- - - - phospholipids are triglycerides in which one fatty acid is replaced by a polar phosphate group.
      - waxes are lipids formed by combining a fatty acid with a long-chain alcohol.
      - triglycerides are formed when three fatty acids are bonded to a glycerol backbone.
      - steroids are lipids that have multiple cyclic rings in their structures.
- - - - Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides are bonded together.
      - Polysaccharides are polymers of simple sugars made up of 12 or more monomers.
