organic compounds
The amount of electron atoms need in their outermost ring to be stable? (stable octet)
8
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Protiens, Nucleic acids, All four are found in cells.
Macromolecules
5 carbon sugar- part of DNA and RNA.
Ribose
3 or more bonded monosaccharides.
polysaccharides
long term.
Energy storage.
Hydrogen is the exception.
It only needs two electrons to be stable.
Contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. (CHO)
Carbohidrates
6 carbon sugar- blood sugar.
Glucose
Plants energy storage.
Starch
Most animals store energy as.
Lipids. (fat)
Bilding blocks of a larger structure.
Structural
Short term. Dissolve easily in water.
Energy storage
glucose + fructose ( table sugar)
Sucrose
Animal starches, stored in liver.
Glycogen.
most common acid.
Fatty acids
Serves as enzymes.
Enzymatic
Simple sugars. Basic unit of carbohidrates.
Monosaccharides
glucose + galactose ( milk sugar)
Lactose
Cells walls of plants.
Cellulose.
Chains of 14-28 carbons with a carboxyl group on the end.
COOH group.
Store energy, information, or other substances.
Storage
All monosaccharides have the same chemical for mula.
hint: c6 h12 o6.
6 carbon 12 hydrogen 6 oxygen
glucose + glucose ( malt sugar)
Maltose
One or more of the carbons is double bonded, meaning 2 hydrogens cannot bond to the double bonded carbons.
Unsaturated
Every carbon has 2 hydrogens attached to it.
Saturated
