2. ____________ steroid
3. ____________ glycogen
4. ____________ cellulose
5. ____________ dna
6. ____________ monosaccharide
7. ____________ glucose
8. ____________ rna
9. ____________ polysaccharide
10. ____________ glycogen
11. ____________ starch
12. ____________ phospholipid

Explanation:

• Saturated fat: Found in both animals (e.g., butter) and plants (e.g., coconut oil).
• Steroid: Present in both, like cholesterol in animals and plant - derived steroids.
• Glycogen: Mainly an animal storage polysaccharide.
• Cellulose: A major component of plant cell walls, not in animals.
• DNA: Genetic material in both animals and plants.
• Monosaccharide: Basic sugar unit found in both.
• Glucose: A monosaccharide present in both.
• RNA: Genetic - related molecule in both.
• Polysaccharide: General term, starch in plants and glycogen in animals.
• Starch: Plant storage polysaccharide.
• Phospholipid: Found in cell membranes of both animals and plants.
