Bonding characteristics of --- result in the formation of a larger variety of compounds.
The fourcovalentbondingposition of atom
can give rise to a widediversity of compounds withmany functions, accountingfor the importance of carbon in living things.
The human body is composed of roughly 30 trillion cells that collectively perform the essential functions of life. The cells can perform these life-sustaining tasks with the help of several organic molecules present in them.
Biomolecule
is a molecule that is present in all living organisms. Involved in the maintenance and metabolic process.
Carboncompound have major involvement in the formation of biomolecules. They covalently bind with other elements to form several other compounds.
Approximately 10.000 to 100,000 molecules are present in a cell toregulate bodily function.
But the four major types of biomolecules include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleicacids.
CHO2
CHNOPS
CH20
DNA AND RNA
What is the molecular formula of carbohydrates, protein, lipids, nucleic acid,
Carbohydrates
most abundant and widespread organic substances in nature
Carbohydrates
essential constituents of all livingthings
Carbohydrates
formed by green plants from carbon dioxide and water during the process of photosynthesis
Monosaccharide
Disaccharide
Polysaccharide
Give the three classification of carbohydrates
From the prefix "mono" which means "one" the monosaccharide is the simplest sugar and the basic subunit of a carbohydrate.
Monosaccharide
These compounds are white solids a troom temperature. Because they have polar. hydroxyl (OH) groups in their molecular ures are very soluble in water.
Examples of monosaccharides include glucose also called dextrose, fructose and galactose. The most common monosaccharides are glucose and fructose.
Monosaccharide
Glucose
Fructose
Galactose
Disaccharide
Disaccharide
Disaccharide
These are composed of two units of sugars Joined by O-glycosidic bonds.
Condensation reaction is a reaction In which two molecules or parts of the same molecule
Most organisms have the capability to combine simple sugar to form a molecule of a double sugar or disaccharide
Condensation reaction is a reaction in which two molecules or parts of the same molecule combine and involves the removal of a small molecule such as water. This reaction is also called as dehydration synthesis.
Maltose
Sucrose
Lactose
What are the three types of disaccharide?
Maltose
Glucose + glucose
Sucrose
Glucose + fructose
Lactose
Glucose + galactose
Polysaccharide
Polysaccharide
Polysaccharide
These consist of more than two sugar monomer units. They are also known as glycans
Polysaccharide
Three important polysaccharides. starch, glycogen, and cellulose, are composed of glucose. Starch and glycogen serve as short-termenergy stores in plants andanimals, respectively.
Starch has many industrial applications in addition to its importance in human nutrition.It is used in the manufacture of paper, textiles, pharmaceuticals. and biodegradable polymers, and as an additive in foods.
proteins are made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen. oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur
Protein
unbranched polymers of amino acid residues
Protein
there are about 22 amino acidsthat are involved in the synthesis of proteins according to their
location and function
