This is the simplest type of oganic compund
What is hydrocarbon?
This is the biochemical compound needed to build tissue
What is protein?
This fossil fuel is made of long, complex hydrocarbons
This is the type of bond in the carbons of a diamond
What is a covalent bond?
This is the biochemical compound referred to as fat
What is lipid?
This fossil fuel is made of hydrocarbons with a high ratio of carbon to hydrogen
What is coal?
This is a hydrocarbon that contains only carbon-carbon bonds and has the maximum amount of bonded hydrogen atoms
What is a saturated hydrocarbon?
This is the biochemical compound that is needed to store genetic information
What is nucleic acid?
This fossil fuel is made of small hydrocarbons with only 2, 3, or 4 carbons
What is natural gas?
These three things affect the state of a hydrocarbon
What is saturated vs unsaturated, the number of carbons, and its temperature?
