ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Chapter 2 Section 3

Organic Compounds are made mostly of carbon atoms most molecules with carbon are organic

exception: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide Carbon has 4 valence electrons so readily

forms 4 covalent bonds

Organic Compounds

CARBOHYDRATES COMPOSED OF : C, H, Oin ratio of: 1:2:1

Functions: *Energy Source

Simple carbohydrates

Energy storage Complex

carbohydrates Structural

materials Cell surface

markers

Carbohydrates exist as: SIMPLE

MONOSACCHARIDES GLUCOSE FRUCTOSE GALACTOSE

DISACCHARIDES SUCROSE

glucose & fructose MALTOSE

glucose &glucose LACTOSE

glucose & galactose

COMPLEX POLYSACCHARIDES

Made of 3 or more monosaccharides

ANIMALS: GLYCOGEN LIVER

PLANTS: STARCH CELLULOSE (wood)

GLUCOSE

GLYCOGEN

CELLULOSE

PROTEINS are large organic molecules composed

mainly of : C, H, O, N (a little S)

Building blocks are AMINO ACIDS ALL SHARE SAME BASIC STRUCTURE

Amino Acids Side Groups:

Provide different shape Polar or Nonpolar

Functions of Proteins Structural Proteins

Hair, nails, hooves Transport Proteins

Carry molecules through blood that otherwise would not be soluble in blood

Carry ions or molecules across membranes Enzymes

Catalyze all chemical reactions in body Specific to a single chemical reaction

Muscles Actin, myosin in all 3 muscle types

Peptide Bonds Form when 2

amino acids join in a synthesis reaction (condensation)

Types of Proteins Dipeptides A + B AB

Polypeptides Long chains of

amino acids In large proteins 2

to 4 polypeptide chains fold together Interact through

hydrogen bonds or disulfide bridges

Protein Shape Determines function Influenced by:

Temperature pH Solvent

Lipids C H O NOT a polymer long chains of carbon – carbon bonds with

hydrogen; oxygen at end of molecule called fatty acids

LIPIDS are large, nonpolar organic molecules include:

Triglycerides Cholesterol Phospholipids Steroids Waxes Pigments

Fatty Acids Unbranched

carbon chains that make up most lipids one end has a

carboxyl group so is hydrophilic

other end is hydrocarbon so is hydrophobic

Saturated Fatty Acids each C has only

single covalent bonds

Unsaturated Fatty Acids some C atoms have

double covalent bonds which put kinks in the chain

Fatty Acids

Triglycerides composed of 3

molecules of fatty acid joined to 1 molecule of glycerol

high melting points (solids at room temperature)

butter, fat in red meat

Phospholipids have 2 fatty acid

chains attached to a molecule of glycerol

plus a phosphate group attached to the 3rd carbon in glycerol

makes up most of cell membrane in a lipid bilayer are nonpolar so keeps

most polar substances from crossing membrane

Waxes are a structural

lipid made of long fatty

acid chain with a long alcohol chain

are waterproof so act as protective layer in plants & animals

Steroids composed of 4

fused carbon rings with various functional groups attached

includes many hormones Testosterone Estrogen Progesterone Adrenal hormones

NUCLEIC ACIDS very large, complex organic molecules

subunit: nucleotides C H O N P

function: Store & transfer genetic information

examples: DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid

Genetic code Essential for making proteins

RNA: ribonucleic acid Produce proteins Few act like enzymes

Nucleotides 3 parts:1. 5 carbon sugar

RNA: ribose DNA: deoxyribose

2. Phosphate group (- charge)3. Nitrogenous base

NUCLEIC ACIDS DNA RNA
