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.
