Organic Compounds |
An organic compound is anything in the gas liquid or solid chemical compounds |
Molecules contain carbon Covalently connected |
|
|
Carbohydrates |
Carbohydrates (carbs) is the one way your body breaks down food, turning it into nutrients (glucose). |
Gives cells energy Turning glucose into blood sugar |
|
|
Monosaccharides |
Monosaccharides are the simple carbohydrates. Containing of normally one sugar, they are usually colorless and water-soluble. |
Usually has a sweet taste Contains glucose, fructose, etc |
|
|
Disaccharides |
Disaccharides are a sugar that have two monosaccharides. It's made when two sugars are combined and the water is removed. |
Carbohydrate Has two monosaccharides |
|
|
Polysaccharides |
Polysaccharides are carbohydrate molecule made from chains of monosaccharides that are formed together. |
Bond together The range between structure is between linear and highly branched |
|
|
Lipids |
Lipids are a group made from natural molecules such as fats, waxes, etc |
Fats and vitamins Natural occurred molecules |
|
|
Fatty acids & glycerol |
Fatty acids are an acid that contain a hydrocarbon chain |
Carboxyl group Fats and oils |
|
|
Saturated & unsaturated fats |
Saturated fats hold as much water as possible, while unsaturated fats hold as lesson water as possible |
Thoroughly soaked Dried, less soaked |
|
