1 Macromolecules Chapter 5

2 Macromolecules Large complex molecules Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids & nucleic acids

3 Macromolecules Polymer Large molecule Carboydrates, proteins, nucleic acids Monomers Smaller repeating units Build polymers

4 Macromolecules Monomers are connected by a dehydration reaction Condensation reaction

5 Fig. 5-2a Dehydration removes a water molecule, forming a new bond Short polymerUnlinked monomer Longer polymer Dehydration reaction in the synthesis of a polymer HO H2OH2O H H H 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 (a)

6 Macromolecules Polymers are broken apart into monomers by hydrolysis Bonds are broken by adding water

7 Fig. 5-2b Hydrolysis adds a water molecule, breaking a bond Hydrolysis of a polymer HO H2OH2O H H H 3 2 1 1 23 4 (b)

8 Carbohydrates Simple sugars to complex polymers Stored energy Structure

9 Carbohydrates Monosaccharides Single sugar –Glucose, fructose, galactose Molecules contain carbon, hydrogen & oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio CH 2 O End in –ose Aldose: aldehyde sugar Ketose: ketone sugar
