What is a monomer ?
A single unit which is the most basic; a single sugar, a single amino acid or a glycerol or fatty acid.
What is a dimer?
Two monomers chemically bonded together.
What is a polymer?
A long chain of monomers chemically bonded together.
Anabolism
Building larger molecules ,a condensation reaction that requires energy, used in protein synthesis, DNA synthesis, photosynthesis.
Catabolism
Breaking down large molecules, hydrolysis reaction that releases energy, used in digestion of food, cellular respiration, digestion of complex compounds.
