1 Organic Compound A covalently bonded compound that contains carbon, excluding carbonates and oxides

2 Hydrocarbon A compound that is made only of carbon and hydrogen atoms

3 Alkanes Have C – C, single covalent, and C – H bonds Examples: Methane, Ethane, Hexane

4 Alkenes Have C = C, double covalent, and C – H bonds Examples: Ethene, Propene

5 Alcohols Have one or more -OH groups Examples: Ethanol, Methanol

6 Polymers A large molecule that is formed by a chain of compounds called monomers. Formed when small organic molecules bond to form long chains

7 Biochemical Compounds Polymers important to living things

8 Carbohydrate Any organic compound that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and that provides nutrients to the cells of living things.

9 Amino Acid Any one of 20 different organic molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (sometimes sulfer too).

10 Protein An organic compound that is made of one or more chains of amino acids. The principle component of all cells.

11 DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid A polymer shaped like a twisted ladder Stores the information
