Midterm Flashcards
The reverse or catabolic reaction in which complex molecules are decomposed into simpler molecules and water is added to the resultant compounds is referred to as
Hydrolysis
The smallest unit of protein
Amino acids
The outer ring of electrons is responsible for bonding between atoms
Valence
An anabolic reaction in which complex molecules are formed from smaller molecules and water is removed in the bonding process is known as
Dehydration synthesis
The type of bond in which electrons are transferred between atoms
Ionic
The type of bond in which electrons are shared
Covalent
Water molecules are attracted to each other because of negative and positive “polar” ends. These vine are outside of the molecule and are known as
Hydrogen
