Organic Chemistry

Question 1

inorganic molecules

Answer 1

lack carbon atoms and carbon-hydrogen bonds

Question 2

organic molecules

Answer 2

have carbon atoms and at least one carbon-hydrogen bond

Question 3

why is carbon important

Answer 3

it makes bond and can even make up to 4 bonds

Question 4

a carbon/hydrogen skeleton/backbone is

Answer 4

carbon atoms bonded with hydrogen atoms in a specific shape

Question 5

what is a consistency in all 4 organic molecules

Answer 5

all are made of monomers

Question 6

a monomer is

Answer 6

the smallest unit of a macromolecule which still has the properties of that macromolecule

Question 7

what are the three main parts in monomers

Answer 7

carbon/hydrogen backbone - functional group - side group/r group

Question 8

carbon/hydrogen backbone is

Answer 8

foundation for other molecules to attach to

Question 9

functional group

Answer 9

gives the entire monomer a function

Question 10

side group

Answer 10

gives each monomer its identity

Question 11

polymer is

Answer 11

many monomers bonded together to make a big molecule

Question 12

how a polymer behaves is based on what

Answer 12

its shape

Question 13

dehydration synthesis

Answer 13

removes water to bond monomer chunks into a big polymer (think dehydration - remove water synthesis - bring together)

Question 14

hydrolysis

Answer 14

add water to break polymer into monomer (think hydro - water lysis - break apart)

Question 15

what are the four molecules of life

Answer 15

carbohydrates - proteins - nucleic acids - lipids

Question 16

what is the monomer for carbohydrates

Answer 16

monosaccharide

Question 17

example of a monosaccharide

Answer 17

glucose

Question 18

what is the polymer of carbohydrates

Answer 18

polysaccharide

Question 19

two examples of polysaccharides

Answer 19

cellulose and starch

Question 20

what is the monomer of proteins

Answer 20

amino acid

Question 21

what must happen to the amino acid monomer chunks in order for it to be useful

Answer 21

the primary structure must be folded

Question 22

what is the polymer of proteins

Answer 22

polypeptide

Question 23

what is the monomer of nucleic acids

Answer 23

a nucleotide

Question 24

what are the two example of the nucleotides bonding together to make polymers

Answer 24

DNA - deoxyribose nucleic acid

RBA - ribose nucleic acid

Question 25

what are the monomers for lipids

Answer 25

glycerol AND fatty acid chain

Question 26

what is a fatty acid chain

Answer 26

a chain of carbon and hydrogen bonded together

Question 27

if shape determines the function of the lipid, what determines the classification

Answer 27

saturated/unsaturated

Question 28

what are the three polymers for lipids

Answer 28

saturated - unsaturated - phospholipid

Question 29

which lipid fat has every carbon atom bonded as many hydrogen atoms as possible

Answer 29

saturated

Question 30

which lipid fat has a double bond between carbon atoms and prevents every carbon from being as full of hydrogen as possible

Answer 30

unsaturated

Question 31

what are the phospholipid parts

Answer 31

hydrophilic head - glycerol group and functional group - hydrophilic tails

Question 32

Tip for saturated and unsaturated, one is kinked one is straight

Answer 32

saturated is straight and stable - unsaturated is kinked and fluffy
