Document Summary

Macromolecules (protein, nucleic acid and polysaccharide) makes up almost the rest of dry weight 26% Protein makes up the big chunk of macromolecules. Bulk of the weight comes from water. Monomers polymers via condendation (specifically dehydration reactions) Dehydrations reactions because a water molecule is formed in the process. 1 | b s c i 3 3 0. Carbohydrates energy source, structural support and binding surface. When it it opened, it is planar and there"s no chirality. Chemical features - linear chain ring, several oh groups. Up (above the plane of the ring) = beta. Down (below the plane of the ring) = alpha. The carbons in the ring are numbered clockwise from the oxygen in the ring. Linkages are made from left to right linkages are between oh on sugar a and another oh on sugar b. Linked sugars are capable of forming a vast array of branched polysaccharide structure.
