NATURAL POLYMERS – INDEPENDENT STUDY
As living things, we are a collection of complex organic molecules. Being made of over 70% water, the
problem of solubility is a serious one. Keep in mind how these organic molecules are structured to
enhance their solubility.
Use pages 124-127 to help you answer these questions in your notes. Be sure to use
complete sentences and diagrams to help summarize relevant information.

20 common amino acids
found in proteins, each
with a different side group.
Proteins
As described earlier in Section 1, a protein is a natural polymer that is composed of
monomers called amino acids. Proteins carry out many important functions in the
such as speeding up chemical reactions (enzymes), transporting oxygen in the blood
(hemoglobin), and regulating body responses (hormones). Figure 2.27 shows two of the
amide linkages form between amino acids to make proteins. The cell's DNA determines
the sequence of amino acids in proteins and this sequence determines the structure and
function of the protein.

DNA
DNA (short for deoxyribonucleic acid) is a biological molecule found in cell nuclei that
codes for the amino acid sequence in all proteins of an organism and ultimately controls
cellular development and function. Each strand of DNA is a polymer composed of
repeating units called nucleotides. As seen in Figure 2.28, nucleotides have three
sugar (labelled S), a phosphate group (P), and a cyclic organic molecule containing nitrogen
known as a nitrogenous base. Through condensation polymerization, the
nucleotide is linked to the phosphate group of the next to form a strand of DNA.
