3. Lipids
4. Nucleic acid

Question 3

Carbs

Answer 3

• contain C, H, and O
• provides energy storage
• ## monosaccharides- glucose and fructoseDisaccharides- two simple sugars such as maltose or Lactose
  -
  Polysaccharides- Many linked simple sugars such as Glycogen

Answer 7

-polymers of amino acids
- there are 20 amino acids, 9 being assential in your diet
- they are joined together by a peptide bond

Question 8

Nucleic acid

Answer 8

• carry genetic information to make proteins
• subunits are linked into long chains
• contains RNA and DNA

Question 9

Vitamins

Answer 9

• Vitamins are organic, minerals are inorganic, these are not macromolecules

Question 10

Dehydration synthesis

Answer 10

• used to assemble macromolecules
• a covalent bond is formed when an OH from one molecule and the H group from another molecule combine

Question 11

Hydrolysis

Answer 11

Used to disassemble macromolecules
- water is added to break a molecule into two
