Study Notes
Chemical Classifications
-
1 CH₂OH: Carbohydrate. The structure shows multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups and a carbon backbone, characteristics of sugars and carbohydrates.
-
Uracil: Nucleic acid. This is a nitrogenous base found in RNA.
-
1:21 C: Carbohydrate. Similar structural features to the first example, suggesting a sugar.
-
4 Rings: Carbohydrate. Multiple carbon rings are typical of complex carbs (polysaccharides).
-
L (Serine): Protein. Contains a nitrogen atom (amino group) and a carboxyl group, making it an amino acid, and therefore likely part of a protein.
-
P: Protein. Shows an amino acid structure with a nitrogen-containing amino group, as well as a carboxyl group, indicating it is a protein.
-
C: Possibly a carbohydrate. The repeated structural units with multiple oxygen and hydroxyl groups suggest a polysaccharide. More details needed for definitive classification. The 300-600 OH suggests chains of repeating units.
-
NA: Nucleic acid. The structure contains multiple rings with nitrogen atoms. This structure suggests the presence of nucleic acids' nitrogenous bases.
