Chemistry of LifeChemistry of Life
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds
C atoms are versatile building blocks◦bonding properties◦4 stable covalent bonds -
pair of electrons are shared

Three of the four classes of macromolecules form chainlike molecules called polymers.◦Polymers consist of many similar or identical
building blocks linked by covalent bonds.
The repeated units are small molecules called monomers. (like links of a chain)
Most macromolecules are polymersMost macromolecules are polymers

4 MAIN MACROMOLECULES4 MAIN MACROMOLECULES
MOLECULE MONOMER USESProteins (amino acids) support/motionLipids (glycerol & fatty acids) energy storage/insulation
Carbohydrates (monosaccharides) quick energyNucleic acids (nucleotides) store information
• They all contain CARBON and are called ORGANIC molecules (Also hydrogen, oxygen are in all of them)
