====Forming Polysaccharides====
: The '''condensation polymerisation''' [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]] of [[monosaccharide]]s [[product|produces]] a [[polysaccharide]] and [[Water]].
: The [[monosaccharide]] [[glucose]] can [[Chemical Bond|bond]] in a '''condensation polymersiation''' [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]] to [[product|produce]] [[starch]] or [[glycogen]].
====Forming Proteins (Higher)====: '''Condensation polymerisation''' [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]] of [[Peptide]]s ([[Amino Acid]]s ) [[product|produce]] [[Polypeptide]]s ([[Protien]]s) and [[Water]].
: Each [[Amino Acid]] has an NH<sub>2</sub> [[Functional Group|group]] which acts as a [[base]] and an -COOH [[Functional Group|group]] which acts as an [[acid]]. These [[Functional Group|functional groups]] [[Chemical Reaction|react]] to [[Product|produce]] [[Polypeptide]]s and [[Water]].
Peptide + Peptide → Dipeptide + Water
<chem>H2NCH2COOH + H2NCH2COOH -> H2NCH2COONHCH2COOH + H2O</chem>
Dipeptide + Peptide → Tripeptide + Water
<chem>H2NCH2COONHCH2COOH + H2NCH2COOH -> H2NCH2COONHCH2COONHCH2COOH + H2O</chem>
