Organic Molecules

Fats/lipids notice the amount of Hs to Os Notice the presence of C,H, and O and the complexity

Notice the presenc of N, C, and H.

Sugars also have C,H, and O in a 2 to 1 ratio

They can form chains and become large and complex

The simplest carbohydrates are sugar monomers, the monosaccharides; be able to give examples and their functions.
A polysaccharide is a straight or branched chain of hundreds or thousands of sugar monomers, of the same or different kinds; be able to name common polysaccharides and state their function(s) in a cell.
Define lipids and list their functions.
Distinguish a saturated fat from an unsaturated fat.
