Structure & Function of Large Biological Molecules
Macromolecules are molecules that are very large.
Polymers are long molecules, consisting of many similar of identical building blocks.
Monomers are building blocks for similar small molecules.
Condensation reaction occurs when molecules are bonded covalently.
The Dehydration reaction is when molecules bond with former outer nucleolus.(water molecule lost)
Enzymes are macromolecules that speed up reactions in cells.
Monosaccharides: From Greek: Monos= One or single, Sacchar= Sugars
A Disaccharide is two monosaccharaides.
A Polysaccharide is a macromolecules polymers with few 100-1,000 macromolecules.
