Orgaanic Compounds

Biology Carbon Compounds

QuestionAnswer
Organic Chemistry All chemistry in living things (metabolism)
Carbon atoms form... Chains (hydrocarbons), branches, or rings
Macromolecule Molecule made up of polymers
Polymerization Monomers joining together to form polymers
Hydrolysis "water splitting" Breakdown of polymers into monomers. Water is split into OH and H and then combined with monomer
Organic Compounds No (nucleic acid) Cats (Carbohydrates) Like (lipids) Puppies (proteins)
Make Up of Carbohydrate cho 121 (Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen in ratio 1:2:1)
Glucose Monosaccharide (sugar) that we get energy from
Fructose Sugar in fruits
Galactose Sugar found in milk
Monosaccharides Glucose, Fructose, Galactose
Disaccharides Sucrose, lactose, maltose
Sucrose glucose+fructose
Lactose Glucose+Galactose
Maltose Glucose+Glucose
Starch Extra sugar in plants
Glycogen Excess sugar in animals
Polysaccharides Many monosaccharides together
Examples of Lipids Fats, oils, waxes, steroids
Lipids made from Carbon and hydrogen
Lipids made of glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acids
Carboxyl Group COOH (Carbon,oxygen, oxygen, hydrogen)
Hydrophilic Water loving- attracted to water
Unsaturated Double bonds so not maximum number of hydrogens
Saturated All single bonds, max number of hydrogens
Triglycerides Liquid lipids at room temp (veggie oil)
Nucleic Acids Composition NCHOP (Nitrogen, Carbin, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus)
Nucleotides Make up nucleic acids- covelently bonded
Proteins Composition CHON (Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen)
Proteins made of... Chains of amino acids
R Group Makes proteins different
Number of different R Groups (Number of amino acids) 20- other differences made by sequince
Amino acids interact by shape

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
