1.3 Introduction to Biological Macromolecules - Review
This review will guide you through an adaptive, research-backed study session. As you answer questions, we will actively assess your current understanding of the material. Questions will continue to be drawn until you have demonstrated mastery of each learning objective.
Reviews are graded based on completion. You will receive full credit for achieving 100% mastery or answering all questions.
Learning objectives for this review:
- Identify carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, and describe their monomer units.
- Explain dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions in the formation and degradation of biological macromolecules.
- Provide examples of how each type of macromolecule contributes to cellular structure and function.
