Making and Breaking Polymers https://i2.wp.com/www.logandrillinggroup.com/logangeotech/images/stories/img_environmental/polymers.jpg 1. How do we make a polymer from a monomer? _ 2. How do we break down a polymer? 3. : a chemical process where two smaller molecules are combined to make a larger molecule. Water is released and energy is stored in the newly formed chemical bonds. 4. _: A chemical process where a large molecule is broken down into smaller molecules. Water is required and energy is released. Digestion is a series of hydrolytic reactions. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/213_dehydration_synthesis_and_hydrolysis-01.jpg 17 P a g e

PHOSPHOLIPIDS Form the bilayer of the cell membrane. First line of defense for the cell. One glycerol, two fatty acids, and a phosphate. Hydrophobic tailsmade up of fatty acids and are afraid of water (nonpolar). Hydrophilic headsmade up of glycerol What if glucose is needed now? We make a polymer called (similar to starch, but only found in animals), which are repeating units or with lots of branches. _ and makes a BIG. Globby and branched= Enzymes attach to the ends and break down the glycogen into glucose= Where is glycogen found and where do you need it the most? 19 P a g e
Functions of Proteins 1. Catalyzing Enzymes Lowers activation energy: the amount of energy needed to get a reaction started. On-going. Never stop. Human enzymes work best at 98.6 F / 37C. Above 104 F enzymes can start to denature / fall apart. 2. Defensive Proteins- Ex- Antibodies attack viruses and bacteria. Ex- Fibrinogen is a protein that helps your blood to clot. 3. Storage Proteins- Bind with iron and calcium to provide nourishment for an organism. 4. Transport Proteins- Ex- Ex- 5. Support Proteins _ Ex- Keratin in your hair, skin, and nails. Ex-Fibrin- allows your blood to clot. Ex- Collagen and elastin are major components of connective tissue. 6. Motion Proteins 7. Messenger Proteins- Allow different cells to communicate. Examples: hormones (regulate body functions) such as Insulin (regulates glucose levels) 20 P a g e
