Tell me the difference between independent and dependent variables.
You can change the independent variable, but the dependent variable relies on the independent variable.

What's the polymer of a lipid?
Triglyceride
What is the polymer of a protein?
Polypeptide
What are the two polymers of nucleic acids?
DNA and RNA

On a sheet of paper, draw out what a complex carbohydrate might look like.
Should look like a "pearl necklace" or a bunch of small dots connected together.
Feel free to call me over if you cannot decide if the drawer deserves points or not.

Adenine
Thymine
any number below 7.

Nonpolar hydrophobic tails do not have a charge, so they do not form bonds with the partial charges of water.
If you said "polarity", or "lipids are hydrophilic", you can accept that answer.
What are three things that can impact the speed at which an enzyme works?
pH, temperature, and the amounts of enzyme/substrate present.

mono: 1
di: 2
poly: many
