Document Summary

Polymerization/depolymerization reactions: some of the most important and large molecules found in all living things can be sorted into 4 main classes: lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids, macromolecules are polymers, build from monomers. 3 of 4 classes of life"s organic compounds: (carbohydrate, proteins and nucleic acids all except lipids are chain like molecules called polymers) Dehydration: one monomer provides a hydroxyl group ( oh), wile the short polymer/ monomer will provide a hydrogen (-h), dehydration removes a water molecule, forming a longer polymer chain, water is released, the break down of polymers through. Hydrolysis: polymers are disassembled to monomers through hydrolysis. The bond between monomers is broken down with the addition of a water molecule. The hydrogen form the water molecule attaches to the polymer and. Functions of protein: comes from the greek word proteois which means rst or primary , proteins play a role in: speeding up chemical reaction, defence, storage, transport, cellular communication, movement or structural support.
