2. Organic Chemistry Objectives:
Describe the bonding properties of Carbon
Explain what a macromolecule is and how it is made
3. Describe the relationship between monomers and polymers
4. Explain the difference in dehydration and hydrolysis

3. What Makes Something Organic?
Containing Carbon

4. Objective 1: Explain the bonding properties of Carbon
Carbon has 4 valence e-
It can form 4 covalent bonds with up to 4 different elements at a time
These are usually C, H, O or N
In life, these carbon bonds make up the 4 Major Macromolecules of life…biochemistry

5. Biochemistry Objective 2: Explain what a macromolecule is and how it is formed Objective 3: describe the relationship b/t monomers and polymers
There are 4 organic macromolecules
Macromolecule—really large molecule made up of smaller molecules
A.k.a—polymer
Polymers are made up of monomers
Monomers link together to make polymers

6. Dehydration Synthesis Dehydration=taking away water
Objective 4: explain how dehydration and hydrolysis differ How are Macromolecules Made???
Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration=taking away water
Condensation reaction

7. Dehydration Synthesis

8. How are Macromolecules Broken?
If you take away water to make a macromolecule…
You add water to break them!
Hydrolysis

9. Hydrolysis HO H
H2O HO H

10. Review of Objectives Objectives:
Describe the bonding properties of Carbon
Explain what a macromolecule is and how it is made
Describe the relationship between monomers and polymers
Explain the difference in dehydration and hydrolysis

11. 4 Major Macromolecules
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Nucleic Acids
