Organic Molecules Carbon = building block of organic molecules Carbon is unique – Unstable: 2 nd level not full – Will bond up to four times protons 6 electrons

Organic Molecules Carbon = building block of organic molecules Carbon is unique – Unstable: 2 nd level not full – Will bond up to four times Monomer: Small carbon molecules – Ex: Amino acid Polymer: chain of linked monomers – Ex: Protein monomer Polymer

Is Carbon stable with 4 electrons in its outer layer? Is Hydrogen stable with 1 electron in its layer? So what do atoms do when they are unstable? Problem: Drawing dot diagrams is time consuming. Try this instead! 1 dash = 2 electrons

The Same Thing… 1 dash = 2 electrons

Carbon creates 4 bonds to be stable Double bonds Triple bonds Ring structures Single bonds Very complex How many electrons? 1 Dash = 2 electrons

Carbohydrates Readily available food source C 1 : H 2 : O 1 ratio – Ex: Glucose = C 6 H 12 O 6 Monomer: Monosaccharides – Simple sugars – Bond to form larger sugars Polymer: Polysaccharide – Complex sugars Glucose (monosaccharide) Fructose (monosaccharide) Sucrose (Polysaccharide)

Opposite Reactions Dehydration synthesis – Water molecule (H2O) removed – Causes monomers to bond into polymers (large molecules built) Monomer 1Monomer 2 Polysaccharide water

Opposite Reactions Dehydration synthesis – Water molecule (H2O) removed – Causes monomers to bond into polymers (large molecules built) Hydrolysis – Water molecule (H2O) added – Causes polymers to break into monomers (large molecule broken apart) All organic molecules built/reduced by these reactions PolysaccharideWater Monomer 1 Monomer 2

Opposite Reactions

Carbohydrate Polymers: Polysaccharide Polysaccharides: Long chain of monosaccharides Ex: Starch: excess plant sugar converted & stored Ex: Glycogen: animal starch stored in liver & muscles Ex: Cellulose: used in plants to make cell walls glucose
