Chemistry For Life Organic and Inorganic Compounds

Organic Compounds 1.Compounds 2.Organic Compounds 3.Carbohydrates 4.Fats/Lipids 5.Proteins 6.Nucleic Acids

Remember… ELEMENTS are pure substances made of the same atom throughout. – Ex: Carbon, Aluminum, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Helium, Magnesium, Gold, Silver, etc. (92 of them) – They are all on the periodic table.

Compounds A substance formed from two or more different elements that are chemically combined (bonded) The elements lose their individual chemical properties and the compound has new properties. Cannot be easily separated

Large compounds to small ones C 6 H 12 O O 2 6 CO H 2 O + energy or NaHCO 3 + HC 2 H 3 O 2 NaC 2 H 3 O 2 + H 2 CO 3 or 14 KMnO C 3 H 5 (OH) 3 7 K 2 CO 3 + Mn 2 O CO H 2 O

Organic Compound A Compound that contains organic Carbon and other atoms– usually Hydrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, Sulfur, or Nitrogen. CHOPSN 90% of all compounds are organic

Organic Requirements Organic Compounds have the following properties: 1. MUST contain Carbon (C) 2. Must have a C-H bond (carbon-hydrogen). 3. Carbon may also be combined with Sulfur (S), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), and/or Phosphorus (P) 4. Living or from something that was living

CARBON

sulfur phosphorus

Carbohydrates Molecules containing Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. Breaks down into sugars. There are simple and complex ones. Provide energy for cells (bodies) EX: Pasta, bread, candy, fruits, potatoes

Fats/Lipids Large complex molecule containing Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Phosphorus. Breaks down into fatty acids. Lipids (fats) are an important part of every living cell. Stores energy, provides protection EX: Fats, oils, cholesterol milk, nuts, chips, meat

Large complex molecules containing Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and sometimes Nitrogen and Sulfur. Proteins break down into amino acids. Proteins can be broken down into smaller parts called amino acids. Life on Earth is a protein and amino acid- based. They support cell structure/control cell processes. EX: nuts, eggs, fish, meat, beans, peanut butter Proteins

Nucleic Acids Molecules containing Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Phosphorus. DNA stores our genetic information. Determines our physical characteristics - eye color, shape (traits) Found in DNA/RNA in our cells
