Study Notes
Monomers and Polymers
- Monomer: A small, basic molecular unit capable of bonding with similar units through covalent bonds to form a larger molecule called a polymer
- Polymer: A large molecule comprised of repeating smaller monomer units linked together by covalent bonds.
- Dehydration Synthesis: The process where monomers bond together by removing a water molecule.
- Hydrolysis: The process where polymers are broken down by adding a water molecule to break the bonds between monomers.
- Biological Macromolecules: Large molecules essential for life, including carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids.
Examples of Monomers and Polymers
Monomer | Polymer | Example & Function |
---|---|---|
Monosaccharides (e.g., glucose) | Carbohydrates | Energy storage (e.g., glycogen, starch) |
Amino acids | Proteins | Enzymes, structural support, muscle function |
Nucleotides | Nucleic Acids (DNA/RNA) | Store & transfer genetic information |
Fatty acids & Glycerol | Lipids (e.g., triglycerides, phospholipids) | Energy storage, cell membranes |
