For each of the macromolecule classes we discussed, polymeric molecules are created by the covalent linkage of monomers via dehydration reactions. For each of the following macromolecules, identify the name of the monomers it is made from, the specific region or group within the monomers that participate in covalent bond formation (e.g. carboxyl group, amino group in the case of amino acid linkage to form polypeptides), and the name of the covalent bond formed.
Macromolecule monomer Parts of monomer participating in covalent bond formation Name of the covalent bond formed
Proteins Amino acid carboxyl group / amino group
Nucleic Acids Nucleie acid
