The document discusses the four main classes of large biological molecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. It focuses on carbohydrates and lipids. Carbohydrates include sugars (monosaccharides) and their polymers (polysaccharides), which serve roles in energy storage and structure. The key polysaccharides are starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin. Lipids do not form polymers and include fats, phospholipids, and steroids. Fats are made of glycerol and fatty acids, and can be saturated or unsaturated depending on the number and positions of double bonds in the fatty acids.
