Homework• Answer Questions 1-7 of the Chapter 2 Assessment
Review• Because Carbon has 4 valence electrons, it can create strong
covalent bonds with other elements• Bonds can be:
• Single• Double• Triple
Review• These are massive amounts of molecules.• Formed by polymerization
• Combining small compounds to create larger ones• Smaller ones – monomers • Larger – Polymers• Divided into four categories
Review• Carbohydrates• Lipids• Nucleic acids• Proteins • Where do we see these in everyday life?
Carbohydrates•Simple sugars – Monosaccharides
• Galactose – milk• Fructose – fruit
Complex Sugars• Marcromolocules created from monosaccharides
Lipids• Fats, oils and waxes• Not soluble in water• Used to store energy
Saturated/Unsaturated Lipids• SATURATED• Carbon joined by a single bond with hydrogen• Maximum number of Hydrogen bonds
•UNSATURATED• At least 1 carbon double bond
Nucleic Acid• Macromolecule
• Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and phosphorus• Transmits and stores genetic information• 2 kinds of nucleic acid:• DNA and RNA
Protein• Contain nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen•ACTION• For important cellular structures• Transport substances in and out of cells to fight disease
Chemical Reactions• Changes one set of chemicals to another• Involve changes in the chemical bonds that join atoms in
compounds.• What can be applied to a set of chemicals that can change
their shape?• How can you change waters shape?
Enzyme• Catalyst – Speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction• Less energy needed to be applied to create reaction
Exampleoxidation of hydrocarbons in automobile exhaustsCatalyst: copper(II) oxide, vanadium(V) oxide, platinum, palladium
