Chapter 3, Problem 5RQ
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The differences between hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis and the examples of substances formed by these reactions and specific reaction in each type.
Introduction:
Biological molecules can be defined as the molecules which are synthesized by living organisms. Almost all the biological molecules are comprised of a carbon atom. As a consequence of the chemical properties of biological molecules, they interact in complex methods. All the biological molecules except lipids are
