Biomolecules and Types of Biomolecules

There are Three main types of Bio Molecules and Bio Molecules is any organic Molecules that Produced by living organism.

1. Small Molecules like Lipids, Phospholipids, Glycolipids, Sterols, glycerolipids, Carbohydrates, Sugars, Vitamins, Hormones, Neurotransmitters, and Metabolites

2. Monomers Such as Amino Acids, Nucleotides and Monosaccharide

3. Polymers as Peptides, Oligopeptides, Polypeptides, proteins, Nucleic Acids like DNA and RNA, Oligosaccharides and Polysaccharides, Cellulose, Lignin and Hemoglobin

Enzyme

The nucleus of each of your cells contains multiple long strands of DNA with all the instructions to make your entire body. If you stretched out the DNA found in one of your cells it would be 2 to 3 meters long. To fit all of this DNA inside a tiny cell nucleus the DNA is wrapped tightly around proteins. The enzyme in meat tenderizer is a protease, which is an enzyme that cuts proteins into small pieces. As this enzyme cuts up the proteins the DNA will unwind and separate from the proteins. The protease in meat tenderizer actually comes from plants, but animals also make protease

Detergent

Add a small amount of detergent to a test tube (about 0.25 mL). Put a glove on the hand you will use to hold your test tube not the hand you will use to pour. Now carefully pour the drink containing your cheek cells into the test tube with detergent until the tube is half full.

To get the DNA out of your cheek cells you need to break open both the cell membranes and the nuclear membranes. Cell membranes and nuclear membranes consist primarily of lipids Dish washing detergent like all soaps, breaks up lipids. This is why you use detergents to remove fats from dirty dishes. Adding the detergent to you cheek cell solution will break open the cell membranes and nuclear membranes and release your DNA into the solution
