{Organic Chemistry
Macromolecule Fun!
Study of Carbon All compounds with bonds between Carbon
atoms Example of an organic compound:
Carbohydrate (C6H12O6) Example of an inorganic compound: Water
(H2O) NO CARBON PRESENT!
Elements that make up living things are: H, P, C, N, O, & S
Organic Chemistry
Is a VERY important element because it can, Bond to may different
elements Bond to itself (make long
chains) Make single, double, and
triple bonds
Carbon
Monomers: small units that make up much larger “macromolecules”
Polymers: monomers joined together
Polymerization: process of joining monomers into a polymer Dehydration (condensation)
reactions occur Video
Monomers and Polymers
Carbohydrates: Simple Sugar -> Starch
Lipids: Glycerol and fatty acids -> Fat or Lipid
Nucleic Acids: Nucleotide -> Nucleic Acid
Proteins: Amino Acid -> Polypeptide (protein)
Examples!
Primary Energy Source (Fuel for life!)
Composed of simple sugars and their polymers
Some Carbs are primarily for storage of energy Animals – Glycogen
Stored mainly in liver and muscle cells Plants – Starch
Can also be used for structure
Carbohydrates
Monomer – Monosaccharides, provide major nutrients for cells Simple Sugars
Disaccharide: 2 monosaccharides linked together
Polymer- Polysaccharide – multiple monosaccharides linked together
Carbohydrate
