20
Q

Lipids

A

used for energy storage and make up our cell membranes

2 classes: simple and compound

21
Q

Simple lipids

A

Contains only Carbons, Hydrogens, and Oxygen
Includes fats and steroids

Can be grouped as Monoglycerides, Diglycerides, and Triglycerides

Saturated or unsaturated

22
Q

Saturated Lipids

A

No double bonds

Solid

23
Q

24
Q

Compound lipids

A

Contains Carbons, Hydrogens, Oxygen, fatty acids, and glycerol

25
Q

DNA

A

Two strands

During replication, the two strands untwist, pull apart, and the old strand becomes part of the new strand

26
