Lesson 3: Intro to Biological Macromolecules
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Contrast the chemical mechanisms of dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions in the continuous formatting and breaking down of biological polymers.
How does the addition or removal of a water molecule change the structural integrity of a polymer?
If a cell has a mutation that prevents it from performing dehydration synthesis, what immediate impacts will this have on cellular growth?
1.3 Intro to Biological Macromolecules
Monomers join together to form polymers through highly specific chemical reactions.
