Answer 8

monomers

Question 9

When monomers join to form large chains
they are called….

Answer 9

Polymer

Question 10

What are monomers?

Answer 10

Individual molecules or subunits, they make up polymers when joined together.

Question 11

Are monomers small or big? Soluble or not soluble in water?

Answer 11

They are very small and are mostly soluble in water

Question 12

What can monomers do

Answer 12

pass in and out of
cells easily

Question 13

What are polymers?

Answer 13

large molecules made up of smaller molecules strung together

Question 14

Since Polymers do not enter and leave the cells freely, what do they do?

Answer 14

thus they have to use special
mechanisms

Question 15

What is Anabolism

Answer 15

reactions that build
molecules

monomers –> polymers

Question 16

What is Catabolism?

Answer 16

reactions that break
down molecules

polymers –> monomers

Question 17

A set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units is what reaction?

Answer 17

Anabolism

Question 18

What is condensation reaction

Answer 18

A type of anabolic reaction where Monomers join to form a polymer. A water molecule is removed. When water changes to from a gas to a liquid.

Question 19

What is condensation reaction also known as

Answer 19

dehydration synthesis

Question 20

What is released from condensation reaction

Answer 20

A molecule of water is released

Question 21

Example of Condensation Reactions

Answer 21

Glucose + Fructose = sucrose

Question 22

A set of pathways that deconstruct larger molecules into smaller units is what reaction?

Answer 22

Catabolism

Question 23

What is hydrolysis reaction

Answer 23

A type of catabolic reaction where polymers are broken apart into monomers, with a water molecule being used.

Question 24

What is used in hydrolysis reaction

Answer 24

A water molecule is used

Question 25

Example of hydrolysis

Answer 25

Lactose + Water = galactose + glucose

Acids are proton ___, while bases are proton ____

Answer 26

Donors, acceptors

Question 27

In redox reaction, reduction means... while oxidation means...

Answer 27

Reduction means gains an electron, while oxidation means loses an electron.

Question 28
