Penta's (based on shape of 5)
 
  Penta shapes ( geometrically pentagon) are vital for the development and existence of more complex Hydro-Carbon Biologics.  
  There are essentially two types of Penta's  
 
Close packed  
Loose packed  
 
8.13.1 Close packed Penta's  
  Close packed Penta's are essentially constructed by plants. They are also the basis for our fossil fuels (which are based on decomposed plant based structures).  
  Close packed Penta's cannot be manufactured by animals.  
  However, they are the essential building blocks for a host of important roles including: o nucleic acid (the chemical building blocks of DNA) o neuropeptides o chemical combinations as attachments to amino acid tags (the basis of proteins).  
8.7.2 Loose packed Penta's  
  Loose packed Penta's are essentially the super-simple sugars, which are the second most common organic "levers" used by all animals (next to simple Tri levers used for connecting amino acids). Loose packed Penta's are used for a host of roles, including o the connection of nucleic acids o connecting fatty acids together to form triglycerides (the basis of cell membranes).
