●● What is Lactose intolerance?
Answer: the inability to properly digest lactose
●● What does a cell mainly consist of?
Answer: water and the rest are carbon-based molecules
●● What can carbon form?
Answer: large, complex, and diverse molecules necessary for life's
functions
●● What are organic compounds?
Answer: carbon-based molecules
●● What makes carbon a versatile molecule?
Answer: carbon can share electrons with other atoms in four covalent
bonds
,●● What contributes to the diversity of carbon skeletons?
Answer: varying size and branching pattern
●● Which elements can carbon atoms in organic compounds commonly
bond with?
Answer: hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen
●● What are carbon skeletons?
Answer: the backbone structures of organic molecules primarily
composed of carbon atoms, forming chains or branches.
●● How can carbon skeletons vary?
Answer: length, branching, double bond position, presence of rings
●● What is the simplest organic compound?
Answer: Methane (CH4).
It is a single carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms
●● What are larger organic compounds, and where are they commonly
found?
Answer: the main molecules in gasoline and are also important fuels in
your body
, ●● What are hydrocarbons?
Answer: organic molecules consisting of only carbon and hydrogen
●● What unique properties do organic compounds depend on?
Answer: its carbon skeleton and the atoms attached to the skeleton
●● What are functional group?
Answer: the groups of atoms directly involved in chemical reactions
●● How many functional groups do biological molecules have?
Answer: two or more
●● What are macromolecules?
Answer: many of life's molecules that are gigantic on a molecular level
●● What are categories of macromolecules?
Answer: carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids
●● What are polymers?
Answer: large molecules made by stringing together many smaller
molecules called monomers
