dehydration synthesis
covalent bond created between monomers by removing H2O that creates a polymer
What is the bond created by carbohydrates called
glycosidic linkage
Hydrolysis
cut bond created by dehydration synthesis by adding water
polysaccharride
macromolecules composed of complex carbohydrates including at least ten monosaccharides joined through glycosidic bonds which can be linear or branched.
starch
gives enegery for us and plants; many glucoses put together with alpha linkages
cellulose
glucoses put together with beta linkages; gives structure to plants cells and provides fiber for us
glycogen
energy storage in liver and muscles; connected with alpha linkages
chitin
arthropod exoskeletons, monomer is glucosamine ; makes up the cell wall in fungi
What are lipids mainly used for
Long term energy and insulation
tryglyceride
connected through dehydration synthesis; 3 fatty acids connected to a glycerol
Phospholipid
glycerol with 2 fatty acid tails with a polar head that likes water and nonpolar tail thast hydrophobic ; because os this structure it automatically forms a bilayer great for the cell membrane because its semi-permeable
Saturated fatty acid
- saturated with hydrogen
- no double bonds between carbons
- Solid at room temperature
ex. Butter
unsaturated fatty acid
- less hydrogen
- carbon carbon double bonds
- liquid at toom temperature
ex. olive oil
what is the bond between amino acids connected through dehydration synthesis called
peptide bond
3 different parts of mino acid
amine group
Carboxyl group
