What is biochemistry???
Bio chemistryThe study of matter and the changes in matter
Pertaining to life
ProteinsCarbohydrates Lipids
Nucleic Acids
• Hydrolysis: Breaks apart the polymer into monomers
• Water needed to break the bond
• Dehydration Synthesis: AKA: Polymerization
• Links the monomers together to form the polymer
• Produces water
What do monomers look like?• Hydrocarbon: Molecule containing Hydrogen and Carbon
Ethane
Ethene
EthyneUnsaturated
Saturated
Substituted Hydrocarbon
• Hydroxyl -OH• Add –ol suffix to name• Creates an alcohol• Used to disinfect or as a
fuel
Methanol
Methane
• Carboxyl Group -COOH• Creates a carboxylic
acid or organic acid• Found in citrus fruits,
