Condensation & Hydrolysis
The putting together and taking apart of molecules!!
Section 1 Carbon CompoundsChapter 3
Large Carbon Molecules
• Condensation reactions join monomers (small simple molecules) to form polymers. A condensation reaction releases water as a by-product.
• In a hydrolysis reaction, water is used to split polymers into monomers.
CondensationThe connecting of monomers into polymers.

Pop Quiz, Hot Shots!
Simple sugars to carbohydrates = Condensation
Nucleotides to nucleic acids = Condensation
Amino acids to proteins = Condensation
Lipids to fatty acids = Hydrolysis
Condensation and Hydrolysis are powered by enzymes!
Proteins that speed up biological reactions (act like catalysts)
The Official Condensation Reaction Definition
An enzyme-mediated reaction leading to the covalent linkage of small molecules and the formation of water as a by-product.
Director of Biochemistry
Condensation Step By Step:1. One monomer loses a H+ and the other loses a OH- group with the help of an enzyme.

2. The two monomers are covalently joined.3. The H+ and OH- removed in step one form water.

The End Result:
This reaction produces a polymer which can be anywhere from three monomers to millions of monomers in size!!
The Official Hydrolysis Reaction Definition
An enzyme-mediatedreaction in whichcovalent bonds break,splitting a molecule intwo or more parts withH+ and OH- (derivedfrom water) becomingattached to the exposedbonding sites.

Summing UpSumming Up
•Condensation Condensation connects things connects things together.together.
•Hydrolysis breaks Hydrolysis breaks things apart.things apart.
