What is the function of carbs?
Energy
This biomolecule is important for long term energy storage and it makes up the cell membrane.
What are lipids?
This macromolecule is important for structure, protection, speeding up chemical reactions and fighting infections.
What are proteins?
These are two examples of nucleic acids.
What are DNA and RNA?
Where are macromolecules found?

What are 3 elements found in carbs?
C H O
Bent fatty acids with one or more sets of double bonds between the Carbons.
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
The amino acids bond with this type of bond.
What is a peptide bond?
These types of food are where you would find nucleic acids.
What is food that was once alive (animal, plant life)
Monomers are joined to make polymers in this process.
What is Dehydration synthesis
