Biochemistry………………Monomers and Polymers
• What is biochemistry? The study of chemical process within living
things
• KEY POINT #1: A atom is the smallest unit of matter.
• The main atoms of life are:
»Carbon
»Hydrogen
»Nitrogen
»Oxygen
»Phosphorus
»Sulfur
• KEY POINT #2: Many of the molecules in cells are so
large that they are known as macromolecules.
MACROmolecule = Large molecule
Macromolecules are made from bonding of smaller
molecules.
Macromolecules can also be called biomolecules or
organic molecules.
• KEY POINT #3: A macromolecule is a polymer that
is formed when smaller units known as monomers
join together.
• Monomer = 1 part
• Polymer =many parts
KEY POINT #4: The monomers that combine to make
a polymer may be identical or different.
Monomers can be identical to each other such as
links on a metal watch.
Monomers can be different like beads in a
multicolored necklace.
• KEY POINT #5: The 4 major groups of
macromolecules found in living things are:
A. Carbohydrates
B. Proteins
C. Nucleic Acid
D. Lipids
Check Yourself

2.
Which of the following is a macromolecule?
Na2C4H2O2
C2H4F3O
C6H12O6P2
3.
Explain why the ones you circled above are considered macromolecules.
4.
Here are two types of monomers. Using these as building blocks, create three different polymers.
MONOMER #1:
MONOMER #2:
Polymer #1
Polymer #2
PARTNER CHECK: Explain why these are examples of a polymer.
