Study Notes
Carbohydrates
- Condensation reaction, also known as dehydration synthesis, joins two monosaccharides to form larger carbohydrate molecules.
Energy Source
- ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the main source of energy in all organisms.
Proteins
- Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
Monosaccharides
- The general chemical formula for monosaccharides is (CH2O)n, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the molecule.
Functional Groups
- Amino group, consisting of a single nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms (NH2), is a functional group commonly found in biomolecules.
