Molecules of Cells
- Cells contain a variety of molecules, including organic compounds like methane, the simplest organic compound.
- Carbohydrates come in various sizes, from simple sugars (monosaccharides) to complex sugars (polysaccharides).
- The three major categories of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
- Fats, including butter, oil, and margarine, are lipids made of glycerol and fatty acids.
- Triglycerides are fat molecules composed of a glycerol molecule linked to three fatty acids.
- High triglyceride levels in the bloodstream are associated with arteriosclerosis, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
- There are 20 different amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, found in virtually all proteins on Earth.
