biological effects

A

23
Q

24
Q

males have more what

25
isomers
molecules with the same molecular formula but different structures (shapes)
26
isomers
different chemical properties, and biological functions
27
monomers
smaller units from larger molecules are made
28
polymers
formed when monomers join together
29
basic structural unit
monomer
30
describe the relationship between monomer and polymer
a monomer is a single link in a chain and a polymer is the whole chain
31
a large molecule made up of repeating monomers
polymer/macromolecules
32
polymerization
2 or more monomers link together
33
do polymer lengths vary
yes 2 or 3 monomers long to 1000s of monomers
34
does the length of the chain affect the properties of the polymer?
yes
35
carbohydrates
monosaccharides form polymers called polysaccharides
36
what does mono mean
single
37
does saccharides mean
sugar
38
nucleotides
molecules make up strands of DNA
39
how do they link
condensation is a type of polymerization reaction that produces water as a byproduct
40
what are the steps of linking
1. The hydroxyl group is removed from 1 monomer and a hydrogen atom from another 2. 1 oxygen is left allowing the monomers to bind together 3. Water is produced as a byproduct
41
energy is stored in polymers
energy is released when needed
42
what is breaking up called
hydrolysis reaction
43
hydrolysis
addition of water molecules breaks the bonds between monomers splitting the polymer into its constituent parts
44
What is the opposite of condensation
hydrolysis
