STAMP IT in your notebook
Synthesis reactions create bonds and store energy whereas digestion reactions break bonds and release energy.
Each have their own building blocks and functions, all macromolecules are made up of repeating smaller subunits.
Synthesis reactions: combine molecules to become more complex
Digestion reactions: breaks down molecules to become simple
