- Condensation Polymers and Naturally Occurring
- What are CP
- contains monomers with different functional groups
- for each bond that forms a small molecule like water is lost
- boxes represent carbon chain
- Difference between AP and CP
- only one monomer type containing C=C bond
- 2 monomer types each containing 2 of the same functional groups
- only one product formed
- 2 product - polymer and small molecule formed.
- Carbon- carbon double bond in monomer
- 2 reactive groups on each monomer.
- Drawing repeat units
- pick 2 adjaecent monomers
- draw brackets around them so the bond passes through each bracket.
- write letter n on the right to show large number
- Amino Acids
- contains amino group NH2 and an acid carboxyl group (COOH)
- example is glycine
- Proteins
- polymers of amino acids
- called polypeptides via CP
- amino group reacts with the acid group and water molecule is lost.
- order of amino acids gives proteins different properties.
- called polypeptides via CP
- uses
- hemoglobin transports oxygen
- catslysts
- antibodies
- polymers of amino acids
- DNA
- 2 polymer chains called nucleotides
- each contain a small molecule called a base
- 4 different bases known from A G C T
- order of bases acts as a code for genes
- 2 polymer chains called nucleotides
- Simple sugars
- monomer glucose
- What are CP
