  10. Glucose Forms a Ring Monosaccharide

  11. Monosaccharide Disaccharide = 2 Sugars • Sucrose • Glucose + Fructose • Lactose • Glucose + Galactose • Maltose • Glucose + Glucose

  12. Monosaccharide Polysaccharide = Many Sugars Starch Glycogen

  15. Lipids • Carbon • Hydrogen • Oxygen • Not in a 1:2:1 ratio as carbohydrates

  16. Lipid Types • Fats and Oils (Neutral Fats) • Store Energy • Phospholipids • Make Up Cell Membrane • Steroids • Regulate Body Processes

  17. TriglycerideMakes Up Fats and Oils • One Glycerol • Three Fatty Acids
