Document Summary

Organic chemistry: organic molecules contain carbon and hydrogen, carbon: reactive with itself, o, n, p, carbon carbon double bond length is very short this and colligative properties help organisms to survive in extreme conditions. Functional groups: collection of atoms of different elements that have not fulfilled the octet rule: connected to a particular backbone. Isomers: compounds with identical chemical formulas: same number and composition of elements, differ in certain properties, small changes in the bonding relationship or spatial organization. Atp: adenosine triphosphate: core part: sugar, numbering of carbons is important in nucleotide sugar, dna, phosphates held by electrostatic repulsion, method of storing energy, 7. 3 kcal, energy currency, energy intermediates: nadh, fadh2, nadph. Monosaccharides: simplest sugars 3 carbon sugar glyceraldehyde, simplest form started out as four carbon sugar, most common are 5 or 6 carbons, pentoses ribose (c5h10o5), deoxyribose (c5h10o4, hexose glucose (c6h12o6)
