| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| dehydration synthesis VS hydrolysis: | dehydration synthesis: monomers are joined together to form polymers hydrolysis: polymers are broken down into monomers |
| polar covalent bonds: | -shared unequally around a molecule (w/ charge) -leads to hydrogen bonds |
| hydrogen bonds: | weak attraction between molecules (ex: H2O) |
| nonpolar covalent bonds: | shared equally (no charge) |
| ionic bonds: | electrons are transferred to make a full valence shell. ex: NaCl (sodium + chlorine = table salt) |
| hydrophobic vs hydrophillic: | phobic/nonpolar: repels water, tails phillic/polar: attracts water, head if the cell membrane dissolved, there's no protection = death |
| polymer: | long molecule made up of monomers |
| monomer: | serve as the building block for polymers |
