  1. Chapter 2The Chemistry of Life Section 3 Carbon Compounds

  2. carbon • What element do all organic compounds contain?

  3. monomer • Small units that link together to form larger molecules

  4. carbohydrate • Made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio

  5. lipid • Made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen; mostly carbon and hydrogen

  6. Amino acid • Monomers or building blocks of proteins

  7. polymer • Large molecules created by linking monomers together

  8. monosaccharide • Simple sugars

  9. Nucleic acid • DNA and RNA; holds and allows genetic information to be transferred from parent to offspring

  10. protein Macromolecules of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen; made of amino acids

  11. nucleotide • Monomers of nucleic acids; made of a sugar, phosphate and nitrogen base

  12. protein • What class of organic compounds composes our hair, skin, nails, muscles and enzymes

  13. lipids • Provides waterproof covering especially in plants and makes up cell membranes

  14. carbohydrates • Provides our largest source of energy; includes glucose, starch, cellulose, and glycogen

  15. What classes of organic compounds can be found in a Hershey bar?

  16. What classes of compounds can be found in milk?
