monomers and polymers
monomers and polymers condensation and hydrolysis
What is a monomer? reactions
Monomers are the smaller units from What does a condensation reaction do?
which larger molecules are made. Joins 2 molecules together
Give three examples of monomers Forms a chemical bond
Nucleotides How do condesation reactions involve
Monosaccharides water?
Amino Acids It eliminates a water molecule
What is a polymer? What does a hydrolysis reaction do?
Polymers are molecules made from a Seperates 2 molecules
large number of monomers joined Breaks a chemical bond
together.
How do hydrolysis reactions involve
Give three examples of polymers water?
Polynucleotides (e.g. DNA/RNA) It requires the addition of a water
Polysaccharides (e.g. starch, molecule
glycogen and cellulose)
Polypeptides (protein)
