Carbohydrates:
Made of sugars or monosaccharides
Glucose is perhaps the most important of the monosaccharides its energy comes
from ____________. Another example is fructose.
Starch provides energy for us.. like that found in bread. The energy is stored in
the form of __________, which is stored in our muscles for short term storage.
Or as ______ for longer term storage. Which brings us to our next biological
molecule, the lipid.
Lipids:
Lipids are polar/ non-polar (circle one) and as a result does not mix with water.
