Carbohydrates
monosaccharides
1 type of monomer (e.g. glucose, ribose, fructose)

polysaccharides
many monomers (e.g. cellulose, starch, glycerin)
-
Lipids
a broad category of molecules, including steroids, fats, fatty acids, triglycerides
Triglycerides

-
-
uses
energy store, which this energy being released through aerobic respiration
not proper heat conductors, used as insulators
Functions
-
-
buoyancy: lipids are less dense than water, they help animals to float

Energy Storage
Carbohydrates
-
-
insoluble in water, no problem with osmosis
Lipids
-
-
soluble in water, easy to transport
