A name for a bond that is shared unevenly.
What is a polar covalent bond?
300
This is the name of the bond between two monomers of carbohydrates.
What is a glycosidic linkage?
300
Because lipids are made of only these two elements they are non-polar.

If a compound has a ketone in it, it means it must have a _______ functional group.
Carbonyl
400
This short sweet molecule plays several important biological roles including as a monomer to cellulose.

What is 5' to 3'?
500
This molecule of Acetic acid shows what functional group?
What is Carboxyl?
500
This structural carbohydrate is not easily broken down by animals due to its straight structure and the scarcity of enzymes that can break it down.
What is cellulose?
500
This cell structure is really weird because it has amphiphilic lipids.
