What is a functional group
a cluster of atoms that behave in a characteristic way
have characteristic chemical properties
tend to be very reactive since they contain highly electronegative atoms

Condensation is…
Anabolic (adding) synthesis. and endothermic
What are condensation and hydrolysis catalyzed by?
enzymes
Alcohol and alcohol produce
water and ether
Where are ether linkages seen
in carbohydrate molecules
Alchol+ Carboxylic acid produce…
ester linkage and water.
Ester linkages are often seen in lipid molecules
Carboxylic acid +amine produce
amide linkages often seen in protein molecules
Alcohol + phosphate produce…
Phosphodiester linkage , often seen in nucleic acid molecules.
Hydrolysis reaction…
Catabolic (cut) therefore exothermic
Ester + water make
Alcohol + carboxylic acid.
Glycerol + 3 fatty acids make
Lipid + H2o
Amino acid+ Amino acid
Polypeptide + H2O
Monosaccharide + Monosaccharide make
Polysaccharide
What is another word for amide linkage
peptide bond
