Document Summary
The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gather knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. Four monomers are joined to form a polymer, as a result 3 molecules of water are produced. A polysaccharide (carbohydrate) made from 5 glucose molecules joined together would have the molecular formula c30 h52 o26 because when you bind you must remove 4 h2o molecules. Carbohydrates and fatty acids normally do not contain nitrogen: proteins made of amino acids and amino acids have nitrogen, nucleic acids have nitrogenous bases, nucleic acids and lipids can contain phosphorous. All about shape; has a specific 3d shape: primary 1 . A description of the covalent bonds and the sequence of amino acids in a protein; very strong: secondary 2 . Largely stabilized by hydrogen bonds: tertiary 3 . Largely stabilized by weak bonds (hydrogen, hydrophobic interactions: quaternary 4 (some have four, all have at least 3) 3d pattern of joining several different polypeptide chains.
