1. Organic Compounds found in living things Carbohydrates Carbohydrates Lipids Lipids Nucleic Acids Nucleic Acids Proteins Proteins ALL CONTAIN CARBON!!

2. Carbohydrates What do you think the importance of Carbohydrates are? 1.Provide energy that cells need. 2.Help build cell structures.

3. Carbohydrates Examples: 1. Sugars- 1. Sugars- Monosaccharides such as Glucose, Fructose, and Galactose 2.Disaccharides- 2.Disaccharides- Which contains two monosaccharides. Such as: sucrose 3. Polysaccharides- 3. Polysaccharides- many monosaccharides combined together like a chain. Such as: Starch, glycogen

4. LIPIDS Glycerol + 3 Fatty Acids = Lipid 1 Glycerol 3 Fatty Acid Chains

5. Lipids functions are: 1. Help in long term energy storage (fats) 2. Protection and Insulation 3. Membrane structure 4. Acting as a chemical messenger LIPIDS FUNCTION

6. Lipids can be: 1.Fats 2.Steroids 3.Phospholipids LIPIDS FORM

7. Proteins Proteins Functions are: 1.Help in structure of bones and muscle 2.Regulate cell processes and chemical reactions 3.Help transport substances in and out of the cell. 4.Help fight against foreign substances Protein Forms include: 1.Enzymes 2. Hormones 3. Cell membrane proteins

8. Nucleic Acids Nucleic Acid Functions: 1.Form genes- store genetic info and transmit genetic information 2.Help aid in protein synthesis. Nucleic Acids: 1.DNA 2.RNA

9. What are the four essential organic compounds found in living things? What do ALL organic compounds have (what element)?

10. Stop Point: Organic Compounds Foldable

11. 1. What is the structure? (example: carbon, etc) 2. What is the smallest unit? (example: monosaccharide) 3. Give an example (ie; sugars, fats, etc) 4. What is it’s function? 5. The actual structural picture (should help you with number 1).
