science biomolecules

• biomolecules an organic molecule that includes carbohydrates, protein, lipids, and nucleic acids
• carbohydrates molecules made from aldehydes mainly composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
• carbohydrates are classified as monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides
• monosaccharides consist of single unit which contains carbon chain of three to six carbon
• dissacharides consists of two monosaccharides that are chemically combined
• 4 different classes of biomolecules carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids,
• polysaccharides are polymers containing numerous monosaccharide monomers
• the 3 common polysaccharides starch, glycogen, and cellulose
• condensation reaction is a reaction in which two molecules or parts of the same molecule combine
• when two glucose are combined maltose is formed and water is lost during the process
• hydrolysis reaction occurs when the bond between monosaccharides is broken with the addition of a water molecules
• lactose is made up of sugar called galactose and glucose
• proteins are polymers of amino acids
• enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts
