Organic Molecules

Carbon

4 valance electrons

All organic compounds have carbon

Steriods are organic because
they have carbon in it

Hydrocarbon are compounds we use in our life for
energy

Functional groups of carbon are hydroxyl, carbonyl, and
amino

Hydrophilic carbons have a tendency to mix with
other substances

To have one polymer you have many monomers

When a new bond is made energy is released

Digestion and synthesis is the breaking down of
larger molecules making them smaller

Lipids

O, H , C

Subunits -

3 chains of H and C

Function - energy source

Subtopic

Nucleic Acids

Carbohydrates

O, C, H

Its monomer is glucose and its polymer is a polysaccharide

Structure = 1C - 2O - 1C

Function - Energy source

Examples -

Hydrophilic

Proteins

Proteins are made up of nucleic acids

There are glycerol and starch
