7775275580	Fatty Acid Tails	Composed of a carbon backbone, and hydrophobic	1
7775275581	Deoxyribose	The sugar found in DNA	2
7775275584	Lipid	cholesterol, cell membrane, blubber, long term energy storage	3
7775275585	Carbohydrate	makes up the cell wall of a plant and fungus, stores energy in plants as glucose, and stores energy in humans as glycogen	4
7775275586	Polysaccharide	Complex carbohydrate composed of many monosaccharides	5
7775275587	Protein	builds everything about you, including cell parts, hair, skin, and nails. They can even act as a pump in the cell membrane to move substances in and out of the cell!	6
