 organic compound | a molecule with a skeleton made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms |
| carbon; 4 | ____________ can form the greatest number of molecules than any other element because of the ______ valence electrons |
| strong | Covalent bonding is relatiely strong or weak? |
| Single covalent bonds are flexible and double or triple covalent bonds are stronger, but rigid | What is the difference between single covalent bonds and double or triple covalent bonds? |
| carbon backbone | very large molecules can be formed with this element |
| hydrocarbon | this consists only of hydrogen and carbon |
| CH4 | What is the simplest and one of the longer hydrocarbon chains? |
| glucose | an organic molecule composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and is represented as a ring structure |
| isomers | compounds that have the same molecular formula, but different structural formulas |
| glucose and fructose (C6H2O6) | What is an example of some isomers? |
| macromolecules | large molecules produced by linking small organic compounds |
| Lipids, Proteins, Carbohydrates, and Nucleic Acids | What are the 4 major classes of organic compounds? |
| monosaccharides | What is the monomer for carbohydrates? |
| disaccharides and polysaccharides | What is the polymer for carbohydrates? |
| glycerol and fatty acids | What is the monomer for lipids? |
| mono,di,triglycerides and phospholipids | What is the polymer for lipids? |
| amino acids | What is the monomer for proteins? |
| peptides, polypeptides, proteins | What is the polymer for proteins? |
| nucleotides | What is the monomer for nucleic acids? |
| nucleic acids DNA and RNA | What is the polymer for nucleic acids? |
| condensation reaction (dehydration synthesis) | a molecule of water is removed or taken out form a new bond which results in covalent linkage |
| hydrolysis | a molecule of water is added to break the bond down |
| carbohydrates | has a 1C:2H:1O ratio |
| carbohydrates | the most abundant group of organic compounds on earth |
| carbohydrates | function as cellular fuels, energy storage |
| 1.) monosaccharides 2.) disaccharides 3.) polysaccharides | What are the three subclasses of carbohydrates? |
| monosaccharides | contains 3 to 7 carbon atoms and consists of the pentose and hexose sugars |
| disaccharides | formed when two monosaccharides combine |
| maltose | glucose + glucose |
| lactose | glucose + galactose |
| sucrose | glucose + fructose |
| polysaccharides | the most abundant type of carbohydrate |
| polysaccharides | straight or branched long-chain macromolecules |
| starch, glycogen, and cellulose | What are the three types of polysaccharides? |
| starch | a polymer of 2 glucose used by plants for energy storage |
| glycogen | a different type of a polymer used by animals for energy storage |
| cellulose | a plymer of b glucose, a plant structural component and is the most abundant type of carbohydrate |
| lipids | fats that consist of mainly Carbon and Hydrogen with a few oxygen. They are hydrophobic and hydrophilic and are heterogeneous. |
| neutral fats, phospholipids, cartenoids, and steroids | What are the 4 subclasses of lipids? |
| energy storage | What are the function of lipids? |
| fatty acids | long unbranched hydrocarbon chains with a COOH group of one end before condensation. They provide more energy because of the C-H bond |
| R-COOH | the general structure of a fatty acid |
| phospholipids | ampiphatic lipids that consists of a glycerol, 2 fatty acids, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen containing organic base, and is composed of C, H, O, N, and P |
