Sept 8 to 16, 2025 : Biomolecules.

 lecture on biomolecules here:  Please review the notes on Carbohydrates and Proteins

Biomolecules Notes  

And here are some summary notes reviewing the same content describing the monomers and polymers that can form through dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis . your teacher will review these concepts over a few days

Biomolecules Summary Notes     

After reading these notes, work on this worksheet on biomolecules . The answers to these questions begin on page 8 of the Biomoledules Summary Notes in the chapter called  BIOCHEMISTRY AND CELL COMPOUNDS


We will spend a few days on this important topic and then you will get a test. 

At the end of this unit you can do these review questions .  Our test will include these questions

Review Questions and Their Answers 

in addition, i mentioned in class that you ought to be able to

1. draw each kind of monomer: an amino acid, a monosaccharide, a nucleotide.  Draw an example of an amino acid (glutamate)

2. draw the hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis of monomers , like amino acids making a peptide bond

3.  identify different kinds of biomolecules if you see them 


Memory tricks to remember hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis.  I gave you new lyrics for this abba song.
