Organic molecule traits
Carbon based
Few elements join together to form molecules
Built from single type of building block(monomer)
Form determines function

Saturated and unsaturated
Form protective layer in animals and plants
Phospholipid
Two fatty acid molecules joined by a molecule of glycerol
Two layers enclose cells
Main source of energy for living things
Carbohydrates
Carry out chemical reactions(enzymes)
