Understanding Amino Acid Polymers and Chemical Reactions in Biology

Explore the fundamental principles of chemical reactions involving amino acid polymers. Begin by documenting both the reactants and products of a reaction in your notebook, ensuring that the law of conservation is upheld. Analyze the reaction to determine if it involves building or breaking down molecules, and identify whether bonds are being formed or broken. Delve into the distinction between essential and nonessential amino acids and understand key processes like condensation and hydrolysis. For further learning, refer to the “Tree of Life” worksheet or online biology resources.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Please adhere the reaction to a fresh page in the input section of your notebook. Then… • Label the products and reactants sides of the reaction. • Is the law of conservation upheld? Explain. • Describe what is happening in the reaction. • Is something being built or broken down? • Are bonds being broken or formed? Where?

  2. Polymers of amino acids

  3. Polymers of amino acids 20 different kinds Essential vs “Nonessential”

  4. Condensation = dehydration synthesis reaction

  5. Hydrolysis

  6. So now… • Go back to your reaction and adjust it…

  7. Finish your table… • Either google “tree of life worksheet” (go to the url that starts www.concord.org) • OR…google “ck12 biology” and use ch. 2 of the online text • OR…get a textbook and start at page 55
