1. Define the terms monomer and polymer, and explain how they relate to biological molecules.
2. Describe the four major classes of biological molecules. For each class, identify its building blocks (monomers) and give one major function.
3. Explain the process of dehydration synthesis and how it is used to build polymers. Use a specific example from the video to illustrate your explanation.
