Topic 4: Inner Workings Of The Cell: Organic Compounds

Organic compounds
-carbon based molecules, too called biomolecules

The business office of carbon
Carbon has iv electrons inwards its outer valence shell, hence it tin cast real stable compounds past times covalent bonding (a real rigid type of bond).
The compounds formed tin gain from elementary molecules to real large macromolecules.  They tin hold out conduct chains, branched chains or fifty-fifty rings, amongst single, double or triple bonds, hence real various C skeletons.

 Isomers growth diversity.  Isomers are compounds amongst the same atoms (chemical formula), exactly dissimilar 3D structures eg. glucose in addition to fructose.

How large compounds are formed 
Monomers are smaller organic compounds which cast the dry soil for the larger compounds.  They are oft outpouring together inwards repetitive chains, hence they are called the subunits of the larger compounds.
The larger compounds are called polymers.

Starch in addition to glycogen are polymers made of many glucose monomers.

Polymers are formed past times condensation reactions.

Hydrolysis breaks downwards polymers into monomers.
