Document Summary
90-70% water, rest is carbon based compound: organic compound. Carbon skeletons (end carbon is called terminal carbon) Insoluble in h2o: funcional groups, hydroxyl group ( ch) Polar (presence of the hydrogen; oxygen is very electronegaive) Carbon atom that has a double covalent bond to o (oxygen: aldehyde ( cho) Carbon joined by double covalent bond to oxygen and by single covalent bond to oh. Phospholipids & nucleic acids: methyl group ( ch3) Macromolecules: 1000"s of atoms, 4 classes in cells: Nucleic acids: polymer, macromolecule produced by linking small compounds called monomers, monomer idenical (similar) 2 monomers covalently bonded through loss of h2o molecule. Ho x oh + ho x oh ho x o x . Ho x o x oh + h2o ho x oh + ho . 5. 2: carbohydrates, proteins, & nucleic acids are polymers. 3 to 7 c + oh group + carbonyl group. Polar hydrophilic: ose, monosaccharides single sugars.
