MACROMOLECULESvery large polymers
1. Fatty Acid2. Glycerol
1. Cholesterol2. Wax - protect from bacteria3. Triglyceride - long term energy
storage4. Phospholipid - contribute to cell
membrane protective layer5. Steroids - act as signal for
hormone
Lipids - found in fish, seafood, cheese, steak
1. Monosaccharides (Simple sugar)a. Fructose
b. Glucose →→→→→→→→
1. Polysaccharides: (Complex sugar)2. Glycogen - provide cell with LONG
term energy3. Starch - (complex carb)4. Cellulose - structural part of plant
Carbohydrate - found in bread, pasta, cereal, fruit
1. Nucleotide - Partsa. Sugar Phosphateb. Base
1. RNA - convert information in DNA2. DNA - control center of cell
Nucleic Acid - found in soy milk, soy beans, root vegetables
1. Amino Acids - 20 building block of protein
1. Enzyme - organic molecule that helps break things down
Protein - found in fish, nuts, beans, meats
