, What does it mean the word "Polar" An atom is polar when one part of a molecule has
when talking about an atom? a negative charge, and the opposite side has a
positive one. This is because of the difference in
distribution of protons and electrons. (Ex. Water
molecule, side that has the 2 hydrogen are positive,
while side of the oxygen atom that has no protons
is negative.
What are the monomers for each of Protein- Amino Acids
the macromolecules? Carbohydrates- monosacharides
Nucleic Acids- Nucleotides
Lipids- Fatty acids and Glycerol
Define hydrolysis and dehydration Hydrolysis: Hydrolysis is a process where two
synthesis chemicals that are already bonded together can
seperate due to the addition of a water molecule.
Dehydration Synthesis: It is a chemical process that
bonds two chemicals together by taking out 2
hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom(taking out a
water molecule). Ex. Two amino acids are joined
together by a peptide bond; multiple of those
bonds form a polypeptide.
