LABORATORY 1 Flashcards
Made of various chemical components
Cells
Molecules usually small, that typically lack carbon
Inorganic compounds
Includes water, oxygen, carbon dioxide and many salts, acid and bases
Organic compounds
Always contain carbon and hydrogen, large molecules includes lipids, carbohydrates, protein, and nucleic acid
Organic compounds
The elements that make up organic compounds, that living things are made of
Carbon
The versality of “carbon” allows to bond with itself and with other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen to form__
