Inorganic compounds:
Compounds that lack both carbon
and hydrogen together.
Examples:
Organic Compounds:
Compounds that contain both
carbon and hydrogen.
Examples:
What are the 4 groups of organic
compounds?
1. Carbohydrates
2. Lipids (fats)
3. Proteins
4. Nucleic Acids (DNA)
Each group has a monomer,
which is a small building
block or subunit
Monomers are put together to
build the polymer of the group
• Cells link monomers to form polymers by
dehydration synthesis

1. Carbohydrates
- Function: energy storage and
structure
- Foods with carbohydrates:
Pastas, cereals, potatoes
Carbohydrates…..

Carbohydrates
-Monomer: simple sugar called
a monosaccharide
-Ex: glucose, fructose, galactose
Draw a glucose molecule
here! Your teacher will show
you how to draw it!
Carbohydrates…..
molecular structure
Carbohydrates
- Polymer: complex carbohydrate
called polysaccharides
Ex: starches in plants (energy)
cellulose in plants (structure)
glycogen in animals (energy)

carbohydrate…(a polymer)…..

2. Lipids
- Function:- energy storage
- cell membrane
structure
- chemical messengers
- Characteristics – contain C,H,O
- oils – liquid at room temp.
- fats – solid at room temp.
2. Lipids
- Foods with lipids:
butter, cheese, red meats,
chocolate, ice cream
Lipids……
milk
cheese
hamburger

2. Lipids
- Monomer: glycerol and 3 fatty
acids
Your teacher will have you
draw these monomers here.
- Polymer: fats and oils
sterols (cholesterols)
phospholipids (part
of cell membrane)
2. Lipids
Lipids can be
saturated – with single
bonds between C’s in fatty
acid tails (red meats, dairy)
unsaturated - with double bonds
between C’s in fatty acid tails
(fish oils, veg. oil)
Saturated = tails w/NO double bonds
Unsaturated = tails w/ double bonds
3. Proteins – A diverse group!
Characteristics: all contain
Nitrogen (N)
- Function: Movement (muscles), help
chemical reactions (enzymes - catalysts),
immunity (antibodies), messengers
(hormones), transporters (in blood)
- Foods with proteins:
meats, fish, cheese, yogurt
Proteins….
cheese
fish … mmm
yogurt

hamburger
3. Proteins – A diverse group!
- Monomer: amino acids (20 types)
Your teacher will have you draw
these monomers here.
- Polymer: Polypeptide chain
(protein chain)
Building a complex
carbohydrate…(a polymer)…..
Dipeptide
Peptide Bond
http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/BioBookTOC.html
The sequence of amino
acids in the chain will
determine the protein’s
shape and function!!!
Many foods contain more than one
group of organic compound…
tacos
cupcakes

4. Nucleic Acids
- Characteristics –
made of C,N,O,H,P.
- Monomer: nucleotides
your teacher will have you draw
a nucleotide here.
- Polymer: DNA, RNA (polynucleotides)
- Function: storage of genetic
information

Maltose is ONE type of
dissaccharide (double sugar)

Double Sugars and their Monomers
• Maltose (malt sugar) is made of 2
glucoses
• Sucrose (table sugar) is made of 1
glucose and 1 fructose
• Lactose (milk sugar) is made of 1
glucose and 1 galactose
• All if these sugars have the same
chemical formula, but their structures
are slightly different from each other.
• This means that they are isomers!
