Bio molecules that are necessary for the cells regular activities are mainly four types.
00:09
First type is the carbohydrates, which are energy -rich compounds, carbohydrate, which are hydrates of carbon.
00:20
Example is glucose.
00:22
So the monomer, the polymeric units, polymer is either a glycogen in here.
00:30
Human body or animal body it could be starch but a monomeric unit which makes up this polymer will be very simple like glucose or galactose etc so the main function of carbohydrate is to provide energy so this is the primary primary energy source so whenever our body needs energy.
01:00
The first compound that is broken down will be the carbohydrate.
01:05
Second molecule is protein.
01:08
Proteins, the polymer is the protein.
01:12
So there are many types of protein.
01:14
If we take example, immunoglobulin proteins, which are antibodies, basically immunoglobulin.
01:23
And in them, the monomeric unit, monomer, will be amino acid.
01:30
Amino acids and as their function goes they are mainly called as building blocks of the body building blocks because they build up all the major structures so they are part of the structural component in our body cell membrane or a plasma membrane they are enzymes so they are catalytic in nature enzymes they are functional like immunoglobulin they provide immunity so so all the functional activity happens in by proteins.
02:04
So if we need energy, we can't break down proteins because they are the building blocks...
