You will be introduce to the macromolecules and their monomers;
1) Carbohydrates ( Polysaccharides) - monomers glucose
2) Proteins - monomers amino acids
3) Lipids - monomers fatty acids and glycerol
4) Nucleic acids - monomers nucleotides.
Starch, glycogen and cellulose are also examples of polysaccharides. Excess glucose is stored in plants as starch, and in animal tissue as glycogen. The cell wall of plants called cellulose are made of glucose.
