# data[].attributes.body
Function/Role:
1. They are the structural components of cell membranes.

2. Store energy.

3. Function as important signaling molecules.

Structure:
Composed of a glycerol molecule bonded to long hydrocarbon chain(s).

Shape/Chemical Composition:
A molecular shape that resembles a truncated (w/out its top/end) cone.

Examples:
Monomers: glycerol & fatty acids
Polymers: triglycerides & diglycerides

# data[].attributes.body
Function/Role: The functions of nucleic acids have to do with the storage and expression of genetic information.  DNA encodes the information the cell needs to make proteins.

Structure: Nucleic acids are long chainlike molecules composed of a series of nearly identical building blocks

Examples of types

(Monomers and polymers):
Monomer - Nucleotides
Polymer -  Chains of nucleotides

Shape/Chemical Composition: (Pictures below)

# data[].attributes.body
Function/Role: The functions of nucleic acids is to store genetic information and pass it on to the next generation.

Structure: Chainlike molecules that are made of nucleotides.(basic structural unit of Nucleic Acids)

Examples of types (Monomers and Polymers:
Monomer- nucleotides
Polymer- DNA and RNA

Shape/ Chemical Composition:

# data[].attributes.body
Function/Role: Store and provide energy, build macromolecules, and spare protein and fat for other uses. Breaks carbs down into glucose.

Structure: (CH2O)n

organic compounds in the form of aldehydes or ketones w/ hydroxyl groups coming off the carbon chain.

Shape/Chemical Composition: Molecules made of carbon, hydrogen, & oxygen in a ratio of roughly one carbon atom (C)

to one water molecule (H20)

Monomers and Polymers Ex:
Monomers: simple sugars (monosaccharides) make up carbs. Ex: Glucose.

Polymers: starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin.

# data[].attributes.body

Structure: (CH2O)n; organic compounds organized in the form of aldehydes or ketones with multiple hydroxyl groups coming off the carbon chain.

Shape/Chemical composition:Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, or Hydrocarbon.

Examples of types
(Monomers and polymers):Glucose (Monomers), fructose, starch (polymers), cellulose.
