Organic Molecules

Proteins

There are glycerol and starch

Proteins are made up of nucleic acids

Carbohydrates

Hydrophilic

Examples -

Function - Energy source

Structure = 1C - 2O - 1C

Its monomer is glucose and its polymer is a polysaccharide

O, C, H

Nucleic Acids

Lipids

Subtopic

Function - energy source

3 chains of H and C

Subunits -

O, H , C

Carbon

Digestion and synthesis is the breaking down of larger molecules making them smaller

When a new bond is made energy is released

To have one polymer you have many monomers

Hydrophilic carbons have a tendency to mix with other substances

Functional groups of carbon are hydroxyl, carbonyl, and amino

Hydrocarbon are compounds we use in our life for energy

All organic compounds have carbon

Steriods are organic because they have carbon in it

4 valance electrons
