Document Summary
The structure and function of large biological molecules. Memorize: [as the h+ ions increase, the ph of a solution decreases. And the solution becomes more acidic: macromolecules are polymers, built from monomers (5. 1- page 68, macromolecules- giant moles formed by the joining of smaller molecules, usually by a dehydration reaction. Polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids are macromolecules: macromolecules are classi ed into carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and polymers, polymer- long molecules consisting of many similar or identical building blocks linked by covalent bonds. Carbohydrates serve as fuel and building material (5. 2- page 69: carbohydrates- include both sugars and polymers of sugars. Such bonding reduces the number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon skeleton: plant and sh oils are liquid at room temperature like oleic acid (olive oil) Bio 191: hydrogenated vegetable oils are unsaturated fats that have been synthetically converted to saturated fats by adding hydrogen (ex. Which is a polymer of amino acids linked by these bonds.
