Carbon Bonding
• Organic compounds contain carbon atoms and are
found in living things.
• Carbon atoms can readily form four covalent bonds
with other atoms including other carbon atoms.

Carbon Molecules
• Condensation reactions join monomers (small
simple molecules) to form polymers. A condensation
reaction releases water as a by-product.
• In a hydrolysis reaction, water is used to split
polymers into monomers.

Carbohydrates
• Monosaccharides
– Carbohydrates are made up of monomers called
monosaccharides.

Short Response, continued
Proteins are affected by environmental conditions
such as heat and pH.
Explain why the process of cooking an egg cannot be
reversed.
Answer:
The heat that is added to the egg changes the bonds
in the proteins and other molecules that make up the
egg to such a large extent that the original protein
shape can no longer be distinguished.

Answer:
Part A Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions that are
involved in important cell processes.
Part B Bonding of the substrates to enzymes causes a
slight change in the enzyme’s shape, thereby
weakening some of the bonds and lowering activation
energy.
