AS Biology BYB1 Core Principles 10.1 Biological Molecules Test

This document contains a biology test covering core principles of biological molecules, including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and their structures and functions. The test contains multiple choice and drawing questions to assess the student's understanding of monomers and polymers of carbohydrates and proteins, as well as the structures of lipids, amino acids, and proteins. It will evaluate the student's knowledge of the reactions involved in forming biomolecules, as well as where different biological molecules are found and what purposes they serve in organisms.
