Processes
Hydrolysis
The process in which an oxygen atom is split into a hydrogen atom & and a hydroxyl group and added to 2 monomers that were previously bonded, breaking the bond.
Dehydration Synthesis
The process in which a hydrogen atom and a hydroxyl group is separated from 2 monomers creating a covalent bond between them.
Enzymes
Denaturization
When an enzyme reaches a high enough temperature, it becomes denatured, which means that its active site is deformed, losing its ability to bond or break apart substrates.
How They Work
Enzymes work by having an active site that is shaped for a certain type of substrate, which is then weakly bonded to the active site of an enzyme. Then, the enzyme either breaks apart a substrate's bond or connects 2 with a bond.
