Organic Molecule Ex.
CH4
Macromolecule
Very large number of atoms
Molecule
2+ atoms chemically bonded together
Compound
2+ DIFFERENT atoms chemically bonded together
Monomer
Single building block of macromolecules
Polymer
Multiple monomers
4 types of Macromolecules
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, amino acids
Macromolecules are mostly made of…
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
CARBS
Sugars that provide energy for the body
Carbohydrate Ratio
1:2:1
Carbs Example
Pasta, flour, bread, sucrose
Carbohydrate Monomers
Monosaccharides, ex. glucose and fructose
Carbohydrate Polymers
Disaccharides and Polysaccharides
Glycosidic Linkage
Connects two monosaccharides by covalent bond
Dehydration Synthesis
Releases one H2O molecule during Glycosidic Linkage
Hydrolysis
Opposite of dehydration synthesis.
LIPIDS
Store energy (provided by carbohydrates)
Lipid Examples
Oils, fats, waxes
Lipids don’t have true…
Polymers
Lipids are (in relation to macromolecules)
Not generally big enough to be macromolecules, but are still important.
Lipids are hydrophobic/hydrophilic?
Hydrophobic
What are fats made of?
Glycerol and fatty acids
Fatty Acids made of
Long hydrocarbon chains
