MACROMOLECULES

Nucleic Acids
Asthma is caused by the slight mutation of DNA and RNA. It is also genetic, so the reason why I have asthma could be from one of parent's sides, since they both do not have asthma. Unfortunately, there is no cure for asthma so one of the few ways it can be eliminated is to outgrow it.

Lipids
This week, on monday and Tuesday, I played basketball. As we ran our drills, I began to sweat. The sweat contained lipid substances and helped cool my body down. The practice became easier near the end, so by the time practiced finished, all of it dried off or absorbed into my shirt. My dad always tells me to change shirts since sweat drying can get me sick, so when I forgot to, he got pretty mad at me and lectured me about after telling me a ton of times. THe next day, I started coughing and got a little under the weather.


Proteins
So this weekend, my mom is making me get a haircut, shich I do not like,  but has to be done. It is usually itchy after getting my hair cut especially when I cannot go back home to take a bath and wash all the loose hairs out. So I will be cutting off a large amount of the proteins on my head so that it is not long and then after a few weeks it will grow back.


Carbohydrates
Every night for dinner, I always eat rice and then some sort of side dish. A few months ago, my mom swithced from white rice to brown rice because it was healthier, but it doesn't taste as good as white rice. We do not eat all brown rice, but a mix of white and brown, and then eventually we will switch from a mix to all brown rice.
