• In Chemistry, the term ORGANIC
describes chemical compounds that
contain CARBON and other elements
such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen,
sulfur, or phosphorus.
• Compounds can be classified into two
main groups: Organic and Inorganic.
• Organic Compounds contain carbon
that usually bonded to hydrogen,
oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, or phosphorus.
• Inorganic Compounds do not contain
carbon atom.

• Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen(CHO)
are the major elements of
carbohydrates.
• It is the main source of energy.
• It can make up cell structures.
• It is used as a stored energy in plants.
• Monosaccharide (glucose and
fructose)
• Disaccharide (maltose and sucrose)
• Polysaccharide (starch, glycogen,
cellulose)
• Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen(CHO)
are the major elements of Lipids.
• The uses of lipids includes the
following: storing energy, components
cell membranes, signaling, waterproof
covering.
• Triglycerides (fats, oil, and
waxes)
• Steroids
• Phospholipids
• Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and
Nitrogen(CHON) are the major
elements of Proteins.
• Proteins are used for cellular
structures, controls substances in and
out of the cell, and fights diseases.
