organic

molecules containing a carbon skelotin

inorganic

molecules that don't contain carbon

organic compounds; molecules

carbon atoms bond to themselves and other elements

organic compounds; carbon

carbon can make 4 separate bonds (this leads to carbon having the ability to form a wide variety of structures

organic molecules

contain functional gropups

functional groups

a specific group of atoms that determine the function of a molecule

macromolecule

are made up of many smaller repeating units

monomers

the repeating subunits found in macromolecules

polymer

macro molecules

are large organic molecules found inliving things

4 categories of macromolecules

carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids

how do monomers bond to eachother

dehydration synthesis, hydrolysis

dehydration synthesis

the process of building a polymer from monomers by removing water
