List all the monomers for the macromolecules:
Carbs: Lipids: Proteins: Nucleic Acids
C - Monosaccharides
L - Fatty Acids
P - Amino Acids
N - Nucleotides
What is a control group?
Trial of an experiment that is close to "normal"
ex: resting heart rate, giving a plant normal light, testing water for macromolecules (doesn't have any)
