| Question | Answer |
| carbon compounds | 25% of cells are carbon compounds carbohydrates lipids proteins nucliec acids |
| organic chemistry | the study of carbon compounds |
| carbon atoms | bonding properties 4 stable covalent bonds |
| properties of hydrocarbons | carbon & hydrogen non - polar hydrophobic stable little attraction between bonds gases at room temperature |
| ethane vs. ethanol | ethane: hydrogen non polar gas ethanol: hydroxyl group polar liquid |
| functional groups | parts of organic molecules that are involved in chemical reactions and male hydrocarbons hydrophilic Ex. hydroxyl amino carbonyl sulhydryl carboxyl phosphate |
| male and female carbon compounds | basic structure is identical but they interact with different functional groups different functional groups HO - estradiol CH3 - testosterone |
| hydroxyl | OH alcohols Ex. ethanol |
| carbonyl | C=O if C=O at end: aldehyde if C=O in middle: ketone |
| carboxyl | COOH C double bonded to O and single bonded to OH group compounds with COOH = acids Ex. fatty acids, amino acids |
| amino | NH2 compounds with NH2 = amines amino acts as a base |
