Synthesis (Combination)
AB —> A + B
Ex. CO2 —> C + O2
Decomposition
A + BC —> AB + C
Ex. Mg + 2 HCI —> MgCl2 + H2
Single Replacement
AB + CD —> AD + BC
Double Replacement

Combustion
Acid + Base —> Salt + Water
Ex. HCI + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O
Acid-Base Neutralization
Biomolecules
An organic molecule (C-H bond) that is essential for life. Fuel for metabolism of an organism.
Proteins, Lipids, Carbohydrates, Nucleic Acids
Carbohydrates
Monomer: Monosaccharides
- Great source of energy
- Covalent Bond: Glycosidic Bond
Types: Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides
Monosaccharides
single sugar: Glucose (blood), Fructose (fruit), Galactose (brain)
Disaccharides
2 monosaccharides joined:
Glucose + Glucose - Maltose (malt sugar)
Glucose + Fructose - Sucrose ( table sugar)
Glucose + Galactose - Lactose (milk sugar)
Polysaccharides
Multiple monosaccharides:
- Starch: found in plants
- Glycogen: found in animals
- Cellulose: found in fibers and plant cell walls
Pectin - polysaccharide found in ripe fruits
Lipids
Monomer: Fatty Acids and Glycerol
- Energy Source. Long-term energy storage and serves as insulation.
- Covalent Bond: Ester Bond
Fatty Acid types
Saturated: solid in room temperature
Unsaturated: liquid in room temperature
Trans Fat: unsaturated fat that is forced to be straight and solid
4 Types of Lipids
Triglyceride - Fats and oils. Glycerol with 3 fatty acids
Phospholipid - containing a phosphate group in its molecule. Cell membrane (2 fatty acids + 1 phosphate)
Steroid - 4 rings of carbon for regulation
Wax - long-chain apolar lipids forming a protective coating on plants leaves, fruits, amd animals. Water-repellent
Proteins
Monomer: Amino Acids
- For structure
- Covalent Bond: Peptide Bond
Myosin and Actin - responsible for muscle cell contraction
Collagen- holds the body together
Amino Acids
Essential - from food
Non-essential- can be made by humans
Nucleic Acids
Monomer: Nucleotide
- For heredity
- covalent bond: Phisphodiester Bond & Hydrogen Bonds
Types: DNA, RNA, ATP
