In the wordle above containg vocab words are about biochemistry. A macromolecule is a giant molecule, whereas a polymer is a long molecule consisting of many similar or identical building blocks linked by covalent bond. The repeating units that serves as the building blocks of polymer are small molecules called monomers called monomers. The large molecule in three of the four classes of lifes organic compound are carbohydrate, protein, and nucleic acids. Monomers are connected by a reaction where two molecules are bonded to each other through loss of water molecule known as dehydration reaction because the molecule lost water. Polymers are disassembled to monomoers by hydroliosis that is a reverse process of dehydration reaction. Carbohydrate includes sugar and their polymers which is fuel and building material. Phospholipds are like fat but only has two fatty acid tail instead of three. Polymers of amino acids are called polypeptide. A protein consists of one or more polypeptides and folded. A catalyst is a chemical agent that changes the rate of a reaction without being changes whereas a enzyme is a catalytic protein. Without enzymes, metabolism would be hopelessly completed. Properties of chemical elementsare important to life and from the structure of atom. A atom consists of neutrons, protons, and electrons, the neutrons and protons are pack together which makes up the atomic nuclues leaving the electron orbiting it. The outer electron is known as valence electron. All of these words are related to chemical reactions in a living organisms.
