What is Lipids
Do lipids have a true monomer?
No they are just made up of fatty acids not a true monomer
What type of fat has only single bonds (no double bonds)
Saturated fat
Is your head older than your feet?
Yes, density makes time move slower, so since your feet are closer to the earth, which is dense, time moves slower for them!

What is the function of DNA and RNA
What is DNA holds our genetic material and RNA helps to make/synthesize proteins
Will an enzyme work in an active site for a different type of enzyme?
No!!! Proteins shape determines its function, that enzyme would be the wrong shape. Like putting your house key in my classroom door.
