Learning Journal Unit 2assignment

The document is an assignment from a biology course that asks students to create a table comparing the four main biological macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. The table must include the monomer building blocks, nature of the monomers, specific examples of each macromolecule, and specific functions for each. Examples of monomer building blocks listed are simple sugars, amino acids, glycerol and fatty acids, and nucleotides. The table provides details on the monomer nature, examples, and functions for each of the four macromolecules.

Assignment: Create a table comparing the four major biological macromolecules: carbohydrates,
lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Your table must include the following elements: monomer
building blocks, nature of monomer, specific examples (more than one), specific functions (more
than one). You can create a table using MS Word. The more you put into this table, the better
prepared you will be for the quiz.
