  1. Carbohydrates
    1. Supply the energy in cells
      1. Made from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
        1. Potatoes, wheat and rice are starchy foods
          1. Storage of carbohydrates in animals is glycogen
            1. Cellulose is carbohydrate storage for plants in the cell wall
              1. Glucose is the the sugar for animals
                1. Is needed for energy
                  1. Tests of glucose
                    1. 1) Add Benedicts solution to glucose
                      1. 2) Put test tube in boiling water
                        1. 3) if glucose present will turn green --> yellow --> orange
                        2. Testing for starch
                          1. 1) Put starch solution into a test tube
                            1. 2) Add iodine
                              1. 3) If starch present will turn from blue --> black
                            2. Lipids
                              1. Contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
