Condensation reaction

The video explains condensation reactions, where smaller molecules like water are eliminated. It highlights the formation of large biological molecules through these reactions. Plants create starch by joining glucose molecules, eliminating water each time a glucose is added to the chain.

What is typically eliminated during a condensation reaction?

• Oxygen

• Carbon dioxide

• Water

• Nitrogen

Which type of reaction is responsible for forming large biological molecules?

• Condensation

• Hydrolysis

• Reduction

• Oxidation

What do plants store for future energy needs?

• Starch

• Lipids

• Nucleic acids

• Proteins

What is eliminated each time a glucose molecule is added to a starch chain?

• Water

• Oxygen

• Hydrogen

• Carbon dioxide

How do plants form starch?

• By breaking down proteins

• By converting lipids

• By absorbing sunlight

• By joining glucose molecules
