Polymers

Long molecules built by linking chain of repeating smaller units

Polymers

Monomers = repeated small units

Covalent bonds

How to build a polymer Condensation reaction

Dehydration synthesis

Joins monomers by “taking” water out1 monomer provides OH

Other monomer provides H

Together they form water

Requires energy and enzymes

How to break down a polymer Hydrolysis

Use water to break apart monomersReverse of condensation reaction

Water is split into H and OH

H and OH group attach where the covalent bond used to be

Example:

digestion is hydrolysis

Sugars

Most names for sugars end in –ose Classified by number of carbons

6C = hexose (glucose)

5C = pentose (fructose, ribose)

3C = triose (glyceraldehyde)
