Document Summary

An enzyme grabs two monomers and pull an oh off of one, an h off of another, and make water (condensation). It builds a covalent bond between the two monomers. Monomers have more disorder, so entropy has decreased. When you build, that is an anabolic reaction. You require an input of energy, so it is endergonic. This is because you are going against entropy because entropy wants more disorder. Hydrolysis: an enzyme inserts water in between a covalent bond in a polymer so the covalent bond is broken. Unsaturated lipid tails have at least one double bond. Lipids: phospholipids are amphipathic--they have both polar (heads) and nonpolar (tails) If there are a lot of straight tails, the membrane is tight. It makes it less fluid with lower permeability. The more unsaturated tails, there is a higher permeability. Chromosomes don"t look like x"s except in cell division; they look like spaghetti.
