What is Dehydration Synthesis?
The process in building a macromolecule or joining many monomers through the removal of a water molecule.
- water molecule is removed and a macromolecule is made

What is the difference between a SIMPLE carbohydrate and a COMPLEX carbohydrate?
SIMPLE: only one sugar molecule & easy for our bodies to break down.
COMPLEX: many sugar molecules & more difficult for our bodies to break down.
