  • Biological Molecules 3.1
    • Monomers and polymers 3.1.1
      • Polymers
        • Composed of long chains of monomers joined together
          • Monomers
            • Amino acids
            • Small, basic molecular units
            • Monosaccharides
              • Simplest sugars
                • Carbohydrates
                  • Contain elements C, H and O
              • e.g. glucose, fructose, galactose
                • Glucose (Hexose sugar)
                  • Alpha  (?)
                  • Beta (?)
              • Dissacharide formation
                • Condensation reaction
                  • Glycosidic bond
                    • A molecule of water released
            • e.g. Nucleotides
        • Large, complex molecules
        • Making polymers
          • Condensation reaction
            • Forms chemical bond between monomers
              • releasing a molecule of water
        • Breaking down polymers
          • Hydrolysis
            • breaks chemical bond using water molecule
  • Monomers
    • Amino acids
