Draw 2 separate carbon molecules both with four single bonds connected to hydrogen molecules. Next take away two hydrogens from each and connect the carbons together with a double bond
What is the difference between being ionized and being polar?
Compare macromolecules to Monomers; complete the chart below
Example of a Macromolecule
Corresponding Monomer polysaccharide glycerol, fatty acid protein nucleic acid

CARBOHYDRATES
Link: http://www2.nl.edu/jste/carbohyd.htm#dehydration%20synthesis List the three main groups of carbohydrates and give an example of each
Play the animation of dehydration synthesis. What two monosaccarides did you start with? What disaccharide was produced? What molecule was synthesized as a bi-product?
Four types of polysaccarides are mentioned on this page, name them. Which are found in animals?

BIOCHEMISTRY WEBQUEST
Name:
dehydration synthesis. What is the name of the functional group on the ends of fatty acids that lose their “–OH” in order to bond to the glycerol? When making one triglyceride, how many molecules of water are formed? (2 points)

Name the four parts to a phospholipid molecule
Play the animation of phospholipids being immersed in water. Why do the tails float in the water pointing up? What happens when a second layer of phospholipids are added?
Which of the following are also found
