1.1 Introduction to biological molecules

covalent bonding: the share
of pairs of electrons, non-metal non-metal


lonic bonding -
transfer of electrons between non-metal + metal


Hydrogen bonding
not evenly distributed and tend time in
Electrons within a molecule are to
spend more one position
Certain areas are more negatively charged.
Molecule is said to be polarised. (a polar molecule)

Negative region of one
polarised molecule + the positively charged region of another attract each other.
↳ weak electrostatic bond is
formed between the two

colective electrostatic bonds, form important forces that alter the
physical properties of the molecule.

Macro molecules
monomer polymerisationpolymer
Monomers are usually based off of carbon

Polysaccharides, polypetides and polynucleotides are made
naturally
condensation and hydrolysis reactions

·condensation polymerisation = water by product
e.g formation of a polypeptide from amino acids and the polysaccharide starch from the monosaccharide
glucose
are condensation reactions.


Polymers can be broken down
through the addition of water
water used in breaking the bonds that line the subunits of a polymer, spliting the molecule into its constituent
parts
This is called a hydrolysis reaction.

Rate at which all the chemical reactions in an organism take place
