7. Polymer: chain Monomer: link

10. Synthesizing & Digesting: Two basic reactions: 1) Dehydration synthesis –Dehydration – water lost –Synthesis - build = removing a water molecule to build a polymer!!

11. Synthesizing & Digesting: 2) Hydrolysis –Hydro – water –Lysis – break apart = Using water to break apart polymers! DIGESTION!!!!!!!!

12. With a partner, define a monomer and a polymer… What is another everyday example you can think of that have monomers and polymers?

16. cell wall Cellulose

21. With a partner, discuss the following question: What are two ways that carbs and lipids are alike?

24. RNA

28. Peptide Bonds

29. IMPORTANT: The order of the amino acids determines the shape of protein The order of the amino acids determines the shape of protein Shape determines FUNCTION Shape determines FUNCTION !

31.  Primary Structure is just the specific order of amino acids in the chain.  Secondary Structures are either a helix or a pleated sheet formed form hydrogen bonds reacting between the amino acids.

32.  Tertiary Structure occurs because of attractions between the alpha helices and pleated sheets.  Quaternary Structure is a protein consisting of more than one amino acid chain.

33. With a partner, discuss the following question: How are carbohydrates and nucleic acids related?

34. Enzymes

36. Proteins Carbohydrates Lipids Nucleic Acids

37. With a partner, discuss the following question: How do we obtain carbon from the carbon cycle?
