Biomolecules and Organic compounds

An element is any substance that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance( The smallest unit of an element is an atom )

any chemical that is made of two or more different elements( When two or more elements combine = compound )

inorganic / organic

Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen and are usually associated with living things. ( An organic Compound always includes Carbon joined/ bonded with itself or hydrogen)

Carbon and hydrogen are not the only elements that might be organic compounds - Oxygen - Sulfur -Nitrogen -Phosphorus

C- carbon H- hydrogen O- oxygen N- nitrogen P- phosphorus S- sulfur

Inorganic compound do not contain carbon Ex: Water, Salt, and and acids like sulfric acids

All organic compounds contain carbon, but not every compound containing carbon is organic.

Element of the periodic table

No Carbon dioxide is not organic because, since its carbon atom is not joined to other carbon atoms or hydrogen

Basic building block of all matter

Fats, Proteins, Nucleic acids, and Carbohydrates

Macromolecule is a Polymer(many parts) made up of small monomers(one part) chained together

4 organic macromolecules(Large molecule) that carry out life proscess

1- Carbohydrates(Starch and sugar) C.H.O 2- Lipids(Fats) C.H.O 3- Proteins(from meat) C.H.O.N.P 4- Nucleic acids(DNA) C.H.O.N.P

Building block

proteins that speed up chemical reactions

Monomer- Glucose Enzyme- Amylase

Monomer-Amino Acids Enzyme- Pepsin

Monomer- Fatty acids Enzyme- lipase
