5.1 Flashcards
Isomer
Molecules with same molecular formula but different structures
One molecule that if combined makes a polymer
monomer
polymer
Can be made up of the same molecules but can be totally different based on that
What happens during a hydrolysis reaction
H2o breaks down polymers and cleaves off one monomer at a time. Used enzymes but releases energy
Carboxyl
Negatively charged with two oxygens forming a double bond and then carbon and OH.
What happens during a dehydration synthesis reaction
joins monomers by taking h2o out. one donates H and one donates OH to form h2o. requires enzymes and energy
Amino
Nitrogen and two hydrogen. positively charged
Carbon and three hydrogen. Nonpolar
Methyl
Sulfur and hydrogen. polar
sulfhydryl
carbon and oxygen. polar
carbonyl
phosphate
Phosphorus and four oxygen. negatively charged.
What do multiple monomers make up?
polymers
What’s the opposite of dehydration synthesis?
hydrolysis
