What macromolecule will 15 molecules of glucose make?
Fifteen molecules of glucose can be used to form polysaccharides, specifically starch or glycogen, through a process called polymerization. In this process, the individual glucose molecules undergo dehydration synthesis, where water is removed to link them together. The resulting macromolecule will consist of a long chain of glucose units, serving as an energy storage form in plants (starch) or animals (glycogen).
Can enzymes catalyze dehydration synthesis?
Yes, enzymes can catalyze dehydration synthesis. Dehydration synthesis is a chemical reaction in which two molecules covalently bond together with the loss of a water molecule. Enzymes such as polymerases, ligases, and synthetases facilitate this reaction by bringing the molecules together in the correct orientation and providing the necessary environment for the reaction to occur.
What types of molecules are bonded covalently?
neutral molecules, atomes with similar electronegativity range
What are large molecules made up of smaller molecules?
The answer is polymer. Could also be referring to Macromolecule
What type of macromolecule is lactose and what is the monomer of that macromolecule?
Lactose is not a macromolecule. It is a disaccharide, that is one molecule of lactose is formed by the elimination of water between two simple sugar molecules, in this case galactose and glucose. Lactose can be made to link up into medium chain molecules, but this is a fairly random process and produces a mixture of products which are not digestible.
When a bond forms between units of a macromolecule a water molecule is lost what is this process called?
dehydration
What two processes are necessary to build or separate macromolecules?
The two processes necessary to build or separate macromolecules are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis. Dehydration synthesis involves removing water molecules to bond monomers together and form a larger macromolecule. Hydrolysis involves adding water molecules to break down a macromolecule into individual monomers.
Is hydrolysis the synthesis of giant molecules from components of repeating units?
No, hydrolysis is the breakdown of giant molecules into their component units by the addition of water molecules. The opposite process, where giant molecules are synthesized from repeating units, is known as condensation or dehydration synthesis.
Can enzymes catalyze dehydration synthesis?
Yes, enzymes can catalyze dehydration synthesis. Dehydration synthesis is a chemical reaction in which two molecules covalently bond together with the loss of a water molecule. Enzymes such as polymerases, ligases, and synthetases facilitate this reaction by bringing the molecules together in the correct orientation and providing the necessary environment for the reaction to occur.
All organic compounds are covalently bonded?
No, not all organic compounds are covalently bonded. Organic compounds can have a variety of bonds, including covalent, ionic, and metallic bonds. Covalent bonds are the most common in organic molecules, but there are exceptions.
What types of molecules are bonded covalently?
neutral molecules, atomes with similar electronegativity range
Which is a protein of a protein macromolecule?
Transporting other molecules in the body.
Do covalent bonds hold organic molecules together?
Yes. Organic molecules are covalently bonded.
What are Giant organic molecules made of small molecules linked together?
it is a polymer or another name is macromolecule
How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions related?
dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules. hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.
What is the name of the units that make up covalently bonded compounds?
I do think that they are molecules.
Are the covalently bonded molecules crystalline?
Not necessarily. Covalently bonded molecules can form both crystalline and amorphous structures depending on factors like the molecular shape, size, and interactions between the molecules. Some covalently bonded molecules can arrange themselves in a crystalline lattice, while others may form amorphous solids with no long-range order.
