Dehydrolysis

Question 1

What is a Polymer?

Answer 1

Long molecules built by linking chain

of repeating smaller units which are covalent bonds

Question 2

How does Dehydration Synthesis build a Polymer

Answer 2

joins monomers by “taking” H2O out
 1 monomer provides OH
 the other monomer provides H
 together dehydration synthesis
 joins monomers by “taking” H2O out
 1 monomer provides OH
 the other monomer provides H
 together it makes H2O
requires energy
& enzymes

Question 3

How does Hydrolysis Synthesis break down a polymer?

Answer 3

use H2O to break apart monomers
 reverse of condensation reaction
 H2O is split into H and OH
 H & OH group attach where the covalent
bond used to be
Ex:Digestion

Question 4

What are Carbohydrates composed up and their function?

Answer 4

Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen provide energy, energy storage

Question 5

What are Carbohydrate’s monomers?

Answer 5

sugars ex starches, glucose

Question 6

How are most sugar’s names ended?

Answer 6

OSE, and classified by the number of carbons

Question 7

What sugars form rings in aqueous solutions?

Answer 7

5C & 6C sugars form rings in aqueous solutions

 in cells!
