Organic Molecule
Contains Carbon (CH, CC)
Organic Molecule Ex.
CH4
Macromolecule
Very large number of atoms
Molecule
2+ atoms chemically bonded together
Compound
2+ DIFFERENT atoms chemically bonded together
Monomer
Single building block of macromolecules
Polymer
Multiple monomers
4 types of Macromolecules
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, amino acids
Macromolecules are mostly made of…
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
CARBS
Sugars that provide energy for the body
Carbohydrate Ratio
1:2:1
Carbs Example
Pasta, flour, bread, sucrose
Carbohydrate Monomers
Monosaccharides, ex. glucose and fructose
Carbohydrate Polymers
Disaccharides and Polysaccharides
Glycosidic Linkage
Connects two monosaccharides by covalent bond
Dehydration Synthesis
Releases one H2O molecule during Glycosidic Linkage
Hydrolysis
Opposite of dehydration synthesis.
LIPIDS
Store energy (provided by carbohydrates)
