MONOMER POLYMER Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids 19. You notice a thin layer of a substance that is slimy and doesn’t mix with water. It is also liquid at room temperature, and was found in the kitchen. You may infer that it is EXACTLY what type of macromolecule? (The macromolecule AND the kind of macromolecule. Look in your notes!) ________________________________________ 20. Your best friend tells you that they are deathly allergic to certain amino acids in food. Your mom has prepared dinner already, so you need to tell her not to serve what macromolecule to them? __________________________________________
