Carbohydrates

Sucrose, Glucose, Fructose, Maltose, and starches.
Quick energy, Structure, and Energy storage.
Monosaccharides
They are able to give quick energy that is burned quickly and in plants uses starch and animals have glycogen.

Lipids

Saturated Fat, Unsaturated fat, oils, steriods, waxes, and phospholipids.
Storage, Organ Cushion, and it Insulates
Triglycerides
Some lipds have double bonds and others dont. All fats have phosphopipids

Nucleic Acid

DNA and RNA
Holds Genetic information.
Nucleotide
Rna is a single nucleotide chain and DNA is a double helix and theya re in every cell and they carry our genetic information.

Proteins

Elements
Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen
Examples
Insulin, Hemoglobin, Elastin, adn Fibrin
Function
Movement, Immune system, Enzyme, and transportation.
Monomer
Amino Acids
Unique Properties
There is a primary structure, a secondary structure, which has a lot of flods and a third layer, and a forth layer which is more then one chain bonded together.
