Functional Groups  

Carbohydrates - A number of hydroxyl groups and a carbonyl group

 Lipids - 3 fatty acids are linked to a glycerol

through dehydration synthesis 

1. Glycerol (an alcohol) – 3 carbons each containing a hydroxyl group

2. Fatty acid – carboxyl group and a hydrocarbon chain with ~ 15 other carbon atoms

 Amino Acid – (building blocks for proteins)

Carboxyl group and Amino Group  Nucleic Acids (DNA, RNA) - phosphate group
