What does it mean to be a Polar Molecule?
It means the molecule has a positive charge on one side, and negative on the other. Making it compatible and able to bond with many other substances
What is the function of proteins
Provides cell structure, sends chemical signals to speed up chemical reaction.
Which macromolecule is Fatty acids

Which can be affected by PH or Temperature
Enzymes
Nucleic acid
All living things have Nucleic acid in them
What are monomers and polymers
A monomer is a type of molecule that has the ability to chemically bond with other molecules in a long chain; a polymer is a chain of an unspecified number of monomers
