Proteins
 Are made up of long chains of AMINO ACIDS
Carbohydrates
 Are made up of long chains of MONOSACCHARIDES
(GLUCOSE)
Sugars
Starches
Monosaccharides are SIMPLE carbohydrates while
adding more monosaccharides to the chain makes
COMPLEX carbohydrates

Nucleic Acids (RNA, DNA)
are important for hereditary information passed
from parent to child. (examples: eye color, hair
color, body shape, etc.)
LIPIDS
include fats, waxes and oils
FATS- ALSO KNOWN AS
TRIGLYCERIDES ARE MADE UP OF 3
FATTY ACIDS AND GLYCEROL
FATS HAVE THE MOST ENERGY IN
THEM
