9. Organic Substances Poly mers are formed from the linking together of many similar mono mers . This statement should now make more sense now that we know the vocab root meaning!
10. Organic Substances Think of biomolecules as “giant molecules” formed from thousands or hundreds of thousands of smaller molecules. Mono mers (links) are the smaller units which are joined together to form poly mers (bike chain)

31. NUCLEIC ACIDS The pentose (5 carbon) sugar in a nucleotide is either ribose (RNA) or deoxyribose (DNA).
34. NUCLEIC ACIDS ATP ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE An individual nucleotide that functions in energy transfer (acts like a battery) in the cell. adenine ribose triphosphate
