  1. Section 2–3 Carbon Compounds This section explains how the element carbon able to form millions of carbon, or organic, compounds. It describes the four groups of organiccompounds found in living things.

  2. The Chemistry of Carbon

  3. How many valence electrons does each carbon atom have? Each carbon atom has four electrons.

  4. What gives carbon the ability to form chains that are almost unlimited in length? A carbon atom can bond to other carbon atoms.

  5. Many of the molecules in living cells are so large that they are known as. Macromolecules

  6. What is the process called by which macromolecules are formed? Polymerization

  7. When monomers join together, what do they form? Polymers

  8. What are four groups of organic compounds found in living things? Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Nucleic Acids Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Nucleic Acids

  9. What atoms make up carbohydrates? Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms make up carbohydrates.

  10. Circle the letter of each sentence that is true about carbohydrates. • Starches and sugars are examples of carbohydrates. • Living things use them as their main source of energy. • The monomers in sugar polymers are starch molecules. • Plants and some animals use them for strength and rigidity.

  11. Single sugar molecules are also called . Monosaccharides

  12. Circle the letter of each monosaccharide. galactose glucose fructose

  13. 11. What are polysaccharides? They are large macromolecules formed from monosaccharides.

  14. 12. How do plants and animals store excess sugar? • Plants use a polysaccharide called plantstarch, whereas animals use a polysaccharide called glycogen.

  15. Chapter 2, The Chemistry of Life

  16. Lipids What kinds of atoms are lipids mostly made of? They are made mostly of carbon andhydrogen atoms.

  17. What are three common categories of lipids? Waxes fats Oil

  18. 15. Many lipids are formed when a glycerol molecule combines with compoundscalled . Fatty Acids

  19. 16. Circle the letter of each way that fats are used in living things. • As parts of biological membranes b. To store energy c. To give plants rigidity d. As chemical messengers

  20. 17. Complete the table about lipids.

  21. 18. Nucleic acids contain what kinds of atoms? They contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus atoms.

  22. 19. The monomers that make up nucleic acids are known as . Nucleotides

  23. 20. A nucleotide consists of what three parts? It consists of a nitrogenous base, a phosphate group, and a 5-carbon sugar.

  24. 21. What is the function of nucleic acids in living things? Nucleic acids store and transmithereditary, or genetic, information.

  25. Kind of Lipid Description

  26. Saturated Each carbon atom in a lipid’s fatty acid chain is joined to another carbon atom by a single bond.

  27. Unsaturated There is at least one carbon-carbon double bond in a fatty acid.

  28. Polyunsaturated A lipid’s fatty acids contain more than one double bond.

  29. Chapter 2, The Chemistry of Life

  30. 22. What are two kinds of nucleic acids? • Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) • Ribonucleic acid (RNA) DNA RNA

  31. 23. Proteins contain what kinds of atoms? They contain nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.

  32. 24. Proteins are polymers of molecules called . AMINO ACIDS

  33. 25. What are four roles that proteins play in living things? • Some control the rate of reactions and regulate cell processes. • Some are used to form bones and muscles. • Some transport substances into or out of cells. • Some help to fight diseases.
