Kaylee
Name of group: Carbohydrates
This group is recognized by: "Ring" shape- CHO
Composed of these elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
The monomers are: Simple sugars, monosacchanrides
Examples include: sugars, starch, cellulose
Functions or use in cells: Starch- plants to store energy Glycogen- animals to store energy Cellulose- form cell walls in plants Chitin- for, exoskeletons( quick energy)
Organic Compounds
​​
Name of group: Triglyceride Lipids
This group is recognized by: CHO Non polar
Composed of these elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
The monomers are: Fatty acids and Glycerol
Examples include: fat, oil, phospholipids, steroids
Functions or use in cells: Long term source of energy. Insulates body and water proof on leaves "wax structure componet of cell membrane"
​
Organic compounds are any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen. The four groups of organic compunds are carbohydrates, lipids, protein, nucleic acids.
What are Organic Compounds?
C
R
Carbon: main element in living things
Organic Compound: compound found in living things , consists of 2 or more elements
Monomer: "Building Block" small molecules Polymer: " Macromolecule" Large Molecules Dehydration Reaction: Monomers joining together to create a polymer by removing water.
Hydrolysis: Polymer break down by adding water
H
Carbohydrates
Ending: -OSE
Monosaccharide: small repeating units, simple sugar the building block
EX: fructose + glucose
Disaccharide: 2 monosaccharide bonded together EX: sucrose , table sugar
Lipids
Saturated fatty acids: straight chain of carbon "solid room temp"
Insaturated fatty acids: bent chain of "carbon" becuase of double bond " liquid at room temp."
Name of group: Protein
This group is recognized by: CHON - Amino group and a Rgroup
Composed of these elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen
The monomers are: S Amino Acids= H20
Examples include: Enzymes, Mucles, nemoglobin, bone
Functions or use in cells: Keep call shape, transport materials, speed up chemical reaction -Enzyme target forgein substances + lables them for distruction
Protein
Order of amino acids
Determine 1) Shape of protein
2) Function of protein
Polypeptide: long chain of amino acids
Primary Structure: Sequence of amino acids
Secondary structure: Spirals +folds
Tertiary Structure: 3D complexe shape with function
Quatenary Structure: 2 complexe shapes
Name of group: Nucleic Acids
This group is recognized by: CHOP Phosphate, sugar
Composed of
these elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphate
The monomers are: Nucleotides Examples include: DNA, RNA, ATP
Functions or use in cells: DNA is the blue print, is the genetic material.
