Organic compounds
Proteins, lipids, carbohydrates & more.

2. Hydrocarbon
textbookofbacteriology.net
Chain of carbon atoms bonded to H atoms that is the backbone of many organic cmpds.
Functional group – atoms or molecules attached to the skeleton that make it chemically unique

3. Polymers Large molecules made up of smaller repeating parts.
Monomer – single repeating unit; a building block
Assembled through synthesis rxns

4. Carbohydrates Contain C,H, & O Sugar, glycogen, starch & cellulose
2-3% of body mass
Main function is as energy source for ATP production
Contain 1 H2O per C

5. Monosaccharides Simple sugars that have 3-7 C atoms
Used to build larger carbohydrates

6. Disaccharides
Simple sugars formed from the combination of 2 monosaccharides by dehydration synthesis.
Sucrose & lactose are examples

7. Polysaccharides
Made from ’s of monosaccharides thru dehydration synthesis.
Glycogen, starch & cellulose are examples
Broken down into glucose by hydrolysis

8. Lipids Lip- means fat 18-25% of body mass Contain C, H & O
Fewer O than carbs so fewer polar covalent bonds.
Thus insoluble in water (hydrophobic)
Have to connect to a hydrophilic protein to “dissolve” in blood. This makes a lipoprotein.

9. Fatty acids Simplest of lipids Used to make other lipids
Can be catabolized to make ATP
Saturated – filled with single bonds
Un saturated – has double bonds

10. Triglyceride Most concentrated form of chemical energy
Made of 1 glycerol w/ 3 fatty acids attached
Fats- solid at room temp, mostly saturated
Oil- liquids at room temp, mostly unsaturated
Insulation, protection & energy storage

11. Phospholipids
uic.edu
Same triglycerides except there’s a phosphate group in place of a fatty acid
Have a polar end that is hydrophilic
Make up cell membranes

12. Steriods Made of 4 carbon rings Synthesized from cholesterol
Used in digestion of lipids, cell membranes, regulate sexual functions & blood sugar levels.
