Biology In this essay I will be writing about the structure and the function of biochemical monomers and how they are related to one another, and how they are formed at macromolecular level. These include carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are all known as organic molecules, this is because they are living organisms, which contain carbon. The carbon atom is very unusual, as it is able to bond with other carbon atoms, as well as with other elements. Due to this many organic molecules are very large and are know as macromolecules. The smaller organic molecules are known as monomers and can join together to from polymers. Condensation The two monomers join to from a polymer and a water molecule is removed. Hydrolysis The polymer is broken down and a water molecule is added. Carbohydrates A Carbohydrates molecule...
