Q

Lipids

A

do not form polymers, hydrophobic because they are made of hydrocarbons; form nonpolar covalent bonds

22

Hydrolosis

A

polymers are disassembled to monomers

24
Q

dehydration reaction

A

two monomers bond together

25
Polymer
long molecule with many building blocks
26
Monomer
small building block molecule
27
Enantiomers
isomers, mirror images of each other, only one is biologically active
28
Cis-Trans Isomers
covalent bonds double bonded to another carbon
29
Isomers
compounds with the same number of atoms of the same elements but have different structures and properties
30
Structural isomers
differ in covalent arrangement of their atoms

In molecules with multiple carbons each carbon bonded has a ... shape
tetrahedral
40
Atoms electron configuration determines what?
kinds and number of bonds the atom will form with other atoms
