Examples of polysaccharides:

Common polysaccharides include:
Cellulose - forms wood & parts

of plant cell walls.
Starch - energy storage form in plants
Glycogen - short term energy storage form in animals.
Cellulose, starch & glycogen are long chains of glucose units; differ in branching patterns

4. Nucleic Acids Nucleic acids contain C, H, O, N, P.

4. Nucleic Acids

Nucleic acids contain C, H, O, N,

P. Their monomers are nucleotides.
Each nucleotide is composed of:
a 5 carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose)
a phosphate group
a nitrogenous base (guanine, cytosine, thymine, adenine or uracil).
They are DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid and RNA, ribonucleic acid

Pyrimidines (T & C) form hydrogen bonds with purines (A &

G)

Thymine pairs with Adenine, forming 2 hydrogen bonds
Cytosine pairs with Guanine, forming 3 hydrogen bonds
