• lipids and nucleic acids

• lipids and carbohydrates

• lipids and proteins

Lipids:

• are a source of immediate energy.

• build cellular structures like organelles

• are a source of long-term energy

• are enzymes that control chemical reactions

Amino acids

• are the monomers for lipids

• are the monomers for proteins

• are the monomers for carbohydrates

• are the same thing as monosaccharides

The term monomer means:

• One molecule

• Two molecules

• Many molecule

• Simple sugar
