4 Large Biological Molecules
Carbs, Lipids, proteins, Nucleic Acids
Lipids don’t necessarily count as MACRO molecules because
They don’t weigh over 100k in Daltons
Nucleic Acids —>
DNA/RNA
3 Macromolcules
Carbs, Proteins, Nucleic Acids
Macromolcules repeating units
MONO-MERS
built from repeating monomers
Polymers
Polymers are synthized by which process
Dehydration Synthesis
Hydro-lysis
Adding water to one larger moleule to break it into smaller molcecles ( breaking down a polymer)
Dehydration Synthesis is…
Loss of a water molecule and a covalent bond is formed so something ( 2 things) are built
Dehyd. and Hydrolysis are
OPPOSITES
__ facilitate both hydrolysis and dehydr. synthesis
