Organic Molecules

The Difference between monomers and polymers is that a monomer is a single molecule and polymers are multiple molecules together.

Dehydration Synthesis- when monomers combine to create polymers

Hydrolysis- the chemical reaction that breaks apart polymers to create monomers

Elements involved -carbon -hydrogen -oxygen

Their function is that they are the primary source of energy

ELements involved -carbon -hydrogen -oxygen

Fatty Acids and Glycerol are the types of monomers

Examples are -Fats -Oils -Waxes

Elements involved -Carbon -Hydrogen -Oxygen -Phosphorus -Nitrogen

Nucleic Acid Monomers -Adenine -Cytosine -Guanine -Thymine

The functions are storing and expressing genetic info.

Elements Involved -Carbon -Hydrogen -Oxygen -Nitrogen

Some examples -Gelatin -Hemoglobin

Functions of proteins are the metabolism, DNA replicating, and responding to stimuli.

A molecule that contains both carbon and hydrogen.

four major macromolecules -carbohydrates -lipids -proteins -nucleic acids
