Study Notes
- Four major types of biological molecules in our bodies are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
- Macromolecules are the largest state of biological molecules and are often made by linking smaller monomers together.
- Monomers are small organic molecules serving as subunits to create larger molecules, with polymers being large organic molecules made from many monomers covalently linked together.
- Polymers are typically made through dehydration synthesis reactions, while they are degraded by hydrolysis reactions when the body needs to break them down.
- Dehydration synthesis reactions involve covalently linking individual pieces together to create a larger molecule, releasing water as a byproduct, and requiring energy and enzyme catalysis.
