Carbon Compounds and the Macromolecules of Life
LT1: Properties of Carbon
4 valence electrons
Is the backbone of life
Loves to bond to other carbons
All living organic things have carbon
LT3: 4 Basic Macromolecules in All Living Things
Carbohydrate
Glucose
Fructose
Protein
Hemoglobin
Insulin
Lipid
Saturated Fats
Unsaturated Fats
Nucleic Acids
DNA
RNA
LT6: The characteristics of an enzyme and their role
Speeds up chemical reactions
Most are catalyzed by proteins
Biological Catalyst
Speeds up reactions without messing with it's equilibrium
LT7: How High Energy in Living Things Help Cells Work
Plants take SOLAR ENERGY from the sun and convert it into glucose through photosynthisis
Living things eat plants and take on the GLUCOSE for energy
BONDS are formed and broken inside the body to store and release energy
3.A. To STORE energy, bonds are FORMED between molecucles
3.B. To RELEASE energy, bonds are BROKEN between molecules
LT2: 6 Most Common Elements in Organic Compounds
CHONPS
Carbon
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Phoshorus
Sulfur
LT4: The General Structure and Function of Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids
Carbohyrdates
Monomer: Monosacharide
Elements: C H O
Provide Energy
Lipids
Elements: C H O
Monomer: glycerol and fatty acids
Fatty acids, butter, oil, wax
Proteins
Monomer: Amino Acid
Elements: C H O N
Build and repair tissue
Nucleic Acids
Monomer: Nucleotide
Elements: C H O N P
Contains Genetic Material
LT5: Dehydration and Hydrolysis Reactions
Dehydration is used to BOND elements
Takes away Hydrogen to create a bond
Hydrolysis is used to BREAK bonds
Adds Hydrogen to break bonds
Side Note: MONOMERS bond together to make POLYMERS
