Chemical Compounds in Cells
Elements and compounds
Air is a mixture of gases
Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide
Elements
An element is any substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances
Smallest part of an element is an atom
Carbohydrates
A Cabohydrate or Carb is a compound made of
hydrogen
Oxygen
Carbon
Sugar are produced during the food-making process
when sugar molecules combine, which form large molecules called starches, or complex carbs
Potatoes, pasta, rice, bread, are foods with the starch
Carbs are found in cell membranes
Lipids
fats, oils, and waxes are all lipids
They are made of the same thing as Carbs
Protiens
Strucutures of protiens
the small molecules of proteins are called amino acids
Proteins are organic molecules made of
carbon
hydrogen
oxygen
nitrogen
Functions of Protiens
Enzyme
A type of protien that speeds up chemical reaction
They preform tasks and with out them chemical reactions that are a need may not take place
Nucleic Acids
They are long molecules made of
carbon
.oxygen
hydrogen
nitrogen
phosphorus
contain the instruction that cells need to carry out all the functions of life
DNA
Is how you get your genetic information about an organism and is passed from parent to kid
RNA
Found in the cytoplasm as well in then nucleus
Water and Living Things
Waters make up about two thirds of your body
Most chemical reactions whinin cells could not take place without water
