A water molecule is neutral, but the charges within it are not distributed evenly making water a _________ molecule.
What is polar?
The general term used to described a subunit of a macromolecule.
What is a monomer?

What is CHON (and a little sulfur)?
Lipids are hydrophobic because they are _______ molecules.
What is nonpolar?
This level of protein folding is characterized by the presence of alpha-helices and beta-pleated sheets held in place with hydrogen bonds.
What is secondary structure?
What does it mean if error bars overlap on a graph?
The samples are NOT statistically significant.
This process breaks down polymers into monomers in the presence of water.
What is hydrolysis?
What elements make up nucleic acids?
