oh ok, i got it, so far thnks guys i knew i could count on u! there's another thing i dont get... how would you draw a hydrolysis. i drew a diagram, and it was marked wrong. so im guessing he wants an explaination. but i dont get it. ugh.

CH & O for carbs
CH &O for lipids
CHOS &N for proteins
CHON &P for nucleic acids.
Hydrolysis: is a catabolic process by which the bond between monomers are broken by the enzyme and the addition of water.
sucrose + water + enzyme = glucose + fructose + enzyme.

carbohydrates n lipids contain Carbon, Hydrogen n Oxygen
proteins contain the above as well as Nitrogen and Sulphur
nucleic acids are made of a pentose sugar (5 carbon sugar) a phosphate group n a nitrogenous base. So, nitrogen, phosphur, carbon, hydrogen n oxygen

Carbon , hydrogen, and oxygen.
Carbohydrates , lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids are the four different types of macromolecules.
Google "macromolecule", this should bring up many sites that will paraphrase the differences for you.

AP Biology has a generic beginning for the technological expertise whilst AP Environmental technological expertise seems to be a based Ecology course. on the comparable time you probably did passable in the Honors BIology course, you will could desire to have self belief approximately what you plan on doing while you get to classes. Use AP Biology to lessen interior the process the suitable standards and flow suitable to the top point classes. go alongside with AP Biology. although, verify with colleges what that type covers with their curriculum (does it cover one or 2 semesters of elementary biology to illustrate?).

They all four have carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. ... CHO. Just say it like it's a word "cho" to remember those.
Carbohydrates - CHO
Lipids - CHO
Proteins - CHONS
Nucleic acids - CHONP
