| dehydration and condensation | chemically join 2 molecule with one less h20 |
| hydrolysis | splitting of ploysaccharide into monosaccharide with consumption of wate |
| PROTEIN IS MADE OF | CARBON,HYDROGEN,OXYGEN,NITROGEN |
| PROTEIN MAKES UP | SKIN,MUSCLE,CATALYST,GROWTH AND REPAIR |
| PROTEIN FUNCTION AS | CARRIER MOLECULE,ENZYME,IMMUNITY,RECEPTORS |
| HOW MANY DIFFERENT AMONO ACIDS | TWENTY |
