18. simple organic molecules that forms polymers
19. formed between two atoms of different electronegativity
20. molecules with symmetrical structure
24. the ability of an atom attracting the shared electrons
25. -OH, polar functional group: can form hydrogen bond

9. different atoms of one element
10. CH2 polymers, carboxyl group on one end
12. glucose polymers, storage of energy, plants
13. formed between two identical atoms
14. made by plants, source of quick energy, hydrophilic
16. hydrogen bond formed between water molecules and other molecules
21. 1 hydrophilic phosphate "head" + 2 hydrophobic fatty acid tails
22. adding water to break down polymers into monomers
23. many sugar polymers
26. any polymer of amino acids
28. catalyze biochemical reactions
30. basic property, found in amino acids
31. all complex biological macromolecules are formed based on skeletons made of carbon chains, with also some other important elements
33. dislike water
34. oils and fats
