Explain the relationship between monomers and polymers and explain how these molecules are related to the "unity and diversity of life." Explain how monomers are linked together and how they are disassembled (include an illustration of each process) Use the diagram below and then answer the following questions. R OH **** H. OH N- N-C N-C-C ÓH O. OH H H. O. + 3H20 N-C H H H 1. What are the reactants? 2. What are the products? 3. Is the reaction a condensation reaction or hydrolysis? 4. Circle the peptide bonds. How many peptide bonds are present? 5. How many molecules of water are produced in order to form the peptide bonds? 6. If a protein contained 200 peptide bonds, how many molecules of water do you suppose would be required to break it down into its components? 7. What is the ratio of molecules of water to the number of peptide bonds?
