Day 7-Macromolecules

Today we went over macromolecules. We learned about polysaccharides which are long strands of sugar, which are both storage products and structural products. We learned that lipids are fats or oils that store energy. We learned about sucrose which plants use for circulating fuel and lactose which is found in dairy products and gives them their sweet taste. We learned about starch which is used in plants to make sugars and can also store a lot of energy in a small place. We also learned about nucleic acid structures which consist of DNA, RNA and ATP.
