Carbon Compounds Flashcards
Organic molecules
-any molecule with carbon to carbon and or carbon to hydrogen bonds
ex:CH4 (methane)
Inorganic molecules
-molecules that don’t have carbon to carbon and or carbon to hydrogen bonds
ex:H20 (water)
monomer
-single unit (subunit) that when bonded to several other units makes polymer
dimer
-formed from 2 monomers bonded together
polymer
3 or more monomers bonded together
macromolecule
-term for large molecule formed by smaller subunits or polymer
different organic macromolecules
carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acid, proteins
carbohydreates, carbs
-compounds made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen atoms
-ratio 1:2:1
lipids
fats
nucleic acids
