compounds that contain carbon atoms in chains/rings
organic compounds
compounds that do not contain carbon atoms in chains/rings
inorganic compounds
a chain of carbon atoms that are covalently bonded together with attached hydrogen atoms
hydrocarbon chain
groups of specific atoms that are bonded to the hydrocarbon chain and will add to the function of a compound
functional group
list some examples of a functional group
hydroxyl group,
carboxyl group,
amino group,

only one Carbon
the removal of water from between two smaller compounds to form a larger, more complex compound (small → large)
dehydration synthesis
the addition of water to a large, complex compound to break it down into smaller, simpler compounds (large → small)
hydrolysis
sucrose (dehydration synthesis equation)
Glucose + Fructose → Sucrose + H₂O
sucrose (hydrolysis equation)
H₂O + Sucrose → Glucose + Fructose
lactose (dehydration synthesis equation)
Glucose + Galactose → Lactose + H₂O
lactose (hydrolysis equation)
H₂O + Lactose → Glucose + Galactose
maltose (dehydration synthesis equation)
Glucose + Glucose → Maltose + H₂O
maltose (hydrolysis equation)
H₂O + Maltose → Glucose + Glucose
protein (dehydration synthesis equation)
Amino Acids → Protein + H₂O
protein (hydrolysis equation)
H₂O + Protein → Amino Acids
triglyceride (dehydration synthesis equation)
3 Fatty Acids + 1 Glycerol → Triglyceride + 3H₂O
triglyceride (hydrolysis equation)
3H₂O + Triglyceride → 3 Fatty Acids + 1 Glycerol
structure of triglycerides
Glycerol + 3 fatty acids
structure of phospholipids
Glycerol + 2 fatty acids + phosphate group
structure of sterols
4 fused Carbon rings
What is the difference between a saturated fat and an unsaturated fat?
saturated: only single bonds between Carbon atoms,
unsaturated: one/more double bond between Carbon atoms
Which is better for you, saturated or unsaturated fats?
unsaturated
3 functions of lipids (fats) in the body
concentrated energy,
protection of internal organs,
insulation
What are the monomers (building blocks) of proteins?
amino acids
identify/name some proteins
keratin, collagen, myosin, hemoglobin
Why are proteins neccessary for the body?
they control all the activities of life, missing one can result in illness or death, they do more jobs in the cell than any other type of biological molecule
What are the monomers (building blocks) of nucleic acids?
nucleotides
What does DNA stand for?
deoxyribonucleic acid
