Terminology: use your understanding of prefixes and root words to make sense of the following: Monomers:

Polymers:

Dehydration synthesis:

Hydrolysis:

Terminology: use your understanding of prefixes and root words to make sense of the following: Monomers: (mono- one) – this is the term we use to call the general

building blocks of each biomolecule.

Polymers: (poly- many)- this is a general term we use to indicate the chain of monomers strung together

Dehydration synthesis: dehydration (de-without) (hydro- water) (synthesis- building)- this is the term used to explain the process of building of polymers from monomer units by taking away water.

Hydrolysis: (hydro- water) (lysis- breaks apart)- this is the term used to explain the process of breaking down polymers into monomers by adding water.

Activity: BiomoleculesCarbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins & Nucleic AcidsDO NOW: What do you know about:

- Carbohydrates

- Lipids

- Proteins

- Nucleic Acids

- All of these are ORGANIC. What does that mean?

- Are they living or nonliving? How do you know (what are the characteristics of life)?

- What role do they have in the body?

- Why do you think they are considered biomolecules?

- What do they look like? (Structurally) and how is their structure related to their function? 

ORGANIC BIOMOLECULES& Living/Nonliving Organic means: THEY CONTAIN CARBON.

AND THEY ARE CONSIDERED…….NONLIVING

WHY?????

Because they don’t show all characteristics of life:

- Cells - growth - reproduction - heredity (DNA/RNA)

- Evolve - reponse to stimuli - homeostasis
