functional groups
lone atoms or group that is covalently bonded to carbon atoms
influence structural and chemical properties of organic molecules.
organic molecules
contain carbon and at least one hydrogen
carbon bonding behavior
each carbon atom can form up to four bonds.
hydroxyl group
water soluble (polar) -OH
Methyl Group
oils, fats, etc.
insoluable
-CH3
Carbonyl group
-CO
water soluable
aldehyde
keytone
aldehyde
at the end of carbon backbone
keytone
attached to interior carbon
carBOXyl
water soluable
-COOH
amino group
only one that contains nitrogen
polar
-NH2
phosphate group
polar
-PO4
isomers
compounds with the same formula but different structures
polymers
long molecule that consists of many individual blocks strung together.
monomer
building block of polymers
dehydration reaction
a reaction that removes a molecule of water
hydrolysis
break cells down by adding water
enzymes
specialized macromolecules that speed up chemical reactions in cells
monosaccharides
consist of mainly sugar and glucose
the simplest carbohydrate
monomer of carbohydrate
disaccharide
cells construct this from two monosaccharides
polysaccharides
polymers of momosaccharides linked together by dehydration reactions. function as storage molecules or structural compounds
starch
storage in most plants
coil
polymer of glucose
glycogen
animals store excess sugar in the form of glycogen
stored in granules in our liver and muscle cells.
wax
a lipid
protective covering
waterproof
unsaturated fats
fatty acids and fats in double bonds in the carbon chain are unsaturated. unsaturated is having less than the maximum number of hydrogens.cant solidify at room temperature.
