This is the number of electrons that go in the first orbital.
What is 2 electrons?
200
Passes instructions from parents to offspring
What is Nucleic Acids
200
These two macromolecules are both made up of oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon atoms only.
What is carbohydrates and lipids
200
Macromolecule composed of oils and fats
What is lipids
200
This is the type of bond that involves the transfer of electrons
What is ionic bond
300
Stores energy, forms cell membranes, carries messages
What is Lipids
300
This macromolecule is made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur.
What is protein
300
Examples of this macromolecule include enzymes and antibodies
What is proteins
300
Stability refers to a complete electron orbital which is this number of electrons for the second orbital.

500
contains instructions for proteins and helps make proteins
What is Nucleic acids
500
These three elements are found in all living things.
What is oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen
500
This specific type of lipid has double carbon bonds and is considered "better" for you to eat than other types of lipids
What is unsaturated fat
500
