| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a compound is only organic if he contains | Carbon |
| carbon often bonds itself with... | hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen |
| carbon can bond itself with four other atoms, so its good at | forming different types of compounds |
| How does carbon get in our bodies | eating other living things (plants) |
| how do plants absorb carbon from the air and how does this make it the foundation of every food web | photosynthesis |
| what are macromolecules | Large molecule |
| what are the four main important marcromolecules important to living things | carbohydrate, proteins, lipids,nucleic acids |
| what are polymers | Long chain of smaller molecules called monomers |
| building blocks = | simple sugars |
| many building blocks= | complex carbohydrate |
| Glucose storage in plants | starch |
| what is glyogen | stored glucose in muscle cells |
| organic main function | provides quick cell energy |

| what are lips elements | c,h,o |
| what are the four types of lipid | fat-long term, phosphclips, steroids, waxes |
| what is fat- long term | energy storage, organ cushioning, insulation |
| what is phospholipds | this froms cell membranes |
| what are steroids | harmones that regulate the body. made cholesterol |
| lipids main function is | stores energy |
| what are proteins elements | carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen |
