Organic compounds are made up of the atoms: Phosphate is important intercellularly bc of signal transducion (molecule that binds to outside of cell transmits a signal that causes something to happen inside cell the messages oten are transferred down the line inside cell via phosphates) Carbon can make 4 bonds, single or double bonds between c"s form the backbone of compounds. If the compound is a straight chain it is called aliphaic. Ane denotes a compound that is c-h based and is a straight chain. C and h have very similar electronegaivity"s (similar sized clouds nonpolar)
