Q Background #H Layout - Theme What evidence is there that the macromolecules that make up our body come from smaller compounds in the food that we eat? Last edit was Transition *** A healthy diet includes protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Why? Because these compounds are three of the main building blocks that make up your body. You obtain these building blocks from the food that you eat, and you use these building blocks to make the organic compounds necessary for life. The main chemical components of living organisms are known as organic compounds. Organic compounds are molecules built around the element carbon (C). Living things are made up of very large molecules. These large molecules are called macromolecules because "macro" means large; they are 6 ||||||| made by smaller molecules bonding together. Our body gets these smaller molecules, the "building blocks" of organic molecules from the food we eat. The four main types of macromolecules found in living organisms, shown in the table below, are: 1. Proteins. 2. Carbohydrates. 3. Lipids. 4. Nucleic Acids.
