11. Describe the effects of changing or adding a functional group to a hydrocarbon.
Gives the molecule different chemical properties. For example, it can change it from a liquid to a gas or it can change it from being hydrophilic to hydrophobic. If the chemical properties change, so does its biological function.
12. Circle and label the functional groups present in the molecule picture below. amino carboxyl
13. The process below is Hydrolysis.
For the following statements, indicate if it is describing dehydration synthesis (D) or hydrolysis (H).

14. Water is used to break bonds between monomers.
H
15. Water breaks up, forming –H and –OH groups on separate monomers. H
16. Connects monomers to form a polymer. D
17. How many water molecules are formed when linking 10 monomers together? 9
18. The building blocks of polymers are called monomers
19. Large molecules built by linking repeating subunits are called polymers
20. Both dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis require enzymes to be present to speed up (catalyze) the chemical reaction.
