Presentation Transcript

  1. Biochemistry Organic compounds contain carbon ex: glucose C6H12O6 Inorganic compounds don’t contain carbon ex: water H2O

  2. Macromolecules: large molecules made of simpler moleculesMonomers – small molecules which link together to form polymers Polymers – large molecules made of chains of monomers

  3. Dehydration Synthesis: combining monomers to make polymers by removing water

  4. Hydrolysis: breaking apart polymers by adding water

  5. ATP - adenosine triphosphate:molecule which stores energy for cells • breaking off the 3rd phosphate releases energy • putting the 3rd phosphate back on stores energy
