What are functional groups?
Parts of organic molecules that are involved in chemical reactions
What are the three things functional groups do?
Give organic molecules distinctive properties, make hydrocarbons hydrophilic, and increase solubility in water
What is an Isomer?
Molecules with same molecular formula but different structures (different chemical properties and different biological functions)
What are polymers?
They are formed from multiple monomers connected together.
What are monomers?
Building blocks; combine with others of the same kind to form a chemical compound known as a polymer.
What is the relationship between monomers and polymers?
Polymers are made up of monomers.
What is the Dehydration System?
Links monomers together into polymers by releasing water.
What is Hydrolysis?
Breaks polymers into monomers using a water molecule.
What are some characteristics of carbon?
The primary component of macro molecules and it allows it to bond in many different ways with a bunch of different elements
What are some characteristics of hydrocarbons?
Molecules that contain only Carbon and Hydrogen
