Describe the theme you have learned in this chapter relating to monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Relate this to what you have learned about lipids and proteins as well

What will be an ideal response?


Two monosaccharides may be hooked together to form a disaccharide; a chain of monosaccharides is a polysaccharide. Likewise, the building blocks that form lipids and proteins may exist as a simple molecule, or be hooked together to form long chains.
