a small molecule that is one of the units bonded together to form a polymer.
2 of 15
polymer
a large molecule made up of many/repeating similar smaller molecules (monomers) covalently bonded together.
3 of 15
condensation
a type of chemical reaction in which 2 molecules are joined together by means of a covalent bind to form a large molecule and at the same time a water molecule is released.
4 of 15
complementary
refers to structures that fit together because their shapes and/or charges match up.
5 of 15
hydrolysis
a reaction in which a molecule is broken down into smaller molecules by the addition of a water molecule and the breaking of a covalent bond.
6 of 15
ATP
a molecule used to store energy temporarily in organisms.
7 of 15
polynucleotide
a polymer consisting of many nucleotide monomers covalently bonded together.
8 of 15
nucleotide
the monomer used to form nucleic acid; made of pentose sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base.
9 of 15
deoxyribose
the 5-carbon sugar in DNA nucleotides.
10 of 15
