Monomer and polymers

What are the main elements in living organisms

Carbon 11%

Hydrogen 59%

Oxygen 24%

Nitrogen 4%

Phosphorus and sulfur 2%

types of bonding

Covalent- shared electrons between non-metal ions

Ionic -atoms gain or lose electrons to become ions with +ive or -ive charges. Opposites attract between metal and non metal atoms

Hydrogen- The shared electrons are not evenly distributed producing a polar molecule. Hydrogen bonds form between molecules

What is a monomer

A molecule that can join with another monomer to create a polymer

What is a polymer

Many monomers joined together

What is hydrolysis

The breaking of a bing by inserting a water molecule

What is condensation

Thé formation of a bond by removing a water molecule

The polymer formed by the condensation of monosaccharides

A polysaccharide

The type fo reaction that joins monomers to create polymers

Condensation

Small molecules that are joined to form polymers

Monomers

The type of reaction that breaks polymers to make monomers

Hydrolysis

Large molecule that is formed through the condensation of monomers

Polymer

Monomer formed by the hydrolysis of polypeptides

Amino acids
