Biomolecules

Or biological molecules

Chemical compound found in living organisms, are basic components of life with important functions in them.

What are the biomolecules?

They have a wide range of sizes and structures and can be composed by different elements of the periodic table

How they are useful in day to day life?

They help us every day to realize all our activities like walk, composition of parts of the body even to breathe, but if we want to be more specific:

Proteins

Nucleic acids

Carbohydrates

Lipids

  • Biocatalysts
  • Give mechanical support
  • Resistance in bones, skin, tendon, cartilage
  • Destroy invaders
  • Transport molecules necessary to use and excrete
  • Regulates biological and cellular activity
  • Facilitate the absorption of nutrients
  • Contraction in the muscle
  • Produce and store energy for long-term use "fats"
  • Insulation from the environment
  • They're an important constituent of the plasma membrane.
  • Increase the strength of muscle contraction
  • Autocrine regulators
  • Help cardiovascular health
  • Store and transfer genetic information
  • Determine characteristics and functions of proteins
  • Control cellular activities like cellular reproduction
  • MRNA: copies the sequence of the nitrogenous bases of DNA
  • RRNA: involved in protein synthesis
  • TRNA: transports amino acids
  • Provide energy to the body, particularly through glucose
  • They can give rise to resistant skeletal structures
  • They participate in the functioning of cells, tissues and organs
  • Essential part of our diet

Which is their importance for the medical field?

We can find their importance in differents areas

In the development of tumors

In research

Identification

Effective treatments

Early and accurate diagnosis
