1. 2.3 Carbon Compounds
1. Carbon –bonds w/O, N, H, P, S to form molecules of life

2. 2. Macromolecules- “giant molecules”
Monomers (building blocks) create polymers (macromolecules)
4 Types: proteins, lipids, carbohydrate, nucleic acids
Organic compounds large w/ -C-C-C- backbones

3. Carbohydrates 1C:2H:1O Energy source (C-H bonds)
Sugar (mono/di/polysaccharides)
Simple Sugars = monosaccharides = 1 sugar
Ex: Glucose

4. Complex Carb = polysaccharides = 3+ monos
Ex: Glycogen = “animal starch”, Starch = plant

5. cellulose: cell wall (supports plant)

7. Lipids (fats, oils, steroid, waxes)
All Steroids Have the Same Ring Structure

8. C-H, O
3 Fatty Acids w/ Glycerol backbone (E shaped) = monomers

9. Stored energy reserve, biological mem
Saturated fat (solid; no double bonds)
Unsaturated fat (liquid; double bonds)

10. Nucleic acids (Information molecules)
N, C, H, O, P
Nucleotides = monomers

11. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) genetic info
RNA (ribonucleic acid) protein synthesis

12. Proteins
N, C, H, O
Amino Acids: monomers; 20 AA (12 synthesized/8 essential)

13. Four-step arrangement (3-D shape) = function
Structural (bones, feathers)/enzymes/ fight diseases
