Dehydration Synthesis = Condensation The way that polymers are
assembled Dehydration – water is
removed Synthesis – to make Remove water to make a bond

Hydrolysis
The way that polymers are broken down (metabolized) Hydro – water Lysis – to cut/break Add water to break a bond
Where does a lot of hydrolysis happen?

Starch and Cellulose Digestion
Enzymes that digest starch by hydrolyzing linkages can’t hydrolyze linkages in cellulose
Cellulose in human food passes through the digestive tract as insoluble fiber

many fungi

Lipids
Hydrophobic – they mix poorly with water
Mostly hydrocarbon regions – nonpolar
![Page 20: CHAPTER 3: THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE The Structure and Function of Large Biomolecules.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e2a5503460f94b17585/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Fats - CHO

Saturated vs. Unsaturated
have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible and no double bonds
have one or more double bonds
Saturated fatty acids Unsaturated fatty acids
![Page 23: CHAPTER 3: THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE The Structure and Function of Large Biomolecules.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e2a5503460f94b17585/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Animal vs. Plant
Most animal fats No double bonds
makes the tail flexible They can pack
together tightly Solid at room
temp
Most plant fats (oils) Double bonds
makes them bent Can’t pack together Liquid at room temp
Hydrogenated = added Hs to make them saturated
Saturated Fats Unsaturated Fat
![Page 24: CHAPTER 3: THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE The Structure and Function of Large Biomolecules.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e2a5503460f94b17585/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What do fats do?
Too much saturated fat is bad for you Atherosclerosis –
plaques of fat in blood vessels
Hydrogenation forms trans fats – even worse!
Store lots of energy 2x as much as
carbs! Cushions vital
organs Insulates the
body
Bad things Good things

R groups – ~20 in humans
The R group’s structure determines the property of the amino acid Example: Alanine = CH3
CH3 is nonpolar and so is Alanine
Alanine (Ala or A)
