Macromolecule
a very large organic molecule composed of many smaller molecules (critical to all living things)
one unit of a macromolecule
strand of many monomers
chemical substance that can not be broken down into simpler substances and are primary constituents of matter
Which property of carbon is important in the forming of many types of organic compounds
carbon has 6 electrons
carbon has 6 protons
carbon has 4 valence electrons
carbon can only bond with hydrogen
