Carbon Compounds 2:3

2. Carbon – Atomic number is 6….
A. Can forms up to 4 bonds with other elements or itself.
1. Can form straight, ringed, or branched chains.

4. B. Organic Compounds
1. All living things that contain the carbon element, are considered (ORGANIC).
Exception – Carbon Dioxide does contain carbon and is a NON – LIVING thing.
Inorganic – are NON-living things that do not contain carbon.

5. 3. Functional groups – a cluster of atoms that influences or alters the chemical properties of the molecule they compose.
It is common to see functional groups attached with or to a carbon backbone molecule.

7. A. Monomers – smaller units that join together forming larger molecules.
B. Polymers - formed by 2 or more monomers linked together.
C. Macromolecules – Giant molecules- polymerization, formed from the building of polymers.

8. Reactions
Condensation reaction (dehydration)– in this type of reaction 2 monomers combine, losing 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom producing a water molecule.
Hydrolysis reaction – occurs when polymers break apart splitting a water molecule, restoring the 2 hydrogen and one oxygen back on to the compound.

10. Made up of Adenosine and 3 phosphate,
5. Energy Currency –
Is stored and released in the energy molecule known as ATP.
A. ATP - Adenosine tri-phosphate
Made up of Adenosine and 3 phosphate,
A-P-P-P “Energy molecule” of the cell.
B. Life processes requires energy.
1. Energy is available to all cells in the form ATP. Energy is released when a phosphate breaks off, forming Adenosine Di-phosphate,
A – P – P (ADP)
