Vocabulary: Organic Compound functional group monomer hydrolysis adenosine triphosphate (ATP) polymer macromolecule condensation reaction 1. How do inorganic and organic compounds differ? 2. How do carbon’s bonding properties contribute to the existence of a wide variety of biological molecules? 3. Name 4 types of functional groups. 4. What role do functional groups play in the molecules in which they are found? 5. How are monomers, polymers, and macromolecules related to each other? 6. How is a polymer broken down? 7. Why is ATP referred to as the “energy currency” in living things? 8. Analyzing concepts Humans are about 65% water, and tomatoes are about 90% water. Yet, water is not a major building block of life. Explain. 9. Analyzing concepts Carbon dioxide, CO2, contains carbon, yet it is considered to be inorganic. Explain. 10. Relating information Condensation reactions are also referred to as dehydration synthesis. Explain how the name dehydration synthesis is descriptive of the process. 11.
