Document Summary

Macromolecules: large organic molecules which are usually polymers. Polymer: large molecules consisting of many identical or similar subunits connected together. Monomer: subunit (building block) of a polymer. The reaction that forms a polymer from monomers is a polymerization reaction. Most biological polymerization reactions are condensation reactions dehydration synthesis reaction . Polymerization reactions in which the covalent linkage of the monomers is accompanied by the removal of a water molecule. The breaking of the covalent bond between two monomers by the addition of water. Diversity in polymers comes from the variation in the arrangement of the monomers. Carbohydrates are used as fuels and building material. Carbohydrates: organic molecules made of sugars and their polymers. Monomers of simple sugars are called monosaccharides. General structure of carbohydrates except for one carbon, which has a carbonyl group instead of the hydroxyl. Each carbon has a hydroxyl group (-oh) and at least one hydrogen (-h) attached to it for.
