Break apart covalent bond holding together two monomers. For every one carbon, have two hydrogens and one oxygen ** Know that of three types, glucose is most important. Glucose levels depend on liver action: important part of homeostasis is liver action on manipulating blood glucose levels. No animal can chemically break it down. Less oxygen than carbs less oxidized: more energy per bond. Carboxyl group on one end, methyl group on other. Essential fatty acids: have to obtain from diet, bodies cannot make them. Nonpolar on one end, polar on other end. Main storage fat found in adipose tissue. Three fatty acids coming together with glycerol (alcohol) ** Each bond is put together by condensation reaction. Once fatty acid is bound with glycerol, can"t give off protons.
