Introduction to Biological Macromolecules

In this stream Kari reviews previous biochemistry materials, introduced the 4 major biological macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. By the end of the stream students should be able to:

1. Explain how macromolecules are built & broken.
2. Describe the monomers of each macromolecule.
3. Distinguish between elements present/not present in each macromolecule.
4. Begin to ask questions about how the structure of each macromolecules provides its function.
