dehydration synthesis & hydrolysis & carbon importance

Question 1

dehydration synthesis description

Answer 1

2 or more molecules are joined together to form a larger molecule (polymers), following the release of water

Question 2

func of dehydration synthesis

Answer 2

creation of larger molecules from smaller monomers where a water mol is released, more bonds=more energy absorbed

Question 3

hydrolysis description

Answer 3

chemical reaction where a water molecule breaks 1 or more chem bonds, resulting in smaller molecules

Question 4

hydrolysis func

Answer 4

break down larger molecules into smaller molecules, broken bonds= released energy

Question 5

what is the importance features of carbon

Answer 5

ability to form single, double, or triple bonds and ability to bond w/ 4 diff atoms (4 valence electrons)

Question 6

how many protons neutrons and electrons in carbon

Answer 6

6 all, 4 valence electrons
