Cell Biology
                        Four types of organic molecules
                               -Proteins
                               -Carbohydrates
                               -Lipids
                               -Nucleic acid

Organic Molecule          Polymer              Monomer                 Foods               Function

Protein                            Proteins or            Amino acid            Meat, beans,         Movement
                                      Polypeptide                                           milk, eggs         Structure, energy

Carbohydrates               Polysccaride       Simple sugar or      Rice, potatoes, grains        Energy
                                        -Starch              monosaccaride       pasta, cereals, plants

Lipids                     Triglyceride, waxes,      Fatty Acids            Junk food             Insulation, storage,
                             Cholesterol, hormones                                                            padding, boyancy
