Molecules that contain carbon The Fantastic Four Organic Molecules Molecules that contain carbon
4 types Carbohydrates Lipids Nucleic acids Proteins Molecule Lab End of unit structure, function, examples
INB page 45 4 valence electrons, therefore 4 bonds Carbon compounds include: various elements nearly limitless arrangements
Chains Branched chains Rings ? Formula ?
Molecular Chains Carbon compounds vary greatly in size. Large molecules are called macromolecules.
INB page 46 Read highlight New vocabulary? Hydrophyllic, polymerization Take any additional notes on page 47 INB
Monomers and Polymers Cells build macromolecules by bonding small molecules (monomers) together to form large molecules (polymers). Mono = 1 Poly = many
Anabolic reaction - building Dehydration synthesis (condensation) water is formed when monomers join to form polymers Draw on page 47 INB OH H2O Anabolic reaction - building
Hydrolysis water is added to breakdown a polymer. Draw on page 48 INB Catabolic reaction - breaking
What type of metabolic reaction is Polymerization? Dehydration? Hydrolysis? Build or break?
Yarn & Beads Monomer Polymer Dehydration Synthesis Hydrolysis Condensation Polymerization Hydrolysis
