quizlet
What are monomers?
molecules that can bond to form polymers. building blocks.
What are polymers?
Chain of monomers.
What is the process of polymerization?
Taking monomers and making polymers.
What are the four molecule characteristics of living things?
Proteins(made from amino acids), Carbohydrates(made from monosaccharides), Nucleic acid( made from nucleotides), lipids
What is a macromolecule? give examples
Polymers with molecular weight exceeding 1000 g/mol. examples: proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acid, lipids
What is a functional group?
Group of atoms that link together and have the same function
Examples of functional groups
hydroxyl, carbonxyl, amino, phosphate, sulfhydryl what is an isomer? give two examples of isomers..
when a chemical formula is the same but arrangement is different. ex.) Structural isomer or Optical isomer what is the difference between structural or optical isomer?
Structural is when it is based on bonds and arrangement while Optical is when a carbon atom has 4 different atoms attached to it , making it have two ways to fit inside . like a mirror what percent of living tissue is water?
70%
List of most to least used sunstances in tissue
1.) water 2.) protein 3.)Nucleic acid 4.)Carbo hydrates 5.) lipids
What is condensation reaction?
Is a chemical reaction in which two molecules combine to form a bigger molecule. An example of this would be how monomers form polymers. In this process, water is lost. Think of it like this : It takes energy to combine two molecules. It's kinda of like exercising. After exercising, you have lost a lot of calories(energy) and you are very tired. You are very thirst... water is lost in condensation reaction.
What happens during a hydrolysis reaction?
This is the opposite of a consendation reaction. This is when a big molecule is broken down into smaller molecules. An example would be to break down a polymer to monomers. Just as it
