2. Terminology: use your understanding of prefixes and root words to make sense of the following:
Monomers:
Polymers:
Dehydration synthesis:
Hydrolysis:

3. Terminology: use your understanding of prefixes and root words to make sense of the following:
Monomers: (mono- one) – this is the term we use to call the general building blocks of each biomolecule.
Polymers: (poly- many)- this is a general term we use to indicate the chain of monomers strung together
Dehydration synthesis: dehydration (de-without) (hydro- water) (synthesis- building)- this is the term used to explain the process of building of polymers from monomer units by taking away water.
Hydrolysis: (hydro- water) (lysis- breaks apart)- this is the term used to explain the process of breaking down polymers into monomers by adding water.

4. CHEMISTRY REVISTED: Which elements do the following functional groups contain:
Hydroxyl group-
Carboxyl group-
Amino group-
How many bonds do the following elements make:
Hydrogen- Carbon-
Oxygen- Nitrogen-

5. CHEMISTRY REVISTED: Which elements do the following functional groups contain:
Hydroxyl group- Hydrogen & Oxygen
Carboxyl group- Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen
AmiNo group- Nitrogen, Hydrogen
How many bonds do the following elements make:

6. Activity: Biomolecules Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins & Nucleic Acids
DO NOW: What do you know about:
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Nucleic Acids
All of these are ORGANIC. What does that mean?
Are they living or nonliving? How do you know (what are the characteristics of life)?
What role do they have in the body?
Why do you think they are considered biomolecules?
What do they look like? (Structurally) and how is their structure related to their function? 

7. ORGANIC BIOMOLECULES & Living/Nonliving
Organic means: THEY CONTAIN CARBON.
AND THEY ARE CONSIDERED…….NONLIVING
WHY?????
Because they don’t show all characteristics of life:
Cells - growth - reproduction - heredity (DNA/RNA)
Evolve - reponse to stimuli - homeostasis
