2.4 organic molecules Flashcards
primarily composed of
CHNOSP
organic molecules
examples of organic molecules
carbs
proteins
lipids
nucleic acids
specific group of atoms within organic molecules
functional groups
determines chemical properties and reactivity of organic molecules
functional groups
examples of functional groups
-OH
-COOH
-NH2
small molecule, joins together into polymers
monomers
large molecule composed of many repeating monomers linked by covalent bonds
polymer
compare inorganic material to organic material
organic molecules=more carbon + hydrogen bonds
inorganic don’t have many of those bonds
identify the role of a functional group
a specific group of atoms within a molecule that determines its chemical behavior
recognize how monomers are joined to form polymers
dehydration synthesis
rsults in a covalent bond btwn monomers
essential in forming proteins
