2 repeating units
Dimer
4 major classes of Biomolecules
Protein
Carbohydrates
Nucleic acid
Lipids
How do monomers bond?
By releasing water
3-10 repeating units
Oligamer
To split water
Hydrolysis
Large molecules
Macro molecules / bio molecules
,many repeating units
Biomolecules
How are polymers formed
Dehydration synthesis/ condensation reaction
Macro and micro molecules
Biogenic substances
More than ten repeating units
Polymer
When do you use hydrolysis
When you break down polymers to monomers
Who uses catalysts and enzymes
Hydrolysis
FACT
Every one bond one molecule of water is made
Small molecule that can form covalent bonds with other molecules
Monomer
What do one gains when hydrolysis happens
Hydrogen atom or hydroxyl ion
