Question

Describe the properties of the monomers and the type of bonds that connect the monomers in biological macromolecules. Structure and function of polymers are derived from the way their monomers are assembled.

Answer 1

Answer:

Peptidic bond (proteins), glycosidic bond (carbohydrates) and lipid bond (lipids)

Explanation:

1. Peptidic bond: this type of bond is exclusive for the aminoacids. These monomers create bonds between the carboxylic acid of first and the amino grupo of second (like a acid-base reaction). We have notice, some aminoacids monomers have groups acid or amino into the primary ramification, it groups cannot react to form peptidic bons.

2. Glycosidic bond: principally, this bond is form between the carbon alpha of one monomer (monosaccharide) and one hidroxyle group (-OH) of other monomer. The number of the cabron that has the -OH grupo will bring the name to the bond, for example, "glucose 1-4 fructose". Also, we have a direction of the bond before the firs number, alpha or beta, it depends on the geometry of the monomer.

3. Lipidic bond: usually, it bond type is a coballent and create an anphipathic zone, this is why some lipis are not soluble in water
