1. are single-molecule sugars
2. are the basic building blocks of living things
3. bonds connect the amino group of one amino acid to the acid group of another amino acid.
4. compounds are made by living things and always contain carbon
5. forms the backbone of organic compounds
6. have the same molecular formula but different structures
7. is the most important inorganic compound
8. reactions break down polymers into monomers
9. release hydrogen ions in water and have a low pH.
10. release hydroxide ions (OH) and have a high pH.
11. saccharides (starches) are many-molecule sugars
12. A is made of 3 or more amino acids joined together
13. A is made of two amino acids joined together
14. A , or dehydration synthesis, reaction is a reaction that joins two monomers and releases a molecule of water.
15. A pH of is neutral
16. A substance that controls the rate of a reaction without being affected by the reaction is called a .
17. The acid group in an amino acid is the group.
