Chemical Reactions Review2 Mg + O2 2 MgO
Was energy mostly released or absorbed? Is this reaction exergonic or endergonic? Why doesn’t this reaction occur on its
own?6 CO2 + 6 H2O C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Is energy mostly released or absorbed? Is this reaction exergonic or endergonic? Where does the absorbed energy go?
Condensation (dehydration) Monomers join to form polymers
Hydrolysis Polymers can be split into monomers

Hydrolysis1. Molecules separate2. Water lyses and occupies open bonds
CarbohydratesC, H, & O in 1:2:1 ratioOften in rings
or linked ringsMonosaccharide (simple sugar)
Carbohydrate monomer Glucose - Photosynthesis Fructose - Fruit Galactose - Milk
CarbohydratesPolysaccharide (sugars linked together) Cellulose - Plant cell walls, wood, cotton Starch - Plant energy storage
Lots of C, twice as much H, very little OHydrocarbon chains
Fatty acid (monomer)
Triglyceride (polymer) 3 fatty acids linked together Oil (liquid) - E storage Fat (solid) - E storage,
insulation, padding
Lipids
Nonpolar- Won’t dissolve in H2O
Polar- Will dissolve in H2O
=
LipidsSteroids (four carbon rings) Cholesterol, venoms, hormones
ProteinsC, H, O, N and sometimes SPeptide = Amino Acid = Protein Monomer
Over twenty varieties(Differ only in “radical” group)
