Single bonds
“ane” ending
Alkanes
Side chains
“yl” ending
Alkyls
Same as alkyls but use “o” ending
chloro, bromo etc
Halogens
In a ring or circle
Cyclo
Double bonds
“ene” ending
Alkene
Triple bond
“yne” ending
Alkynes
Hydroxyl (OH) group attached to only one other carbon Only OH "anol" ending H | R-C-OH | H
Alcohol
Carboxyl (O) group that is attached to only one other carbon
O Attached to the end
“al” ending
O=C-C-C
Aldehyde
Carboxyl (O) group attached to a carbon that is attached to only two other carbons On middle carbon "anone" ending O II R-C-R
Ketone
Carboxyl group and hydroxyl group attached to end carbon
Both O and OH at the end of the chain
“anoic” ending
Carboxylic acid
Oxygen between two carbon groups
R-O-R1
Ether
Nh2 group attached to a carbon THAT is attached end carbon
Only NH2
Amine
NH2 and carboxyl attached to an end carbon
NH2 and O
Amide
Monomer
Basic unit
Polymer
Made up of polymers
3 biochemicals
Fats
Carbs
Proteins
Carbs
Plants use them for structure
Living things use as key source of energy
Monosaccharides
C6H12O6
Simple sugars
Glucose
Mild sweet flavor, blood sugar
Found in every disaccharide and polysaccharide
Monosaccharide
Fructose
Sweetest sugar, found in fruits and honey
Monosaccharide
Galactose
Hardly tastes sweet, rarely found naturally as a single sugar
Monosaccharide
Disaccharide
C12H22O11
Double sugar
Hydrolysis
Breaking a disaccharide
Produce glucose and maltose
Maltose
2 glucose units
Made when starch breaks down
Condensation
Making a disaccharide chemical reaction linking 2 monosaccharides
Sucrose
Fructose and glucose
Tastes sweet
In fruits, vegetables, grains, table sugar, sugar beets
Lactose
Glucose and galactose main carb in milk and is known as milk sugar
Polysaccharide
3 or more simple sugar units
Glycogen
Animal starch in liver and muscles
Cellulose
Cell walls
Starches
Energy source
Reserve carb of plants
Made of amylose and amylopectin
Carb digestion
Breaks down into glucose body is able to absorb and use
Dehydration synthesis
Combine simple molecules to form a more complex one w the removal of water
