Monomers and polymers

Respiratory substrates which provide energy for cells, also used for structure in cell membranes and cell walls in plants ( This means cellulose is a carbohydrate)

Can be use a respiratory substrates which provide energy for cells, form a bilayer in cell membranes and make up some hormones

Main component of many cellular structures, form enzymes and chemical messengers

Form polymers (DNA AND RNA) which make up the genetic of organisms. Code for the sequence of amino acids which make up all proteins

The same nucleic acid as genetic material and the same 20 amino acids to build proteins

Smaller units from which larger molecules (polymers) are made

A molecule made from lots of repeating units (polymers) joined together 😤

When two monomers join together with the formation of a covalent bond and involved the elimination of a water molecule (Water goes out hence the name CONDENSATION)

Breaks the covalent bond between two monomers and involves the use of a water molecule (Water is needed so it goes in) Hydro = Water , Lysis = Split

Carbohydrates , Proteins , Nucleic acid

Monosaccharides e.g glucose, fructose and galactose

Glycosidic bond

Polysaccharide (Glycogen , Cellulose and starch)

Amino acids

Peptide bond

Polypeptide (Enzymes, Antibodies, Haemogloblin )

Nucleotides

Phosphodiester bond (DNA and RNA)

Individual sugar molecule (monomer) that makes up disaccharides and polysaccharides

Two - Alpha and beta

ALPHA HOH BETA OHH

The main substrate for respiration (The monomers forming amylose and amylopectin and glycogen) Forms the polysaccharides starch and glycogen m

Forms the polysaccharide Cellulose

Found in nectar and many fruits . It helps to attract animal for pollination and fruit dispersal When combined with glucose it forms the disaccharide sucrose
