  Small Molecular Weight Organic Compounds in Living Tissues (NEET Biology Notes) Biomolecules in Living Tissues: Complete NEET study chart covering carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids, nucleotides, DNA and RNA. Chapter: Biomolecules -Dr.Sanjaykumar Pawar  Introduction Living organisms are made up of different types of organic molecules . These molecules are called biomolecules because they are essential for life. The four major groups of biomolecules are: Carbohydrates (Sugars) Proteins (Amino acids) Lipids (Fats and Oils) Nucleic Acids (DNA & RNA building blocks) These molecules perform different functions such as providing energy, building body tissues, storing food, and carrying genetic information. 1. Carbohydrates (Sugars) What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are the main source of energy in living organisms. They are made up of three elements: Carbon (C) Hydrogen (H) Oxygen (O) General formula: (CH₂O)ₙ Examples shown in the figure (A) Glucose Molecular Formula: C₆...

  Easy NEET Notes – Biomolecules Types   CBSE Class 11 Biomolecules: Amino acids, lipids, and nucleic acids explained with clear diagrams for easy exam preparation. - Dr.Sanjaykumar Pawar  1. Proteinaceous Amino Acids What is an Amino Acid? Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins . Every amino acid contains: Amino group (–NH₂) Carboxyl group (–COOH) Hydrogen atom (H) R group (Side chain) → makes each amino acid different. R Group (Side Chain) The R group decides the type and properties of an amino acid. Examples: Glycine (Gly) → R = Hydrogen (H) → Simplest amino acid. Alanine (Ala) → R = Methyl group (–CH₃). Serine (Ser) → R = Hydroxymethyl group (–CH₂OH). NEET Tip: R group is responsible for the unique nature of every amino acid. Types of Amino Acids (Based on Amino & Carboxyl Groups) 1. Acidic Amino Acids Have more carboxyl (–COOH) groups than amino groups. Carry a negative charge. Example: Glutamic acid. Easy T...
