MORE ABOUT ORGANIC COMPOUNDS!!! ***REMEMBER: ORGANIC MEANS HAS CARBON & MAKES UP LIVING THINGS***
There are 4 types. We have already discussed 3 of them! • 1. CARBOHYDRATES • 2. LIPIDS • 3. PROTEINS • 4. NUCLEIC ACIDS
PROTEIN CARBOHYDRATE LIPID
4) NUCLEIC ACIDS 2 Types: DNA RNA
DNA is considered the BLUEPRINT of life! • It controls all of the PROTEINS made in the body • RNA is the middle man! • DNARNAPROTEIN
ENZYMES • Special proteins that help in CHEMICAL REACTIONS such as DIGESTION . • Without enzymes, these chemical reactions would occur VERY slowly or not at all!
HORMONES • Special proteins that help one part of the body COMMUNICATE with another part of the body. • Very important in maintaining a BALANCE within the body! • HOMEOSTASIS: keeping things the same! • Examples: ESTROGEN, TESTOSTERONE, STEROIDS, & INSULIN.
