- All of these are **simple sugars**.

**Carbohydrates: Disaccharides**
- Two **monosaccharides** bonded together.
- Example of a disaccharide:
- **Sucrose**: glucose + fructose
- Sucrose is commonly known as **table sugar**.

**Carbohydrates: Polysaccharides**

**Lipids**
- Examples: **Fats** and **oils**.
- Organic molecules that do not **dissolve** or break apart in water.
- Found as fats in **animals** and oil in **plants**.
- Store energy from excess food and **provide insulation** and waterproof organisms.
- Many lipids are formed from a combination of one glycerol molecule and three **fatty acid** molecules.
- Consist of C, H, and O.
- Saturated - if each carbon atom in the fatty acid chains is joined to another carbon by a **single bond**.
- Unsaturated - if there is at least one **double bond** between carbon atoms.

**Lipids: Phospholipid Bilayer**
- **Phospholipids** are a key part of plasma membranes, making them **selectively permeable**.
- Sketch a phospholipid:
- (Sketch should depict a glycerol backbone, two fatty acid tails, and a phosphate group)
- **Hydrophobic molecules** can pass directly through the lipid bilayer.
- Hydrophobic means “water fearing.”
- **Hydrophilic molecules** must pass by other means.
- Hydrophilic means “water loving.”

**Proteins**
- Organic molecules composed of many atoms of **C**, **H**, **O**, and **N**.
- Made of building blocks called **amino acids**.
- Amino acid - **a molecule whose structure contains at least one amino group (–NH2) and one carboxyl group (-COOH)**.
