- Carbon Compounds 2:3
2
Carbon – Atomic number is 6….
A. Can forms up to 4 bonds with other elements or itself. 1. Can form straight, ringed, or branched chains. 2. Bonds can be single, double, triple or quadruple carbon bonds
4
B. Organic Chemistry 1. All living things that contain the carbon element, are considered (ORGANIC). Exception – Carbon Dioxide does contain carbon and is a NON – LIVING thing. Inorganic – are NON-living things that do not contain carbon.
5
3. Functional groups – a cluster of atoms that influences or alters the chemical properties of the molecule they compose. It is the structural building block that determines the characteristic and function of the compound.
7
A. Built from smaller molecules
4. Macromolecules –very large molecules, made up of 4 groups, carbohydrates, triglycerides (lipids), proteins and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) A. Built from smaller molecules called monomers, through a process called polymerization. B. Monomers bond together to form polymers 1. Silly putty is a polymer. C. Macromolecules – formed from the building of polymers.
8
Reactions Condensation reaction (dehydration)– in this type of reaction 2 monomers combine, losing 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom producing a water molecule. Hydrolysis reaction – occurs when polymers break apart splitting a water molecule, restoring the 2 hydrogen and one oxygen back on to the compound.
10
Made up of Adenosine and 3 phosphate,
5. Energy Currency A. Adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) Made up of Adenosine and 3 phosphate, A-P-P-P “Energy molecule” of the cell. B. Life processes requires energy. 1. Energy is available to all cells in the form ATP. Energy is released when a phosphate breaks off, forming Adenosine Di-phosphate, A – P – P (ADP)
