Biochemistry Dehydration and Hydrolysis Reactions
Introduction All living things made of elements C, H, O, NP, SOthers
Carbon – Organic Chemistry Forms 4 covalent bonds Energy is stored in covalent bonds Carbon can form large stable chains or rings or chains of rings
Polymerization Polymer - Large molecule made of many parts Monomer- Subunit or building block for Polymer
Breaking and Forming Polymers Dehydration Synthesis –“take water out” –Joining monomers to add polymers by adding water Hydrolysis –“break using water” –Breaking polymers into monomers by adding water
Dehydration Synthesis Monosaccharides Disaccharide Polysaccharide
Dehydration Synthesis
Small molecules are joined together to form larger molecules Energy is used Water is released H2OH2O
Dehydration Synthesis Small molecules are joined together to form larger molecules Energy is used Water is released
Hydrolysis
Large molecules are broken apart to produce smaller molecules Energy is released Water is used to split the bond H 2 O
Hydrolysis Large molecules are broken apart to produce smaller molecules Energy is released Water is used to split the bond
Protein formation…Hydrolysis or Dehydration? Monomer –Amino Acid Polymer –Polypeptide Bond –Peptide
