| Carbohydrate | An organic compound that has monosaccharides as subunits. Examples: Starch and Sugar |
| Monosaccharide | A simple sugar Ex. Fructose or glucose |
| Disaccharide | Two monosaccharides attached together. Another type of simple sugar. Examples: Sucrose and Lactose |
| Polysaccharide | A long chain of monosaccharides that are bonded together. Example: Glycogen, Starch,Chitin and Cellulose |
| Lipids | An organic compound that has fatty acids as its subunits. Examples: Triglyceride, Phospholipid, and Steroids |
| Saturated Fatty Acids | Fatty acid that has its carbons bonded to as many hydrogens as possible. |
| Unsaturated Fatty Acids | Fatty acid that does not have its carbon bonded to as many hydrogens as possible. (Bent Shape) |
| Function of Lipids | Stores Enegy, Forms cell membranes and carries messages around the cell. |
| Function of Carbohydrates | Stores energy, Provides energy to cells (glucose), Forms cell structures |
| Subunits of Lipids | Fatty Acids |
| Subunits of Carbohydrates | Monosaccharides |
| Triglyceride | A type of lipid that stores energy. Three fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule |
| Phospholipid | A type of lipid that makes up cell membranes. Made from two fatty acids attached to a phosphate head. |
| Steriod | A type of lipid that carries messages around the cell. |
| Complex Carbhydrates | Polysaccharides that store energy and form structures in the cell |
| Simple Carbohydrates | Monosaccharides and disaccharides that are used by cells for energy. |
