    The document describes four types of linkages that can form from functional group reactions: ether linkages, ester linkages, anhydride linkages, and phosphate ester linkages. Enzymes catalyze the reactions that form these linkages between molecules. The linkages allow for more complex molecules to be formed from simpler precursors.
