  • Monomers and polymers
    • polymers are made of monomers
      • amino acids make proteins
      • glucose (monosaccharide) makes starch
      • glycerol and fatty acids (not really a monomer) make lipids
    • bonds formed through condensation reactions
      • 1,4 and 1,6 glycosidic bonds
      • peptide bonds
      • ester bonds
      • creates one water molecule per bond
    • bonds are broken through hydrolysis reactions
      • the adding of a water molecule
