Biology Quiz 1

• Macromolecules -

  Are larged molecules composed of convelently connected atoms
• Polymer - is a long molecule consisting of many similar building blocks
• • monomers - these small building block molecules are called
• Dehydration Reaction - Occurs when the two monomers bond together through the loss of a water molecule
• Hydrolysis - Polymers Are Dessembled to monomers
• Carbohydrate,Protein, nucleic acid - Three of the four classes of life's organic molecules are polymers
• Macromolecules - Each Cells has thousands of different
• Carbohydrates - Include sugars and the polymers of sugar
• Monosaccharides - The simplest Carbohydrates
• Polymers - Composed of many sugar building blocks
• monosaccharides have molecular formulas that are usually multiples of CH²O
• Monosaccharides - serve as a major fuel for cells and as raw material for building molecule
• Disaccharide is formed when a dehydration reaction joins two monosaccharides
• glycosidic linkage - this covalent bond
• 1. Which of the following is the general formula for carbohydrates? (a) C6H12O6 (b)(CH2O)n (c) NH2-CH2-COOH (d) Glycerol and fatty acids
