day
before a race?
YOUR CLAIM:

Cite from the article two evidence that support your claim
EVIDENCE 1:

EVIDENCE 2:

Explain how your evidence support your claim.

REASONING:

Article 2.
Aside from Jay is an athlete, he is also an active student in his class. At home he
accidentally mixed oil and water. Then he observed that they do not mix and separate in to
two distinct layers. He was late in his Chemistry class the following morning, but he was able
to catch up the discussion of his teacher on lipids. His teacher explained that oil and water do
not mix because they do not have the same polarity. Water molecules are polar molecules.
That means one end of the molecule has a positive charge and the other end has a negative
charge. This allows water molecules to bond together. Oil molecules, on the other hand, are
non-polar. And non-polar molecules only mix well with other non-polar molecules. Thus, the
molecules of oil and water are not able to bond.

Q2: Why oil and water do not mix?

YOUR CLAIM:

Cite from the article two evidence that support your claim
EVIDENCE 1:

EVIDENCE 2:

Explain how your evidence support your claim.

WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module Science 10 14

 REASONING:

Article 3.
The science teacher of Jay continues discussing the different types of biomolecules,
and she is now talking about proteins. After the discussion on proteins, Jay was amazed at
how diverse this group is and the myriad of functions they possess that are very important to
all living things.
One of he appreciated about their lesson is the importance of protein. He learned that
one type of protein is enzyme which is known as biological catalysts. And known to its amazing
action particularly during digestion process. These molecules speed up biochemical reactions
without themselves being used up in the process. They are also highly specific. That is, they
act only on certain molecules called substrates (reactants), while leaving the rest of the system
unaffected. The role of an enzyme can be compared to a lock and a key. The lock will not
open unless you use the right key. In the same manner an enzyme works for a specific
substrate like the enzyme lactase. Its role is to breakdown the sugar lactose into glucose and
galactose. You must appreciate the role of enzymes in the body. Without them, chemical
reactions in the body may be too slow to occur at normal condition and may affect the normal
functioning of the different systems of the body.
Generally, your body needs protein to stay healthy and work the way it should. It is also a
critical part of the processes that fuel your energy and carry oxygen throughout your body in your
blood. It also helps make antibodies that fight off infections and illnesses and helps keep cells
healthy and create new ones.

Q3: What is the importance of proteins in our body?

YOUR CLAIM:

Cite from the article two evidence that support your claim
EVIDENCE 1:

EVIDENCE 2:

Explain how your evidence support your claim.

REASONING:

Article 4.

Jay wonders why siblings resemble each other, or how a mother and her daughters
look alike. But he discovered the answer as he explores their next lesson. Children inherit
pairs of genes from their parents. A child gets one set of genes from the father and one set
from the mother. These genes can match up in many ways to make different combinations.
This is why many family members look a lot alike and others don’t look like each other at all.
Genes can also increase the risk in a family for getting certain health conditions. Families also
share habits, diet, and environment. These influence how healthy we are later in life. Nucleic
acids are the main information-carrying molecules of the cell, and, by directing the process

WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module Science 10 15

of protein synthesis, they determine the inherited characteristics of every living thing. Today,
scientists know that the source code for cells is quite literally written in nucleic acids. Thus,
Jay learned that he shares a lot with his family—including what can make him sick or diseases
may have.
