Molecular Structure

What is a polymer? Monomer?

How are they assembled?

Page 7: Molecules of Life. Carbon Compounds The Versatile Carbon Atom Carbon has 4 electrons in outer shell Can form a bond with four other molecules.

Monosaccharaides are single-unit sugars

These molecules typically have a formula that is a multiple of CH2O

Each molecule contains hydroxyl groups and a carbonyl group

Monosaccharaides are the fuels for cellular work

Carbohydrates

Isomers

Glucose and fructose are isomers They contain the

same atoms but in different arrangements

LipidsNot true polymers

Hydrocarbons that are non-polar

Triglycerides are our bodies main energy reserve
