2. contains the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen
3. one type is called a polysaccharide.
4. group contains fats and oils
5. the function is energy and structure.
6. dna and rna are examples
7. chicken and nuts have high amounts
8. made of monomers called nucleotides
9. can be saturated or unsaturated
10. contains the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
11. functions include enzymes, muscle contraction, and cell transport (has many others too)
12. glucose is an example.
13. the monomer consists of a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.
14. made of monomers called monosaccharides
15. insulin is an example.
16. contains the elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and phosphorus
17. the function is energy storage, body insulation, and make up cell membranes.
18. starch and cellulose are examples
19. these are all hydrophobic.
20. candies and pasta would have high amounts.
