What is the use of nucleic acids

molecule formed whenever monomers join to make macromolecule

functions include energy storage and component of cellular membrane

an organisms genetic information is stored in which type of macromolecule

the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism

how is water bonded

In saturated fatty acids

when monomers are put together we create

glucose is a type of
