The Carbon Structure for the Macromolecules.

The Hydrocarbons.

You will be introduced to the versatile carbon molecules.

Carbon is able to form single, double, and triple bonds. Carbon compounds can be straight chain, branched or ring. 

The Molecules of Cell

Introduction to the Macromolecules 

You will be introduce to the macromolecules and their monomers;
The 4 Macromolecules are:

1) Carbohydrates ( Polysaccharides)  - monomers;  glucose
2) Proteins - monomers;  amino acids
3) Lipids -  monomers;  fatty acids and glycerol
4) Nucleic acids - monomers; nucleotides.
