Organic Compounds Carbon Macromolecules Chapter 2-3
Organic Compounds Considered the chemical compounds of living things because of their association with organisms and because they all contain the atom carbon Four major categories found in all living things: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
“Words” to know: Dehydration=____________________ Removing water Hydro=___________________ Synthesis=____________________ Lysis=____________________ Mono=_____________ Poly=______________ Monomer= ______________________ Polymer= __________________________________ Removing water water To build or make To break one many Building Block Larger molecule made of monomers
V. Processes of building or breaking down molecules A. Polymerization/Dehydration Synthesis- Making polymers from monomers. B. Hydrolysis- a process in which polymers are broken down into monomers.
B. Dehydration Synthesis- the process by which polymerization occurs. - a process (chemical reaction) in which water is removed and monomers are joined to build polymers(macromolecules)
POLYMERIZATION BY DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS
DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS
Name the process From AB? From BA? A. B.
Monomers come together to make polymers Name the process Monomers come together to make polymers
Simple(single) sugars come together to make more complex sugars
Monomers Polymer Organic Compound
Monomer (Fatty acid and Glycerol ) Polymer - Lipid
C. Hydrolysis – a process (chemical reaction) in which water is added and macromolecules (polymers) are broken down into the single unit monomers.
