Q

What is an ionic bond?

A

Intramolecular (bonds inside)
Occurs between a metal and not metal
+ ions from metals mostly
And - ions from non metal
Due to electrostatic forces of attraction between them.

Q

What is a hydrogen bond?

A

is like a weak magnet-like attraction between a hydrogen atom and an oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine atom in different molecules.
It occurs due to differences in electro negativity

Q

Example of hydrogen bond from the lesson.

A

So basically hydrogen is partially positive as when it binds with oxygen,oxygen is more electronegative (electron attracting) so the electron spends more time near oxygen making it partially negative and less form hydrogen thus partially positive.

Q

How polymers made and the name of reaction?

A

-Polymerasation
-Condensation reaction,because every time a subunit is added a molecule of water is lost
-Chain is formed when monomer subunits react with terminal end of growing polymer

16
Q

What happens when polymers break down?

A

-Hydrolysis
(Water splits)
-And added back to the 2 subunits

17
Q

What is glycogen and why is it branched?

A

-is an energy store made branching chain of glucose
-branching helps enzyme to release energy

18
Q

What is cellulose in plants and why is it unbranched?

A

-Is a structural molecule made of long chains of unbranded glucose
-unbranched to give a uniform form of support of cells structure

19
Q

What is a monosaccharide?

A

A monomer of carbohydrates

20
Q

What is the energy storage for plants?

A

Starch

21
Q

How is a disaccharide formed?

A

-It is a reaction between monosaccharides e.g glucose,fructose,galactose -forming a glycosidic bond
And forming water from the 2 subunits

22
Q

Tell me what forms the 3 disaccharides are formed?

A

Maltose:2 glucose monomers
Sucrose:glucose and galactose e.g sugar
Lactose:formed from glucose and fructose monomer.

23
Q

How is a polysaccharide formed?

A

-by the condensation of many glucose units

24
Q

What is an isomer?

A

It means Different forms

25
Q
