Organic molecules and Carbohydrates (28 cards)
Organic molecules and Carbohydrates
Carbon
Can form 4 covalent bonds(1,2,3 bonds)
Can make many different molecules.
Organic molecules and Carbohydrates
Organic molecules
The molecules that makeup living organisms (aka molecules) . Based on an element.
Organic molecules and Carbohydrates
What is a polymer?
A larger molecule formed from bonding smaller ones together.
Organic molecules and Carbohydrates
How is a polymer made?
Condensation ( dehydration )
Organic molecules and Carbohydrates
Broken up through the process of
Hydrolysis (water-scissors)

Organic molecules and Carbohydrates
Used by the cells for….
-energy:glucose(blood)
-energy storage:glycogen(human liver,starch,plants)
Found fungi walls and insects exoskeleton.
Organic molecules and Carbohydrates
Pancreas:
An elongated organ located near the stomach and small intestines.
Organic molecules and Carbohydrates
Roles of pancreas
- process hormones for the blood(insulin,glycogen)
- produces digestive enzymes for the small intestine.
Organic molecules and Carbohydrates
Only _____ of all prancreatic cells produce hormones the cells are
1%
Alpha cells- glycogen production
Beta cells- Insulin production
Organic molecules and Carbohydrates
Insulin does what?
Decrease glucose levels
-pancreas tells cells to take glucose from the blood.
Organic molecules and Carbohydrates
Glycogen does what?
Blood glucose levels
Tells liver to break down glycogen stores.
Organic molecules and Carbohydrates
Type 1 diabetes (IDDM) :
- 20% of all cases
- insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
- destruction of the cells.
Organic molecules and Carbohydrates
Type 2 Diabetes NIDDM:
- 80% of all cases
- non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
- cells don’t respond effectively to insulin
- can lead to type 1 diabetes
Organic molecules and Carbohydrates
Early signs include
- frequent urination
- dehydration
- acidosis(low blood pH) from metabolizing fatty acids…
