1. ORGANIC MOLECULES OF THE CELL

2. Organic Molecules Organic Molecules are generally large compounds that are composed of Carbon and Hydrogen atoms General Organic Reactions Hydrolysis (water break apart) Dehydration Synthesis (lose water bring together)

3. Hydrolysis During Hydrolysis, organic Polymers are broken apart into the organic Monomers of which they are composed (occurs in the digestive system and lysosomes)

5. Dehydration Synthesis During Dehydration Synthesis, organic Monomers are brought together to form organic Polymers (occurs inside cells, including the ribosome, in bodies in the liver)

7. Carbohydrates Monomer = Monosaccharides (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) Functions 1) Short Term Energy = Monosaccharides 2) Long Term Energy = Starch (plants) Glycogen (animals) 3) Structure = Cellulose (plant cell walls) Chitin (animal exoskeletons)

8. Lipids Monomers = Fatty Acids & Glycerol Functions 1) Long Term Energy = Triglycerides 2) Cell Membranes = Phospholipids 3) Other Functions = Insulation, Hormones, and Water Repellants

10. Proteins Monomer = Amino Acids Functions 1) Chemical Enzymes 2) Cell Transport, Recognition, and Cohesion 3) Other Functions = Structure, Movement, Pigmentation, Hormones, Defense

11. Nucleic Acids Monomer = Nucleotides Functions 1) Store & Transmit the Information to Make Proteins = DNA and RNA in the nucleus and cytoplasm
