Science (2.3 Organic and Inorganic Compounds)

organic compound

A compound that contains one or more carbon atoms that are bonded to hydrogen atoms Made of molecules, not just elements.

Carbohydrates

Broken down to glucose to provide energy. (FUEL FOR OUR BODIES)

Proteins

Enzymes and hormones

Molecular and ionic compounds (water and salts)

Examples of inorganic compounds include......

DNA, proteins, sugars, starches, and fats

Examples of organic compounds include......

- they have unique properties due to the carbon atom - able to link together to form long chains - able to form 4 bonds and double bonds - they feed us (plants and animals) - provide shelter (wood) - keep us warm (cotton and wool) - make us mobile (fossil fuels

How are organic compounds useful?

Organic molecules (sugar)

Inorganic molecules (water and carbon dioxide) are turned into......

Organic compounds

Miller and Urey- put water vapor, ammonia, methane, and hydrogen in a container then simulated lightning and heat. This resulted in.....

Fats

Store energy and provide insulation

Carbon

The chemical element with six protons and six neutrons. A key element in organic compounds. (Atomic number=6)

Hydrogen and carbon

To be an organic compound, you need.....

True

True or False- Animals decay after death and turn into fossil fuels

True

True or False- Animals eat organic molecules and produce new organic molecules (ex: spider silk, milk, etc.)

True

True or False- In space, ultraviolet radiation and molecular collisions produce ethanol (alcohol) and acetic acid (vinegar)

True

True or False- Some compounds are made by humans

True

True or False- Tylenol is an example of something artificially made, only from organic compounds

True

True or false- some compounds are made from only organic compounds Ex: urea is made by combining ammonia and carbon dioxide

Photosynthesis

Turn organic compounds into inorganic compounds

Compound

a chemical combination of two or more elements

carbon dioxide

a waste product made by cells of the body; a gas in the air made of carbon and oxygen atoms: Humans rid themselves of this waste by exhaling, or breathing out.

NH3

ammonia

Inorganic compound

any compound that does not contain carbon

carbon atoms

can form single, double & triple bonds;these organic compounds can have different shapes/patterns

CO2

carbon dioxide

Atom

the smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element

CH4N2O

urea
