- Carbohydrates etc.
- Condensation Reaction: Joining of two monomers, to form a polymer, release a water molecule.
- Hydrolysis: Breaking down of a polymer to a monomer, using a water molecule.
- Diasaccharides
- Glucose + Glucose = Maltose
- Glucose + Galactose = Lactose
- Glucose + Fructose = Sucrose
- Polysaccrides
- Starch: amylose (long chains, helix, compact) amylopectin (branched, straight) alpha glucose, insoluble
- Glycogen: shorter chains, highly branched, insoluble, alpha glucose
- Cellulose: beta glucose, hydrogen bonds, microfibrils, straight, unbranched
