A
4
2
Q
what is a functional group
A
parts of organic molecules that are involved in chemical reactions
3
Q
what are the 7 functional groups of biomolecules
A
hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, amino, sulfhydryl, phosphate, methyl
4
Q
out of the functional groups which are polar
A
hydroxyl, carbonyl, sulfhydryl
5
Q
monomers make up _________
A
polymers
6
Q
Write the steps in dehydration synthesis
A
one monomer donates OH-
other monomer donates H+
Together they form H2O
7
Q
what is an isomer
A
molecules that have the same molecular formula but different structures
8
Q
What process breaks down polymers
A
hydrolysis and digestion
9
Q
explain the steps of hydrolysis
A
Cleave off 1 monomer at a time
water is split into H+ and OH-
H+ and OH- attach to enzymes
