Hydrocarbons
These two elements make up all hydrocarbons.
hydrogen and carbon
This element is found in all organic compounds.
Triple
carbon
This is the chemical formula for a hydroxyl group.
OH
This is a chain of molecules.
Quad
polymer
A lipid forms a straight polymer molecule.
saturated
A hydrocarbon is saturated if it has only this type of bond.
Quad
single
Unsaturated hydrocarbons with triple bonds are given this name.
Alkynes
The addition of a hydroxyl group makes this type of compound.
an alcohol
Amino acids have these two types of substitutions.
Triple
carboxyl and amino groups
This is an example of a carboxylic acid.
citric/ lactic/acetic
This bonding makes a hydrocarbon unsaturated.
double and triple bonds
Hydrocarbons that form ring shaped molecules have this prefix in front of their name.
cyclo
This is the chemical formula for a carboxyl group.
Double
COOH
This polymer compound is composed of amino acids and can be gained by eating lean meats, fish and some vegetables.
protein
This is the number of amino acids that must come from what we eat, because our body cannot produce them.
8
Hydrocarbons with all single bonds are saturated and have this name.
Alkane
This term describes compounds with the same chemical formula, but different molecule arrangement.
isomer
The addition of a carboxyl group makes this type of compound.
a carboxylic acid
This dietary compound is found in sugars and starches.
carbohydrate
This is the prefix that you would see if a compound was and isomer.
iso
Unsaturated hydrocarbons with double bonds have this name.
Alkenes
A hydrocarbon that has one or more of its H's replaced is called this.
substituted hydrocarbon
This is the formula for an amino group.
NH2
This dietary compound provides long lasting energy and comes from consuming healthy fats.
lipids
This type of lipid may cause higher cholesterol.
unsaturated
