Carbon Chemistry

substituted

A BLANK hydrocarbon is formed when one or more hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon is replaced by a different atom or group of atoms.

nanotube

A BLANK is a form of pure carbon that makes a long hollow tube that is used as a conductor in electronic devices.

composite

A polymer may be combined with one or more substances to make a new material called a(n) BLANK

polymer

A very large organic molecule made up of chains of smaller molecules is a BLANK .

burn

All hydrocarbons BLANK easily

Organic compounds

BLANK BLANK are compounds that contain carbon except for oxides of carbon and carbonates.

Nucleic

BLANK acids are very large organic molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus.

Hydrocarbons

BLANK are compounds that are made up of only hydrogen and carbon

Isomers

BLANK are compounds with the same molecular formulas but with different structural formulas

Fats, oils

BLANK are solid lipids at room temperature and BLANK are liquid lipids at room temperature.

Nucleotides

BLANK are the monomers (building blocks) that make up nucleic acids.

DNA

BLANK carries information from one generation to the next during reproduction. It is a very large ?.

Unsaturated

BLANK hydrocarbons have a double or triple covalent bond between the carbon atoms.

Saturated

BLANK hydrocarbons have only single covalent bonds between the carbon atoms.

Lipids

BLANK include fats, oils, waxes and cholesterol

Graphite

BLANK is a form of pure carbon is formed of layers that slide past one another

Diamond

BLANK is a form of pure carbon is so hard that it can be used in cutting tools

Cholesterol

BLANK is a waxy lipid that is used to build cell structures in animal cells.

Fiberglass

BLANK is an example of a composite compound that is made of a plastic resin and glass fibers.

Glucose

BLANK is one of the most important simple sugars found in your body.

carbon , hydrogen and oxygen .

Carbohydrates are organic molecules made up of BLANK, BLANK and BLANK

4

Carbon atoms form BLANK bonds

4

Carbon is able to bond with atoms of other elements in many different ways because it has BLANK valence electrons. This gives carbon an important role in the chemistry of living things.

fiber

Cellulose is sometimes called BLANK

deoxyribonucleic acid

DNA stands for BLANK

monomer

Each link in a long chain organic molecule is called a BLANK .

saturated

Eating foods containing BLANK fats can increase the level of cholesterol in your blood

starch or cellulose

Glucose molecules get linked together to form polymers we call BLANK or BLANK.

cholesterol

High levels of BLANK in your blood can contribute to heart disease.
