Document Summary

The structure and function of large biological molecules. There are four classes of biological molecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids. Large biological molecules are also known as macromolecules. They have unique properties because of their unique arrangement of their atoms. Each cell has different thousands of different macromolecules. Polymers are made from the process of dehydration synthesis: reaction where water leaves [monomer + monomer = polymer + water] Hydrolysis: reaction where polymers become monomers with the addition of water. The simplest carbohydrates are monosaccharides that have the cho ratio of 1:2:1. Glucose is the most common monosaccharide with the molecular formula c6h12o6. Classified by the location of the carbonyl group [c=o] and the number of carbons on the carbon skeleton. Carbonyl group on the outside of the chain are known as aldehyde; carbonyl group on the middle of the chain are known as ketone. There are multiple forms of glucose: linear form of glucose, ring form of glucose.
