why are these processes important?
need to intake and break down energy, which comes in the form of food
polymers
large mlcs made of smaller subunits
monomers
small subunits making up larger mlcs
hydrolysis
type of biological reaction that breaks down large molecules into smaller ones; water mlcs (along with enzymes) are added to the bonds btwn monomers, breaking the covalent bond
dehydration synthesis
type of reaction where two smaller mlcs are joined together by covalent bonds; -H from one monomer and -OH from another monomer are removed, creating new bonds between the two monomers—taking water away to form new covalent bond between monomers
polymerization
connecting many monomers together to form polymers
