1. Carbon Compound Shapes
Organic Chemistry
Carbon Compound Shapes
Branched
Straight
Ask the kidsdhow many bonds that carbon can make. Maybe have a few tinkertoys pre-made in the 3 major arrangememnts
Check the amount of H and C bonds
Arrangements are determined by the overall arrangement of the carbons
Ring

2. Simple carbon compounds assemble to form the four main biomolecules:
The Main Biomolecules
Simple carbon compounds assemble to form the four main biomolecules:
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Nucleic Acids

3. Biomolecules are made of Monomers
Monomers (building blocks) making bonds
Polymers to monomers breaking bonds
Arrow is the chemcial reaction
May mention enzymes as to why they are important in a reaction
Monomers Polymer

4. Monomer + Monomer + Polymer
Condensation/Polymerization Reaction
Building a Polymer Anabolic Reaction
Endergonic Reaction
A polymerase enzyme catalyzes this reaction

5. Condensation Reaction: Dehydration SynthesisOH H OH

6. Anabolic Reactions are EndergonicY
Ask if it is a building or breaking reaction

14. The Main Biomolecules are Polymers
Polymers /macromolecules are strings of repeating units, identical / nearly identical compounds (monomers) linked together by covalent bonds.
Condensation reaction or polymerization: dehydration synthesis (anabolic)  making a polymer from monomers
Hydrolysis reaction (catabolic)  breaking a polymer into monomers
