1.) Name the four classes of large biological molecules.
|
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids
|
|
2.) Of the four classes of large biological molecules, which of them is not actually a polymer but considered a macromolecule nonetheless?
|
Lipids- they are only classified with the rest of the macromolecules due to their size
|
|
4.) Define monomer.
|
Monomers are the small building blocks that compose polymers.
|
|
5.) What is a condensation/dehydration reaction? Describe the process.
|
A condensation reaction is the process by which two monomers join together to form a polymer through the loss of a molecule of H20. Each of the molecules will contain a component of the water molecule- the first will provide the H, and the second a hydroxyl group (-OH). The water is lost and they are bonded together.
|
|
6.) What is a Hydrolysis? Describe the process.
|
Hydrolysis is the opposite of a dehydration reaction- it is the breaking down of a polymer into smaller components, monomers through the addition of an H20 molecule. One molecule will receive Hydrogen, the other a hydroxyl group.
