  1. There are 4 Groups of Organic Compounds Found in Living Things: • Carbohydrates • Lipids • Nucleic Acids • Proteins

  2. Carbohydrates Starches & Sugars; They are used as the main source of Energy. Monomer = Monosaccharide

  3. Lipids Fats, Oils, and Waxes. Used to store Energy, found in cell membranes, & serve as chemical messengers. Monomer = fatty acid What are some examples of Lipids???

  4. Proteins Composed of amino acids linked into a chain. Proteins have 4 uses: 1. to form bones and muscle 2. to control rates of rxns 3. to transport substances in & out of the cell 4. they help fight disease. Monomer = amino acid What are some examples of Proteins???

  5. Nucleic Acids What it is:stores & transmits genetic information from 1 generation to the next. Related Words:DNA and RNA What is it like:Family, DNA and RNA (draw picture) Monomer = Nucleotide
