9. 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

10. 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!
