1. Dehydration Synthesis & Hydrolysis

2. Monomers and Polymers
Monomer- subunit or building block; smallest piece
Polymer- large molecule made up of many monomers

3. Forming Polymers
Dehydration Synthesis - joining monomers to make polymers by losing water
Dehydration = lose water
Synthesis = to make polymer

4. Breaking Polymers
Hydrolysis - breaking down polymers into monomers by adding water
Hydro = add water
Lysis = to break

5. In your IAN Notebook, Use the Building Macromolecules Cut Ups to Illustrate and Label the Processes below.
Dehydration Synthesis Use two “Carbon” Monomers to Illustrate and Label this process in your notebook. Show the Water Molecule that comes out during this process.
Hydrolysis Use two “Carbon” Monomers to Illustrate and Label this process in your notebook. Show how the Water Molecule goes into breaking the Disaccharide apart during this process.
