What is it about amino acids that give proteins the ability to be such talented molecules and allow them to form macromolecules as diverse as antibodies, enzymes and muscle fibers?

Biomolecules Homework Part 2:
There are four categories of biomolecules that can be described as macromolecular building blocks of life: Lipids, Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids.

Question #1
Make a chart that summarizes the following: What are the Monomers and Polymers associated with each category. For each category, include in the chart primary biological functions and chemical characteristic (e.g. hydrophilic or hydrophobic).

Question #2
What is the difference between a hydrocarbon and a carbohydrate?

Question #3
Often food products will include oils described as “Hydrogenated Unsaturated.” What is the problem with that?

Question #4
What is it about amino acids that give proteins the ability to be such talented molecules and allow them to form macromolecules as diverse as antibodies, enzymes and muscle fibers?
Answer each question

Question #5
Both RNA and DNA are built from Nucleic Acids. Make a Venn diagram to summarize the similarities and differences in form and function.
