Structure
Function
(what it looks like)
(what it does)
1. Monosaccharide - building
1. Used for instant energy
blocks for larger carbs
2. Disaccharides - two sugars
2. An energy source
linked together
3. Polysaccharides - three or more
3. Energy storage
sugars linked together
Examples
1. Glucose, Fructose
2. Sucrose, Lactose
3. Glycogen, Starch,
Cellulose
1. Saturated fats - straight,
“saturated with hydrogen”, solid
2. Unsaturated fats - bent shape,
double bonds, liquid
3. Phospholipid - double layer
4. Steroid - cholesterol and
hormones
1. Long term energy storage,
1. Butter, animal fat
insulation, energy source
2. Energy source
2. Oils
3. Makes cell membranes
3. Cell membrane
