Summary of Main Ideas and Concepts

Video Title: CARBOIDRATOS E LIPÍDOS: PRA QUE SERVEM? | QUER QUE DESENHE

The video provides an overview of Carbohydrates and Lipids, which are essential organic molecules for life.
It emphasizes the importance of these molecules as foundational knowledge in biology, relevant for understanding other biological topics.

Definition: Organic molecules also known as sugars or glycides, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
Functions:
- Energy Source: Provides energy for cellular activities.
- Structural Role: Contributes to the structure of cells and organisms.
- Cellular Communication: Involved in signaling processes between cells.
Classification:
- Monosaccharides: Single sugar units (e.g., Ribose, deoxyribose, Glucose, fructose, galactose).
- Oligosaccharides: Composed of 2 to 20 monosaccharides (e.g., sucrose, maltose, galactose).
- Polysaccharides: Composed of more than 20 monosaccharides, serving structural (e.g., cellulose, chitin) and energy storage functions (e.g., starch in plants, glycogen in animals).

Definition: Organic molecules made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, characterized as nonpolar (hydrophobic).
Functions:
- Energy Storage: Acts as a reserve of energy.
- Structural Role: Forms cell membranes and provides structure.
- Thermal Insulation: Helps maintain body temperature.
- Hormonal Functions: Involved in the production of hormones.
- Waterproofing: Protects against water loss.
Classification:
- Glycerides: Includes oils and fats.
- Cerides: Waxes.
- Sociolipids: Components of plasma membranes.
- Steroids: Includes sex hormones (e.g., testosterone, progesterone, estrogen) and Cholesterol, which is categorized into:
  - Good Cholesterol (HDL)
  - Bad Cholesterol (LDL)
