-respiration
-glucose
-energy
What is the monomer of proteins?
amino acids
What is the polymer of proteins?
polypeptide
What is the role of proteins?
cell structure
What is the monomer of nucleic acid?
Nucleotide
What is the polymer of nucleic acids?
Polynucleotide
What are 2 reactions in monomers and polymers? - 2 points
- condenstation
- hydrolysis
What happens during a condensation reaction? - 3 points
- two molecules are added together
- a water molecule is kicked off
- a new covalent bond is formed
Give an example of a condensation reaction using A-H and B-OH to represent the molecules.
A-H + B-OH => A-B + H2O
Give an example of a hydrolysis reaction using A-B and H20 to represent the molecules.
A-B + H20 => A-H + B-OH
