Carbon Compounds

Learning Objectives Describe the unique qualities of carbon. Describe the structures and functions of each of the four

groups of macromolecules.

The Chemistry of Carbon

Chain Ring Branching chain

Biomolecules

Monomers

Polymer

Biomolecules are large organic molecules found in living things.

Carbohydrates

Polymer Monomer

Polysaccharide Monosaccharide

Living things use carbohydrates as sources of energy and for structural purposes.

Lipids

Unsaturated

Lipids are a large and varied group of biomolecules that are not generally soluble in water.

Fatty Acids

Nucleic AcidsNucleic acids are polymers made of nucleotide monomers.

Nitrogenous base

5-carbon sugar

Phosphate group

ProteinsProteins are polymers made of amino acid monomers.

Amino group: - NH2

Carboxyl group: - COOHAmino group

Carboxyl group

Peptide bond

Protein StructureA protein is a functional molecule built from one or more polypeptides.

Making ModelsMake a three-dimensional model of a nucleic acid or a protein. Include a key of your model showing what each part represents.
