Presentation on theme: "The molecules that form life."— Presentation transcript:

1 The molecules that form life.
Polymers – the Chains of Life

2 Monomers Basic units of biomolecules All four biomolecules Can be chained together to make more complex biomolecules

3 Polymer A molecule made of many monomers bonded together.
DNA and RNA are both polymers. “Sugar” or sucrose is a polymer of glucose.

4 Making and Breaking Polymers
By “making water” we can join two monomers together Dehydration By adding water we can break that molecule apart Hydrolysis

5 Vocabulary Polymer Monomer Hydrolysis Dehydration Polymerization
