• Examples of monosaccharides are ___________, fructose, dextrose, and galactose
Monosaccharides
Disaccharides
• When two monosaccharides bond together through dehydration ___________________ a ___saccharide is formed
• Di = ___• These molecules are used as short term energy storage as well• Must be __________________ into individual monosaccharides to be used
in cellular respiration• Examples: sucrose, lactose, maltose

[MC Types]
Lipids
• Elements: C, H, and O, but with much less ______ than in carbohydrates
• Monomers: ___________ ________ chains– Nonpolar
• Don’t dissolve in water• hydrophobic
• Other molecules:• _________________• _________________ (only in
phospholipids)
Lipid Examples
• __________________ :– 3 chains of fatty acids
bonded to one glycerol– Functions: long-term
energy storage and insulation
– Fat = animal triglycerides• More saturated• Solid at room temp.
– Oils = plant triglycerides• Less saturated• Liquid at room temp

Butter vs. Margarine
Lipid examples• __________________:
– Two fatty acid chains bonded to a glycerol, bonded to a phosphate head
– Head is _____________• Attracted to water
– Tails are _____________• Repel water
– Function: forms cell and organelle membranes
• “phospholipid bilayer” forms when put in aqueous solution

Lipid examples
• Waxes– One fatty acid chain joined to
a long chain of glycerol molecules
– Waterproof and protective outer coverings such as leaves, skin
• Lipid Steroids– Regulation molecules– Ex) cholesterol and steroid
hormones such as testosterone and estrogen

• An ______ group
• A carboxylic ______ group
• A unique ____ group
Proteins
• Polymers = __________________ chains– AA + AA + AA + etc.. = polypeptide– ____________ - the bond formed
between two amino acids as a result of dehydration synthesis
