AP® Biology Unit 1.3 Introduction to Macromolecules

Teach the backbone of biochemistry in one clean session.


This focused deck introduces biological macromolecules by zooming in on how monomers join into polymers and how dehydration and hydrolysis control that cycle, setting up deeper dives on carbs, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids in later subunits.

What’s included

• 13 professionally designed slides (16:9) in PDF format.
• Clear explanations & diagrams: monomer vs polymer, identifying functional groups at a glance, dehydration synthesis (water out, bond formed), hydrolysis (water in, bond broken),  and why structure predicts function.
• Assessment: 6 AP-style MCQs  (with answer key)+ 1 FRQ-style prompt (hidden answer key & marking notes).

Perfect for


Private tutoring, small groups, classroom lessons, and self-learners who want tight visuals and exam-ready phrasing.
