- What is the chemical process that links the monomers together?
- What is the chemical process that breaks monomers apart?
- Describe the differences between a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, and a polysaccharide?
- Name three important polysaccharides. Describe their functions.
- What type of molecule is glucose?
- How many different amino acids are there?
