Fatty Acids And Glycerol
Building blocks of fats in organisms; fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains, while glycerol is a three-carbon molecule that binds fatty acids to form triglycerides.
Amino Acids
Organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins, necessary for various bodily functions.
Monosaccharides
Simple sugars that are the most basic form of carbohydrates, consisting of one sugar molecule and serving as the building blocks for more complex sugars.
