Macrom olecules
2
Macromolecular Structure Monomer Monomer Single molecule used as building block Assembles polymers via dehydration (condensation) COH H H HCOH H H H Dehydration 1.H and OH are removed 2.Monomers bond
3
Macromolecular Structure Polymer Polymer Breaks down into smaller polymers or monomers via hydrolysis C OH H H HCOH H H H Hydrolysis 1.Molecules separate 2.Water lyses and occupies open bonds
5
Carbohydrates

Monosaccharides Carbohydrate monomers Carbohydrate monomers (CH 2 O) n (CH 2 O) n
7
Polysaccharides Monosaccharide condensation via glycosidic linkage Monosaccharide condensation via glycosidic linkage Identity depends on… Identity depends on… Monomers and glycosidic linkage angle (3-D shape)
