Organic Chemistry • All living things are mostly composed of
6 elements: C, H, N, O, P, S
• Compounds are broken down into 2 general categories:
• Inorganic Compounds: – Do not contain carbon
• Organic compounds – Contain significant amounts of carbon. – Often found with common "functional groups"

Carbon (C) • Carbon has 4 electrons in outer shell.
• Carbon can form covalent bonds with as many as 4 other atoms (elements).
• Usually with C, H, O or N. • Example: CH4(methane)

Macromolecules
• LARGE organic molecules. • Also called POLYMERS (poly- means
“many”)
– Made up of smaller “building blocks” called MONOMERS (mono- means “one”)
• 4 types: 1. Carbohydrates 2. Lipids 3. Proteins 4. Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA)

Lipids • Not soluble in water (do not dissolve). • Functions:
– Store the most energy – Make up cell membranes – Act as chemical messengers (hormones) – Protect and insulate
• Examples: 1. Fats 2. Phospholipids 3. Oils 4. Waxes 5. Steroid hormones 6. Triglycerides
