1 Major Organic Compounds

2 Atoms Elements Molecule Compound Cell
smallest unit of matter that retains its chemical properties Atoms a substance made up of only one type of atom (periodic table of elements) Elements bonding between atoms of 1 or more elements; smallest unit of a compound Molecule chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportions Compound ATOM - smallest unit of matter that retains its chemical properties ELEMENTS - a substance made up of only one type of atom (periodic table of elements) MOLECULE - bonding between atoms of 1 or more elements; smallest unit of a compound COMPOUND - chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportions CELL - collection of compounds forming a living Unit; smallest unit of an organism that can be considered living collection of compounds forming a living unit; smallest unit of an organism that can be considered living Cell

3 Molecular Organization
molecular levels of organization from smallest to cell atom element molecule MOLECULAR ORGANIZATION molecular levels of organization from smallest to cell Can a substance be both an element and a molecule? yes, hydrogen is an element and two hydrogen atoms combine to form a molecule of free hydrogen in the air Can a substance be both a molecule and a compound? yes, water is a compound of the elements hydrogen and oxygen in a definite proportion of 2 H to 1 O, and it can also be a single molecule of water H2O What is O2? O3? O2 is the element oxygen and also a molecule of free oxygen in the air O3 is a molecule of ozone and the compound ozone CO2 NaCl compounds C6H12O6 cell

4 6 Essential Elements C H N O P S Hydrogen Carbon Nitrogen Oxygen
Phosphorus Sulfur C H N O P S

5 Organic Molecules ORGANIC compounds contain a carbon-hydrogen bond (C6H12O6, CH4) Covalent bonding is found in organic compounds ORGANIC MOLECULES ORGANIC compounds contain a carbon-hydrogen bond (C6H12O6, CH4) INORGANIC MOLECULES INORGANIC compounds do not contain a carbon-hydrogen bonds (CO2, H2O)

6 INORGANIC compounds do not contain a carbon-hydrogen bonds (CO2, H2O)
Inorganic Molecules INORGANIC compounds do not contain a carbon-hydrogen bonds (CO2, H2O) ORGANIC MOLECULES ORGANIC compounds contain a carbon-hydrogen bond (C6H12O6, CH4) INORGANIC MOLECULES INORGANIC compounds do not contain a carbon-hydrogen bonds (CO2, H2O)

7 Organic Molecules Inorganic Molecules
CO2 water lipid protein most important inorganic compound in living things nucleic acid most cellular processes take place in water solutions ORGANIC MOLECULES lipid, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, protein INORGANIC MOLECULES CO2 water: most important inorganic compound in living things most cellular processes take place in water solution excellent solvent (substances dissolve in water) carbohydrate excellent solvent (substances dissolve in water)
