Document Summary

Polymer: a long molecule consisting of many similar or identical building blocks linked by covalent bonds. Enzymes: specialize macromolecules of speed up chemical reactions. Dehydration reaction: monomers are connected by a reaction in which two molecules are covalently bonded to each other, with the loss of the water molecule. Hydrolysis: polymer"s are disassembled to monomers (addition of water) Monosaccharides: usually contain carbonyl and multiple hydroxyl groups. Disaccharide: consists of two monosaccharides joined by a glycosidic linkage- a covalent bond formed between two monosaccharides by dehydration reaction. Polysaccharides: 100 swear thousand monosaccharides going together by a glycosidic linkage. Ester linkage: upon form by dehydration reaction between the hydroxyl group and a carboxyl group. Catalysts: chemical agents that selectively speed up chemical reactions without being consumed by the reaction. Primary structure: protein sequence of amino acids form with the random amino acids and genetic information. Secondary structure: result of hydrogen bonds between the bond repeating constituents of a peptide backbone.
