Polymers break
Into monomers by hydrolysis
Macromolecules
Polymer
Polymers and monomers
Link together into dehydration synthesis
Hydrophobic
Not attracted to water
Hydrophobic is surrounded
By a bilayer of phospholipids
Plasma membrane includes
2 fatty acids and a phosphate group
Plasma membrane has a

Glycogen is
In the human body and animals
5 functional groups

Lipids are
Non polar, hydrophobic, and forms emulsion
Nucleic acids
Has 3 carbon sugars, carries blueprint, parts of a phosphate group, and nitrogenous base
Monasacharrides
A simple sugar with 3 to 6 carbon atoms
Glucose
Makes ATP
