    The document discusses the key characteristics of the four major macromolecules - carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. It provides examples of representative polymers for each: galactose for carbohydrates, triacylglycerol for lipids, enzymes for proteins, and DNA for nucleic acids. For each, it identifies the monomer subunits, describes the chemical structure and bonding that links the monomers together.

    U2 Learning Journal - Crossword

    Part1
    For each category of macromolecule, carbohydrate, lipid, protein and nucleic acid, select a representative
    polymer and explain its function within the cell. Suggest which aspects of your chosen molecule are
    characteristic of the class of macromolecules to which it belongs by identifying its monomer subunits and
    describing their basic chemical structure and the manner in which the monomers are linked together.

    Carbohydrate
    Representative polymer name:

    Galactose

    Its monomer subunits:

    monosaccharides

    Chemical structure:

    C6H12O6

    How monomers are linked together:

    Linked together by β1-4 glycosidic bonds which form long chains

    Lipid
