Things I Need to Remember Monosaccharides/Sugars, the smallest carbohydrates, give quick energy Fatty acids make Lipids that store large amount of ENERGY and are represented by a long chain of carbons

Things I Need to Remember A sequence of amino acids make a protein and will always have a N! Nucleic Acids store & transmit hereditary information and always have a P!

Proteins and polysaccharides are polymers Proteins and polysaccharides are polymers. These polymers are formed by dehydration synthesis. Which statement correctly identifies a difference in the structure of proteins and polysaccharides? F Only polysaccharides are comprised of repeating units of cytosine, adenine, guanine, and thymine. G Only proteins are formed from amino acids joined by peptide bonds. H Only polysaccharides can be folded and twisted to very specific shapes. J Only proteins can be large molecules with thousands of subunits.
