Carbohydrates • Disaccharide ex. sucrose • Subunits: Sugar, Starch • Use: Energy • Examples: glucose, sucrose
Lipids • Subunits: Fatty Acids • Use: Energy, cell structure • Chain length: ranges from 12 to 24, always with an even number of carbons. • Saturated:NO double bonds • ex. Butter, cheese • Unsaturated: One or more double bonds • Ex. Nuts, avacado
Proteins Subunits: Amino acids (ex. Leucine) Uses: Structure, enzymes Examples: Meat, fish
Nucleic Acid Subunits: nucleotides Examples: DNA, RNA adenine thymine
