Presentation transcript:

The molecules that form life. Polymers – the Chains of Life

Monomers Basic units of biomolecules All four biomolecules Can be chained together to make more complex biomolecules

Polymer A molecule made of many monomers bonded together. DNA and RNA are both polymers. “Sugar” or sucrose is a polymer of glucose.

Making and Breaking Polymers By “making water” we can join two monomers together Dehydration By adding water we can break that molecule apart Hydrolysis

Vocabulary Polymer Monomer Hydrolysis Dehydration Polymerization
