Chapter 2The Chemistry of Life Section 3 Carbon Compounds
carbon • What element do all organic compounds contain?
monomer • Small units that link together to form larger molecules
carbohydrate • Made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio
lipid • Made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen; mostly carbon and hydrogen
Amino acid • Monomers or building blocks of proteins
polymer • Large molecules created by linking monomers together
monosaccharide • Simple sugars
Nucleic acid • DNA and RNA; holds and allows genetic information to be transferred from parent to offspring
protein Macromolecules of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen; made of amino acids
nucleotide • Monomers of nucleic acids; made of a sugar, phosphate and nitrogen base
protein • What class of organic compounds composes our hair, skin, nails, muscles and enzymes
lipids • Provides waterproof covering especially in plants and makes up cell membranes
carbohydrates • Provides our largest source of energy; includes glucose, starch, cellulose, and glycogen
What classes of organic compounds can be found in a Hershey bar?
