Role of Carbon in Organisms
Carbon has four electrons in outer energy level Four covalent bonds fill energy level

Role of Carbon in Organisms
Carbon can bond with other carbon atoms Double bond = each atom shares two electrons Triple bond = each atom shares three electrons

Role of Carbon in Organisms
When carbon atoms bond together they can form chains, branched chains or rings
This makes a huge number of carbon structures possible

Role of Carbon in Organisms
Compounds with the same simple structure can have different forms called isomers
![Page 6: 6.3 Life Substances Molecules of Life. Role of Carbon in Organisms Carbon has four electrons in outer energy level Four covalent bonds fill energy level](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfe21a28abf838cb42f1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Role of Carbon in Organisms
Carbon compounds can have thousands of carbons
Polymer = a large molecule formed when many smaller molecules bond together
Condensation = large molecule is formed by removing H-O-H
Hydrolysis = large molecule is broken apart by adding H-O-H

Carbohydrates
Used by cells to store and release energy Organic compound
with carbon, hydrogen2, and oxygen Simple carbohydrate = monosaccharide Two sugar carbohydrate = disaccharide Many sugars = polysaccharide

Molecules of Life
Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids

Lipids
Used by cells to store energy, insulate and in protective coatings
Organic compound with many more carbon and hydrogen than carbohydrates
For example, beef fat C57H110O6
Not soluble in water because lipids are non-polar

Lipids
2 main types Each made of 3 fatty acids and a glycerol Saturated—bad for you (butter) Unsaturated—good for you (peanut butter)

Proteins
Provide structure and carry out cell metabolism Large polymer built of amino acids
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur There are 20 common
amino acids that can build thousands of proteins

Proteins
Amino acids link together in peptide bonds
Number and order of amino acids determines the kind of protein
