Organic molecules are fundamental to various biochemical processes, with key examples including lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Lipids serve primarily as energy storage molecules, composed of chains of hydrogen and carbon.

Organic Molecules

Proteins

There are glycerol and starch
Proteins are made up of nucleic acids

Carbohydrates

Hydrophilic
Examples -
Function - Energy source
Structure = 1C - 2O - 1C
Its monomer is glucose and its polymer is a polysaccharide
O, C, H

Nucleic Acids

Lipids

Subtopic
Function - energy source
3 chains of H and C
Subunits -
O, H , C

Carbon

Digestion and synthesis is the breaking down of larger molecules making them smaller
When a new bond is made energy is released
To have one polymer you have many monomers
Hydrophilic carbons have a tendency to mix with other substances
Functional groups of carbon are hydroxyl, carbonyl, and amino
Hydrocarbon are compounds we use in our life for energy
All organic compounds have carbon
Steriods are organic because they have carbon in it
4 valance electrons
