Organic and Biochemical Compounds (5.4) Notes Organic Compounds An organic compound is a covalently bonded compound that contains ________________ and usually hydrogen as well. When a compound is made only of carbon and hydrogen atoms it is called a ______________________. Carbon can form up to______ total bonds because it can share up to four valence electrons. Alcohols ______________ are organic compounds that are made of oxygen as well as carbon and hydrogen. Alcohols have hydroxyl or –OH groups. Most alcohol’s chemical names end in –_____. Polymers A large molecule that is formed by more than five monomers, or small units is called a ________________. Poly- means “___________,” and the original molecule that is repeated is called a “monomer”. Examples of natural polymers include: ___________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Examples of man-made polymers include_____________ and ______________. Plastics are typically flexible and easily molded. Fibers form long thin strands. Properties of polymers are determined by their _________________. Polymer molecules are like long, thin ______________. Like a bowl of spaghetti, polymer molecules are tangled but can _____________ over each other. Plastics are flexible, but not elastic. When chains are connected or cross-linked like volleyball net, they become more _____________like rubber bands. Biochemical Biochemical compounds are naturally occurring organic compounds that are very Compounds important to _________________ __________________. Carbohydrates give you _______________. ______________ form important parts of your body, like muscles, tendons, fingernails, and hair. The DNA inside cells gives your body information about what proteins you need. Carbohydrates, Proteins, and DNA are all ____________________. A Carbohydrate is any organic compound that is made of carbon, ____________________, and oxygen that provides nutrients to the cells of living things. Glucose and starch are examples of carbohydrates. Proteins are made of many different molecules called ___________ __________. __________determines your entire genetic make-up. Unlike many other polymers that form in one chain, DNA forms paired chains. Its twisted ladder shape is known as the ________________ _____________. _____________________ are copies of your genetic material located in most cells.
