Monomers join together into polymers through a reaction
Dehydration synthesis
Another name for protein
types of polymers
monomers
# of different monomers
difference in monomers comes mainly from
Polypeptide
Many types
Amino acid

R-group
What are the primary, secondary, quanternary
Primary:the sequence of amino acids linked together in a protein
Secondary: Is a helix, or a pleated sheet
Quanternary: Multiple protein chains linked together
What are two differences between Inorganic and organic
Inorganic: Non-living matter,Ionic bonding is common, associated with +/- ions,small molecules with few atoms
Organic: Always contains carbon and hydrogen, often very large,covalent bonding living organisms
Refers to CO2 and all molecules without carbon
