Presentation Transcript
Four Organic Compounds: • Carbohydrates • Lipids • Proteins • Nucleic Acids Why organic?
Three Types of Carbohydrates: • Monosaccharide – “mono” means one a single sugar • Disaccharide – “di” means two two sugars • Polysaccharide – “poly” means many sugars
Common Lipid Structures Phospholipid Triglyceride Saturated (solid lipid) Unsaturated (liquid lipid)
= Polypeptide Chain peptide bond
Polypeptide Chain Polypeptide Chain = Chain of Amino Acids = Protein (amine group) Peptide bonds = bonds between amino acids
