explain how organic (carbon) compounds form

carbon atoms have four positions to four other atoms. carbon can bond to itself and other elements. allowing a great variety of compounds

explain one reaction to make or break carbon compounds

condensation reaction monomers link together to form polymers and water is produced

explain another reaction to make or break carbon compounds

hydrolysis using water to break the bonds of complex molecule

define ATP

compound with a large amount of energy. the energy is used by the cell for its chemical reactions

define monosaccharide

monomer of carbohydrate and simple sugar (glucose, fructose, galactose)

define disaccharide

double sugar

define polysaccharide

complex molecule composed of three or more monomers (starch in plants, glycogen in animals)

define peptide bond

bond between amino acids that make up proteins

name the function and building block for carbohydrates

stores energy monosaccharide

name the function and building block for protein

muscles skin rate of reactions amino acids

name the function and building block for lipids

stores energy and cell membranes fatty acids

name the function and building block for nucleic acids

stores genetic information nucleotides

give an example for carbohydrates

glucose sucrose starch glycogen

give an example for lipids

triglycerides steroids wax phospholipids

give an example for protein

dipeptide enzyme

give an example for nucleic acids

DNA RNA
