A bond is called this when two amino acids bond together
Dehydration synthesis is the process where this happens
What is water is removed from a molecule to create a bond?
The process where water is added and a bond is broken

The function of carbs
What is short term energy for the body to harvest in the near future?
The difference between exergonic and endergonic reactions
Endergonic- building bonds requires energy (ex. dehydration synthesis),
Exergonic- breaking bonds does not require energy (ex. hydrolysis, digestion)
