• oils - lipids that are liquid at room temperature
• proteins - are made up of repeating units of amino acids.
• protein - component of the muscles and all other tissues
• enzymes - control the rate of chemical reactions inside

  the cell
• nucleic acids - are carriers of hereditary information in living organisms.
• vitamins - are substances necessary in very small amount for body growth and activity
• monosaccharides - simple sugars such as glucose
• disaccharide - two monosaccharides joined together by condensation reaction
• polysaccharide - many monosaccharides joined together by condensation reaction
