1. Biomolecule and Dehydration Synthesis

2. Protein Elements: C, H, O, and N Examples: meat, dairy, chicken, eggs
Function: growth and repair of tissues, form enzymes
Monomer: Amino Acids

3. Carbohydrate Elements: C, H, O with 2 H for each O
Examples: Table sugar (sucrose), blood sugar (glucose), fruit sugar (fructose), Starch
Function: Short term energy for the body
Monomer: Monosaccharides
Types: Monosaccharides (glucose), disaccharides (sucrose), polysaccharides (starch)

4. Lipid Elements: C, H, O Examples: Fats, oils, waxes
Function: Energy storage for the body, build cell membranes
Monomer: fatty acids and glycerol
Types: Saturated and Unsaturated

5. Nucleic acid Elements: C, H, O, N, and P Examples: DNA and RNA
Function: Store genetic information, used in protein synthesis
Monomer: Nucleotides (A, T, G, C, U)

7. Dehydration Synthesis
Polymers are built from monomers by the removal of a water molecule

9. Lipids are made when a water molecule is removed from fatty acid and glycerol, which connects these monomers together.
Monosaccharides (monomer) are used to build carbohydrates (polymers) through dehydration synthesis.
After removing water, amino acids connect to build a protein.
Nucleotides (monomer) come together to build DNA or RNA (polymer) through the removal of a water molecule.
Fatty acid and glycerol Carbohydrate
Lipid Amino acid
Monosaccharide Nucleic acid
Protein Nucleotide
Examples:
YOUR TURN!
Think about what putting the skittles together represents (what is the name of the process).
Use the word bank to create a sentence describing how each biomolecule is formed through dehydration synthesis.

10. DIGESTION IS AN EXAMPLE OF HYDROLYSIS!
HYDROLYSIS: Polymers are broken into monomers by adding a water molecule.

12. Lipids are broken into fatty acids and glycerol when water is added.
Carbohydrates (polymer) are broken into monosaccharides (monomers) through hydrolysis.
After adding a water, protein is broken into amino acids.
Nucleotides (monomer) are broken from a DNA or RNA (polymer) through the addition of a water molecule.
