Nitrogen and Phosphorous
The major function of carbohydrates.
What is short term energy (and structure in some organisms)
Lipids are mostly made of these two elements

Name a major functions of a lipid.
What are long term energy (stored energy), cell membranes, insulation, protection, etc.
The type of reaction that stores energy by "building"
anabolic
When water is pulled out of monomers to join them into polymers
What is dehydration synthesis
Example of a nucleic acid
What is DNA and RNA?
Examples are cellulose, starch and glycogen.
What are polysaccharides?
Are lipids hydro____________ because they are insoluble in water
phobic
