Condensation
reaction where two molecules combine, releasing water
Monomer
basic building block molecules capable of being linked together to form larger structures
Characteristics of monomers
relatively small
form chemical bonds
combine through condensation reactions to create polymers
Polymers
large molecules that are composed of repeating monomers
What conditions do condensation reactions require
enzyme catalysed
requires energy input
intracellular
Examples of condensation reaction
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Nucleic Acids
Hydrolysis
break apart complex molecules using H20 to disrupt H bonds
Characteristics of hydrolysis
require the input the water
catabolic
energy is released
