Hello,

My name is Carbla. I am going to tell you 

what I eat during the day so I can stay 

energized. For breakfast, I have cereal, which 

is a carbohydrate, to help wake me up and 

give me energy. I put strawberries and 

blueberries on top to start my day with 

monosaccharides, or the simplest kind of 

sugar. I add milk which is a disaccharide (2 

linked sugar molecules). After I finish my 

cereal I eat a pear to get my polysaccharides 

in, or a series of connected monosaccharides. 

Pears have cellulose in them which gives it 

the hard textures on the outside making it 

strong.

Hello,

My name is Lipida. I eat foods that are have 

fat in them so I can store energy to use later 

on. For lunch, my dad cooks my food in 

coconut oil, which is a fatty acid. Glycerol is 

the basis of all fats. My dad said fatty acids are 

the building blocks of the fat in our bodies. 

Coconut oil has a high amount of saturated 

fat, or fats with no double bonds. He cooks 

salmon in the coconut oil. Salmon gives me a 

large amount of unsaturated fat, which is 

healthier and has double bonds. I do not get 

cookies very much because they are high in 

trans fats, which are bad, but I got one today!

Hello,

My name is ProteiNathan. For dinner I had lentils and 

chicken to give me protein. Protein builds, maintains, 

and replaces the tissues my your body. When my 

stomach digests the protein it breaks it down into 

amino acids, also called monomers. Amino acids are 

monomers that make polymers which make up 

proteins. The protein from the chicken and lentils will 

allow things to transport across my cell membranes, 

structure enzymes, and regulate hormone production.

Hello,

My name is NickleicAcid. I have the building 

blocks of life within me: Nucleic acids! DNA is a 

type of nucleic acid that stores all of the genetic 

information that is in my cells. My DNA passes 

my genetic instructions to RNA to allow my 

metabolic or energy creating activities to know 

what to do. DNA is made up of four different 

types of nucleotides, or the pattern of the DNA. 

Nucleic acids are very important to living 

organisms!

Hello,

My name is Vitamindy. I make sure I get in enough 

vitamins and minerals throughout the day so I can 

boost my immune system, support normal growth and 

development, and help cells and organs do their jobs. 

Vitamins are organic molecules, meaning they come 

from plants or animals. My friend Mineral Mike makes 

sure he gets enough vitamins and minerals so he can 

also be healthy. We both eat lots of fruits and 

vegetables to stay healthy. Vitamins A,C,D,E, B12, B6, 

B1, B3, B2, and Folate are very important to our 

health. Some macrominerals needed everyday are 

sodium, chloride, calcium, and phosphorus. Minerals 

are inorganic molecules andcome from the soil and 

water.Along with vitamins and minerals, we drink 8 

cups   of water everyday to stay hydrated.
