A blog covering and explaining the Edexcel IGCSE Biology specification for the 2016 summer exams. If you are doing just double science, you do not need to learn the stuff for paper two, if you are doing triple you will need to learn all (GOOD LUCK!) I have separated the papers to make files easier to find. Hope it helps :)

2.6 describe the structure of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids as large molecules made up from smaller basic units: starch and glycogen from simple sugar; protein from amino acids; lipid from fatty acids and glycerol
(you do not need to learn the diagrams, I just put them there for better understanding)
Carbohydrates (starch and glycogen)
simple sugars (monosaccharides), such as glucose (a basic carbohydrate), join together to make more complex polysaccharides and disaccharides...
Proteins
proteins are made up of amino acids
Lipids
made from three fatty acids and glycerol

you are lucky you do not have to draft those large molecules
