Basic Organic Chemistry
This element forms the backbone of all organic compounds
Carbon
Name the three classifications of the "alk" molecules
Alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes
This is the most common function of sugars in animals, bacteria, and fungi
This quality of lipids helps them avoid mixing with water
Non-polar
These are the three most common elements that carbon binds to when forming organic compounds
Hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen
This classification of molecule has intermediate stability and double bonds
Alkenes
DNA
Name three functions of lipids in living things
These are the three most common configurations (shapes) of organic molecules
Chains, rings, and webs
This classification of molecule is used in many common consumer-grade fuels, such as propane
This type of reaction is useful for building larger macromolecules
Dehydration Synthesis/Condensation Reaction
Name two monomers of lipids
Fatty acid tail, glycerol
Name 4 industrial products or uses of carbon-based molecules
Fuel, plastic, activated carbon, carbon fiber, diamonds, steel
These are the most unstable classification of the "alk" molecules and they have triple bonds
Alkynes
This type of reaction helps break down larger macromolecules
Hydrolysis
This is the name of lipids that have only single bonds between carbons
Saturated fats
Name an organic molecule which humans are able to artificially synthesize
Urea, Vitamin B12
These groups of "alk" molecules are unsaturated
Alkenes and Alkynes
Name two monomers of sugar
Glucose, fructose, galactose
These lipids are liquid at room temperature because they contain at least one double bonded carbon
Unsaturated fats
