  1. Chemical Compounds of Cells Gaiser Life Science

  2. Chemical Compounds of Cells Know Why is water one of the most important compounds for cells to function? Evidence Draw and label an example of each of the five chemical compounds of living organisms. (protein, lipids, carbohydrates, water, and nucleic acid)

  3. Chemical Compounds of Cells What makes up living cells? Information Clarifying ?s Background information – a substance in its simplest form, made up of only one type of atom elements Example: oxygen, symbolized by a capital O atom – the smallest unit of an element Elements of living things Example: carbon (C), oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), phosphorus (P) compound – two or more elements joined together chemically Example: water – H2O Organic compound – two or more elements joined chemically that contain carbon, all living things are made of organic compounds.

  4. Chemical Compounds of Cells Information Clarifying ?s Organic compound – compounds that contain carbon, all living things are made of organic compounds. protein – (C), (O), (H), (N), & (S) Example: meat, eggs, fish, nuts, & beans carbohydrates – (C), (H), & (O) Example: sugars & starches lipids – (C), (H), & (O) Example: fats, oils, & waxes

  5. Chemical Compounds of Cells Information Clarifying ?s lipids – (C), (H), & (O) Example: fats, oils, & waxes Nucleic acids – (C), (O), (H), (N), (P), & (S) Example: DNA, which carries genetic info from parents to offspring & RNA, which produces protein in cytoplasm and nucleus inorganic compounds – combinations of 2 or more elements held together chemically without carbon being present – reactions in cells can’t happen without H2O. water Example: helps cells maintain shape, size, and temperature amino acids – smallest units that link protein together – protein that speeds up chemical reactions enzyme Example: Saliva speeds up digestion. Summary:
