9. Chemical reactions can also ________ molecules apart. ______________ = kind of chemical reaction in which a molecule is broken apart by addinga________ molecule. “_____” = water “_____” = break apart break HYDROLYSIS WATER hydro lysis See an animation http://trc.ucdavis.edu/biosci10v/bis10v/media/ch02/reaction_types.html

10. opposite HYDROLYSIS is the _________ of DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS. Adding a water molecule breaks the bond. http://www.usd116.org/apalla/biology/unit3/notes/3notes1.htm

11. http://student.ccbcmd.edu/biotutorials/energy/adpan.html ATP is the energy molecule used by all cells. Breaking a bond using hydrolysis is the way ENERGY is released. More on this is Chapters 7, 8,& 9

12. use BOTH Living things _______ of these kinds of _______ (and MORE) to get the _______they need. reactions materials http://www.animationlibrary.com http://www.cibike.org/CartoonEating.gif

14. Group Activity • You will receive pieces to make a monomer. • All monomers will be joined together to form a polymer. Macromolecules are formed by joining smaller compounds together. Polymers – monomers joined together Monomers – smaller units
