Carbon Compounds Organic – Molecules which contain Carbon - Hydrogen bonds. Ex. Carbohydrates, Fats

Macromolecules Monomer- a molecule (or unit) used as building blocks in the formation of polymers. Polymer – a large molecule formed when many smaller molecules bond together.

4 types of ORGANIC compounds Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids

Carbohydrates Organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen Sub-units are simple sugars Monosaccharides and Polysaccharides Ratio is 1:2:1 (1 carbon, 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen) ex. C6H1206 - Glucose Examples: Cellulose, Starch, Glycogen Function: main source of energy

LIPIDS – (a.k.a. FATS) Sub-units – Glycerol and 3 fatty acids Similar to Carbs, except: Ratios of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are NOT 1:2:1 Examples: Animal Fat (C57H110O6), Cooking oil Function: 1. Store energy 2. body insulation

PROTEINS Large Complex polymers composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorous Sub-units: AMINO ACIDS Functions: (on the next slide) Examples: Enzymes, Hemoglobin, Insulin, Chlorophyll

5 functions of proteins Proteins are important in the contracting of muscle tissue Transporting oxygen in the blood stream Providing immunity Regulating other proteins Carrying out chemical reactions

NUCLEIC ACID Macromolecule that stores cellular information Sub-units: nucleotides Examples – DNA & RNA Functions: Store and transmit genetic information.
