Is Carbon stable with 4 electrons in its outer layer?
Is Hydrogen stable with 1 electron in its layer?
So what do atoms do when they are unstable?

Carbohydrates• Readily available food source• C1: H2: O1 ratio
– Ex: Glucose = C6 H12 O6
• Monomer: Monosaccharides– Simple sugars– Bond to form complex sugars
• Polymer: Polysaccharide– Complex sugars

How do the monosaccharides bond together?
Dehydration synthesis
Opposite Reactions
• Dehydration synthesis– Water molecule (H2O) removed– Causes monomers to bond into polymers (large molecules built)
Monomer 1 Monomer 2 Polysaccharide
water
Opposite Reactions
• Dehydration synthesis– Water molecule (H2O) removed– Causes monomers to bond into polymers (large molecules built)
• Hydrolysis– Water molecule (H2O) added– Causes polymers to break into monomers (large molecule broken
apart)• All organic molecules built/reduced by these reactions
