BIOL 130 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Messenger Rna, Dehydration Reaction, Covalent Bond
Document Summary
Objective- illustrate generic dehydration synthesis and generic hydrolysis reaction. Macromolecules found in organic compounds: carbs, proteins, nucleic acids (not lipids) Polymer- long molecule consisting of many similar links of covalent bonds. Monomer with -oh binds with monomer with h (water lost but polymer made) Hydrolysis- reverse of dehydration reaction where polymers are broken down. Lysis- splitting water is used to split molecule into two.

Name precisely the linkages that connect monosaccharides in a polysaccharide. Perform dehydration synthesis between alpha and beta to form maltose.
