Biology II H Unit 3 Flashcards
Contain carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded to other atoms
Organic Molecules, Biomolecules, Macromolecules
4 types of organic molecules
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
Contain a total of 6 electrons, only 4 electrons in the outer shell, very divers as one atom can bond with up to y other atoms.
Carbon atoms
Carbon atoms bond with other carbon atoms.
hydrocarbons
Are clusters of specific atoms bonded to the carbon skeleton with characteristic structure and function. (determin polarity)
Functional Groups
organic molecules that have identical molecular formulas, but differing internal arrangements of atoms.
Isomers
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids
Macromolecules
Monomers make up….
polymers
Removal of water molecules (connect monomers together to make polymers)
Dehydration
Addition of water molecule (disassemble polymers into monomer parts)
Hydrolysis
Speed up biological processes
Enzymes
monosaccarides
charbohydrates
Amino acids
protein
glycerol and fatty acids
lipids
nucleic acids
nucleotide
Carbohydrates
C,H,O 1:2:1
Lipids
