Compounds
• Review: What is a compound?
• A substance that contains: ____________________________________
• All compounds can be classified into 2 categories:
1. ___________ compounds contain carbon atoms and are found in
living things.
2. ___________compounds do not contain carbon atoms.
Carbon Bonding
• Carbon atoms can form _____ covalent bonds with other ________
• Carbon atoms can form _____ covalent bonds with other _____________.
• This bonding allows the carbon
atoms to form a wide ___________

__________ chain, ____________
brain or in a _______
• They can have single, double, or
triple bonds
Functional Groups
• Functional groups are groups of atoms that ______________the properties
of molecules and the chemical reactions in which the molecules participate.
• 4 of them to remember
Hydroxyl
Carboxyl
Amino
Phosphate
Large Carbon Molecule

Section 2: Molecules of Life
Four types of macromolecules
1. Carbohydrates
2. Proteins
3. Lipids
4. Nucleic Acids
Carbohydrates

PROTEINS
• Proteins are organic compounds composed mainly of _________,
____________, ______________, and ____________
• Proteins have many functions including structural, defensive, and catalytic
roles.
• Proteins are made up of monomers called ____________. The
sequence of amino acids determines a protein’s shape and function.
Amino Acids can bond together
• Dipeptides and Polypeptides
– Two amino acids are joined
by peptide bonds to form a
__________

is called a ______________
– Proteins are _________ molecules
containing hundreds of amino
acids that can bend and form
different ____________
Enzymes are proteins
• Enzymes
– Enzymes speed up chemical reactions and bind to specific substrates.
– The binding of a ____________ with an enzyme causes a change in
the enzyme’s shape
– The substrate is the _____________in the reaction
– This binding reduces the ___________________ required for the
reaction to occur.
LIPIDS
