5880327737	types of bio-molecules (4)	carbohydrates lipids proteins nucleic acid	2
5880334254	structure of bio-molecules	another word for bio-molecules is polymers, polymers are made up smaller parts called monomers	3
5880344684	Carbohydrates	major source of energy and includes sugar and starches *made up of carbon hydrogen and oxygen; with a 2;1 ratio to hydrogen to oxygen plants and animals use carbohydrates for maintaining structure within cells	4
5880402674	proteins	nitrogen containing compounds MADE UP OF CHAINS OF AMINO ACIDS 20 amino acids can combine to form a great variety of protein molecules can compose ENZYMES HORMONES ANTIBODIES AND STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS	5
5880403246	lipids	water insoluble (fats and oils) made up of carbon hydrogen and oxygen; composed of GLYCEROL and FATTY ACIDS provide insulation STORES ENERGY cushion internal organs	6
