Biochemistry

Organic compounds are typically compounds of biological origin that contain C-H & C-C bonds

Dehydration synthesis is when 2 monomers are bonded together by releasing a water molecule

Carbon is important for life because it's able to form many stable covalent bonds

Most large biological molecules are polymers, long chains made up of repeating molecular subunits, or building blocks, called monomers.

If you think of a/an monomer as being like a bead, then you can think of a/an polymer as being like a necklace, a series of beads strung together.
