What are the 4 major types of molecules and macromolecules? | Why are lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, & nucleic acid so important? |
What are carbohydrates made out of? | What complex molecule does carbon, hydrogen, & oxygen make up? |
What are monosaccharides called? | What is another term for simple or one sugar? |
How are disaccharides formed? | What happens when you take 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen atom out of 2 monosaccharides? |
What does saturated mean in fatty acids? | If all the carbons in a fatty acid are linked by a single covalent bond, what is this called? |
What breaks apart a dissacharide? | What does hydrolysis do to a dissacharide? |
What does unsaturated mean & what does it apply to? | When a fatty acid contains one or more double bonds, what is this called? |

What are hydrocarbons? what happens to them in water? | What molecules that are prodominantly hydrogen-carbon bonds that are poorly soluible in water called? |
Why are carbon-carbon bonds so stable? | This atom, although small, tends to create short, thus strong, bonds with itself. |
