Deck 2 of Carbon, Functional Groups, and Polymer Principle

mainly for the biomolecules/macromolecules

What are the 4 major biomolecules

Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Which of the 4 major biomolecules is NOT a polymer?

LIPIDS

How is a biomolecule formed/broken down?

They are formed through dehydration synthesis (SYNTHESIS: TO MAKE) and broken down/ decomposed through hydrolysis.

How does the dehydration synthesis process work to form polymers?

2 monomers are joined together by covalent bonds through a LOSS of water

How does the hydrolysis process work to break/decompose polymers?

Covalent bonds between monomers are broken down by the ADDITION of water.

Dehydration synthesis joins ____ into ____

monomers, polymers

Hydrolysis breaks ___ into ____

polymers, monomers
