Compounds3. Carbohydrates4. Fats/Lipids5. Proteins6. Nucleic Acids

Remember…

• ELEMENTS are pure substances made of the same atom throughout. – Ex: Carbon, Aluminum, Nitrogen, Oxygen,

Helium, Magnesium, Gold, Silver, etc. (92 of them)

– They are all on the periodic table.

Compounds• A substance formed from two or more

different elements that are chemically combined (bonded)

• The elements lose their individual chemical properties and the compound has new properties.

• Cannot be easily separated

REVIEW

Large compounds to small ones

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy

or

NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 NaC2H3O2 + H2CO3

or

14 KMnO4 + 4 C3H5(OH)3 7 K2CO3 + Mn2O3 +

5 CO2 + 16 H2O

Organic Compound

• A Compound that contains organic Carbon and other atoms– usually Hydrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, Sulfur, or Nitrogen.

CHOPSN

90% of all compoundsare organic

Organic Requirements

Organic Compounds have the following properties:

1. MUST contain Carbon (C)2. Must have a C-H bond (carbon-hydrogen). 3. Carbon may also be combined with

Sulfur (S), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), and/or Phosphorus (P) 4. Living or from something that was living

CARBON

sulfur

phosphorus

Carbohydrates• Molecules containing

Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. Breaks down into sugars. There are simple and complex ones.

• Provide energy for cells (bodies)

• EX: Pasta, bread, candy, fruits, potatoes

Fats/Lipids• Large complex molecule

containing Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Phosphorus. Breaks down into fatty acids. Lipids (fats) are an important part of every living cell.

• Stores energy, provides protection

• EX: Fats, oils, cholesterol milk, nuts, chips, meat

• Large complex molecules containing Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and sometimes Nitrogen and Sulfur. Proteins break down into amino acids.

• Proteins can be broken down into smaller parts called amino acids. Life on Earth is a protein and amino acid- based. They support cell structure/control cell processes.

• EX: nuts, eggs, fish, meat, beans, peanut butter

Proteins

Nucleic Acids• Molecules containing

Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Phosphorus.

• DNA stores our genetic information. Determines our physical characteristics - eye color, shape (traits)

• Found in DNA/RNA in our cells
