Chemical Compounds of CellsGaiser Life Science1KnowWhy is water one of the most important compounds for cells to function? EvidenceDraw and label an example of each of the five chemical compounds of living organisms. (protein, lipids, carbohydrates, water, and nucleic acid)Chemical Compounds of Cells2What makes up living cells? a substance in its simplest form, made up of only one type of atomelementsClarifying ?sInformationatom the smallest unit of an elementExample: oxygen, symbolized by a capital OBackground informationChemical Compounds of CellsElements of living thingsExample: carbon (C), oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), phosphorus (P)compound two or more elements joined together chemicallyExample: water H2OOrganic compound two or more elements joined chemically that contain carbon, all living things are made of organic compounds.

3Clarifying ?sInformationprotein (C), (O), (H), (N), & (S)carbohydrates (C), (H), & (O)lipids (C), (H), & (O)Chemical Compounds of CellsOrganic compound compounds that contain carbon, all living things are made of organic compounds.Example: meat, eggs, fish, nuts, & beansExample: fats, oils, & waxesExample: sugars & starches

4Clarifying ?sInformationinorganic compounds combinations of 2 or more elements held together chemically without carbon being presentamino acids smallest units that link protein togetherenzyme protein that speeds up chemical reactionsChemical Compounds of CellsExample: Saliva speeds up digestion.Summary:water reactions in cells cant happen without H2O.Example: helps cells maintain shape, size, and temperatureNucleic acids (C), (O), (H), (N), (P), & (S)Example: DNA, which carries genetic info from parents to offspring & RNA, which produces protein in cytoplasm and nucleuslipids (C), (H), & (O)Example: fats, oils, & waxes
