TOPIC 1
Biological Molecules
Carbohydrates
Monomers and Polymers
Monomers
small chemical units that join with identical molecules in long chains to form polymers
monosaccharides, amino acids, nucleotides
Polymers
large molecules made up of smaller chemical units that are joined by chemical bonds
carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids
Condensation Polymerisation Reaction
small molecule produced as by-product, typically water. due to production of this small molecule, peptide link formed between monomers to form polymers. same reaction would happen repeatedly to join long chains of monomers.
Hydrolysis
reverse of condensation reaction
Proteins
Lipids
Water
Enzymes
ATP
Inorganic Ions
Nucleic Acids
