- Glycerol and Fatty Acids.
- Amino Acids
- Polymers are long chains of monomers fused together by condensation reactions.
- Proteins
- Lipids
- Carbohydrates

- Reducing Sugars
- C H O
- Test for reducing sugars
- 1. make sure the sample is a liquid (naturally or grind it up in water.
- 2. Add an equal amount of Benedict's solution.
- 3. Heat in a water bath.
- 4. Observe colour change.
- None = Blue
- Low = Yellow
- Very Low = Green
- Medium = Red
- High = Red
