Journal Entry:

Which of the following true statements most accurately describes the process represented in the diagram?

(A) A relatively small number of kinds of molecular building blocks can create a very large variety of polymers.

(B) Connections between molecules can be created by dehydration reaction in which water is a product.

(C) Complex carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids can be formed from condensation reactions between their respective monomers.

(D) The three-dimensional shape of a polymer is directly determined by the specific sequence of monomers that compose it.

Learning Intentions

• You can identify the functional groups that are used to make the monomers for the biological molecules.

• You can describe or draw the structure and properties of the functional groups.

• You can analyze what functional groups are found in which monomers.

• You can classify/organize the monomers for the different biological molecules based on elements, functional groups and structure found in each.

• You can identify the important structural components for the monomers that become the 4 biological molecules.
