Organic vs.Inorganic Compounds

What property allows water to dissolve many substances?

Adhesion

Polysaccharides used for structural molecules

Cellulose, Chitin,Peptidoglycan

Why are sugars so important?

Contain Large amounts of energy, nearly all living organisms use glucose for energy, sugars can also be used for cellular structural support in an organism.

Dehydration synthesis forms larger molecules called

Macromolecules or polymers

What type of bonds and molecules do Organic Compounds form?

Most have covalent bonds and nonpolar molecules.

2 examples of Organic Compounds?

Sugar and Oil from plants.

Hydrolysis

The breaking up of macromolecules into smaller subunits by adding water.

Glycosidic bond

The name of the bond that holds monosaccharides together when forming a disaccharide.

Universal solvent

Water ex: HCl dissolving in water

Organic Compound

a compound that contains the element carbon, most only occur in living organisms or in their byproducts.

INorganic Compound

a compound that doesn't contain carbon. exceptions (CO2 - carbon dioxide environmental and CaCO3 calcium carbonate)

What makes something organic?

always contains carbon, usually contains hydrogen and may contain oxygen and nitrogen.

Lipid

an organic compound made up of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen

Carbohydrate

an organic compound made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (always has a 1:2:1 ratio)

Hydrophobic

any substance that does not have an affinity for water or it is "repelled" by the water....(rejection :'( )

Hydrophilic

any substance that has an affinity or is "attracted" ;) to a water molecule

Function of lipids

are parts of a cells structure and serve as reserve energy supply, insulation and also acts as a protective coating

Why are molecules attracted to one another?

because water is polar

Dehydration synthesis

is a process that bonds smaller molecules (monomers) together by removing H20)

Carbon

likes to bond with other carbon atoms and forms chains Has the ability to make 4 bonds at once. ( Carbon is a bad playa, obviously...smh). Carbon chains form rings and branches....( love triangles? :O THIS IS ONLY GETTING WORSE!)

Polysaccharide

many simple sugars bonded together through dehydration synthesis to create a chain of repeating subunits. are polymers.

Polar molecule

one end of the molecule is more negatively charged than the other.

Isomer

organic molecules that have the same chemical (molecular) formula but a different structural formula (or atoms arrangement of atoms). (Isomers are like identical triplets...they all look the same but their personalities are different ) ex: glucose,sucrose and galactose

Energy Storage polysaccharides

starch , glycogen

Adhesion

the attraction between the molecules of one substance and the molecules of another substance.

Cohesion

the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance. (Water is narcissistic!)

Disaccharide

the molecule formed by joining two simple sugars (monosaccharides) by dehydration synthesis.

Monosaccharide

the simplest carbohydrate, "simple sugar" and the building blocks of carbohydrates. (glucose, fructose,sucrose)

The difference between carbs & lipids

there are less oxygen atoms in lipids than carbs
