This type of fat is typically from plant sources, and is liquid at room temperature.

This category of macromolecules functions primarily as a quick energy source.

The term 'INSOLUBLE' means that a fat will not do what?

Group of molecules with long chains of simple sugars includes starches. glycogen, and cellulose

This blood protein is responsible for carrying oxygen on the red blood cells

What type of bonds hold amino acids together in a protein?

This class of proteins act as chemical "messengers" between different parts of the body.
