mostly of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, nitrogen,
and sulfur.

Dont contain carbon
TERM 7
Polymers
DEFINITION 7
made up of small similar organic groups, called monomers, 4
biomolecules are these
TERM 8
Monomers
DEFINITION 8
units found in living organisms that can be used to construct
an extraordinary number of polymers
TERM 9
Dehydratiion
DEFINITION 9
how tow monomers can be joined together, one monomer
looses two atoms and the other looses one, the 2 lost (-OH)
and one lost (-H) form to make H20, the 2 monomers join by
a covalent bond, forming a large molecule "removing water"
TERM 10
Hydrolysis
DEFINITION 10
the process of breaking down polymers, adding water in
order to split,
