Organic Molecules
Organic molecules are found in living
things.
The chemistry of carbon accounts for the
chemistry of organic molecules.
Organic molecules are macromolecules.
2-3
Hydrocarbon chains can have functional
groups that cause the macromolecule to
behave in a certain way.

Macromolecules (polymers) are formed from
smaller building blocks called monomers.

Triglycerides
• Are used to store energy, insulate, and protect.
• Are composed of long fatty acid chains
attached to a glycerol backbone
• Have a lot of bonds in their FACs and
therefore store “a whole whack” of energy!

Phospholipids
• Make up the cell membrane and membranous
organelles.
• Are composed of two fatty acid chains and a
phosphate group attached to a glycerol
backbone.
• Have a polar “head” and a non-polar
(neutral) “tail”.

Steroids
• Commonly act as hormones that will “turn on”
or “turn off” genes.
• Are made of four fused carbon rings and
differ mostly because of their “attachments”
(side branches)
• Can travel right through the cell membrane as
they are non-polar.

DNA
• stays in nucleus.
• contains sections called
genes which code for
proteins (amino acid
sequences).
• is the genetic material
passed on to offspring
during reproduction .
RNA
• is copied from our DNA.
• leaves nucleus to allow
proteins to be made in the
cytoplasm.
• is temporary as it is
broken down shortly after
being used.
