Biochemistry 2-3CARBON COMPOUNDS
Chemistry of carbon
4 valence electrons(highly bondable!)Carbon can bond with carbon and form
long chainsMany variations of carbon bondingVersatile

Macromolecules “giant molecules”
4 major macromolecules Lipids Proteins Carbohydrates Nucleic Acids
Monomer- smaller macromolecule units Polymer- joined monomer units
Nucleic Acids (DNA/RNA)
Contain H, O, N, C and P Polymers made up of nucleotides (monomers)
Carbon sugarPhosphate groupNitrogenous base
Heredity!
Carbohydrates
Energy! Monosaccharides- single sugar molecules (glucose,
fructose) Polysaccharides- complex sugar molecules Ose= sugar
Lipids (fats, oils, waxes)
Not water soluble Difficult to breakdown. Store energy for later use Carbon, Hydrogen atoms Saturated fats- C atoms are all joined with the
maximum H atoms. Unsaturated fats= contain double bond of C Polynunsaturated fats- more than one double bond of
C
Proteins
Amino acids make up proteins
Diverse macromolecules (many combinations)
Many specific functions
