• Carbon - C
• Hydrogen - H
• Oxygen - O
Building Blocks of Carbohydrates
• Monosaccharide
• Disaccharide
• Polysaccharide
Uses for Carbohydrates
• Provide energy to living organisms
Names of example carbohydrates

• Oxygen - O
Building Blocks and Structure of
Lipids
• Fatty acids
Fatty acid
Fatty acid
• a. saturated
• b. unsaturated
Fatty acid
Lipid Structure
Triglycerides – 3 fatty acids + 1 glycerol
a. saturated
b. unsaturated
Phospholipids – 2 fatty acids + 1 glycerol
Wax – long fatty acid chain + long alcohol
chain
Steroids
• Made of 4 fused carbon rings instead of
fatty acids
a. have various attached functional groups
Uses for Lipids within organisms
• DO NOT DISSOLVE IN H2O (hydrophobic
and insoluble)
• Protection, insulation, energy storage
Names of example Lipids
