Organic:
Carbon skeleton
Hydrogen atoms attached
Living organisms use and make them
Functional Groups (of atoms):
Attach to carbon backbone
Determine properties of molecule
Types of Organic Macromolecules:
1. Carbohydrate
a. Made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
b. Primary energy source for animals
c. Ex. Sugars & starches
d. Monosaccharides
i. Simple sugars
ii. Usually contains 5 or 6 carbons
iii. Soluble in water
iv. Taste sweet
v. Ex. Glucose
Most common monosaccharide
Forms a ring in water
Rings can combine to form disaccharides
e. Disaccharides
i. Two monosaccharides joined together by dehydration synthesis
ii. The resulting bond is glycosidic
