what is a monomer
building blocks of macromolecules
whats a peptide bond
a bond created between two substrates by an enzyme
what is the purpose of enzymes
to speed up biological reactions
what is a polysaccaride?
many sugar molecules bonded together
why cant you change the structure of an amino acid
it will change its function
whats a polymer
multiple monomers put together
what is dehydration synthesis
when water is removed and a bond is formed.
what is an exergonic reaction
one that breaks apart substrates
what are 3 polysaccaride examples
