200
An immense variety of polymers can be built from a small set of these.
What are monomers
200
THe most common monosaccharide.
What is glucose
200
Three fatty acids are joined to glycerol by an ester linkage, creating one of these.
What is triacylglycerol
200
The two fatty acid tails are this.
What is hydrophobic
200
A type of protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up chemical reactions.
What are enzymes.
300
A reaction that is the reverse of the dehyrdration reaction.
What is hydrolysis
300
In aqueous solutions, many sugars form these.
What are rings
300
Fatty acids vary in length and in the number and location of these.

What is a hydrophilic head
300
Molecules ending in -ose are one of these.
What are sugars
400
These are macromolecules that speed up the dehydration process.
What are enzymes
400
formed when a dehydration reaction joins two monosaccharides.
What are disaccharides
400
Have one or more double bonds.
What are unsaturated fatty acids
400
Phospholipids self-assemble into a bilayer with the hydrophobic tails pointing toward the interior when they are added to this.
