A. Overview
• cells 72% water, 25% carbon-based compounds, 2% salts
• Carbon can form large, complex, and diverse molecules because each carbon atom makes 4 stable covalent bonds. • Proteins• Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA)• Carbohydrates• Lipids

•With 4 valence electrons, carbon can form four covalent bonds with a variety of atoms.• tetravalence makes large, complex molecules possible.•each carbon bonded to four other atoms has a tetrahedral shape.•However, when two carbon atoms are joined by a double bond, the molecule has a flat shape.

•Hydrocarbons are organic molecules consisting of only carbon and hydrogen.•Many organic molecules, such as fats, have hydrocarbon components in long hydrocarbon chains.•Hydrocarbons can undergo reactions that release a large amount of energy (i.e. gasoline).

• Hydrocarbons are non-polar, not soluble in H2O, hydrophobic• stable• very little attraction between molecules• gas at room temperature

C. Polymers• Long molecules built by linking repeating building blocks or monomers in a chain • covalent bonds• Put together by dehydration synthesis (remove H2O)

• joins monomers by “taking” H2O out• one monomer donates OH– ,other monomer donates H+
• requires energy & enzymes

• Digestion uses H2O to breakdown polymers
•reverse of dehydration synthesis•cleave off one monomer at a time•H2O is split into H+ and OH–
•H+ & OH– attach to ends• requires enzymes• releases energy

D. Functional Groups• Isomers are compounds with the same molecular
formula but different structures and properties:• Structural isomers have different covalent
arrangements of their atoms.• Geometric isomers have the same covalent
arrangements but differ in spatial arrangements.• Enantiomers are isomers that are mirror images of
each other.

•Enantiomers, mirror image isomers, important in the pharmaceutical industry.•Two enantiomers of a drug may have different effects.•Differing effects of enantiomers demonstrate that organisms are sensitive to even subtle variations in molecules.

•Distinctive properties of organic molecules depend not only on the carbon skeleton but also on the molecular components attached to it.• A number of characteristic groups are often attached to skeletons of organic molecules. These are called functional groups.
