5250763236Amphipathic2 opposing forces. hydrophilic from one end, hydrophobic from the other.32
5250774918Phospholipid bilayertwo layers of phospholipids, with a hydrophobic, or water-hating, interior and a hydrophilic, or water-loving, exterior.33
5250779336Carbohydrates building blocksmonosaccharides34
5250785890MonosaccharidesPentoses or Hexoses (up to 7 carbon atoms). Consists of -OH bonds and -H bonds.35
