Study Notes

The text is about organic compounds in Grade 9 science.
Organic compounds are identified and differentiated from inorganic compounds.
Organic compounds are made of carbon and other elements, such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, or phosphorus.
Organic compounds are classified as organic because they are associated with living organisms and are studied in organic chemistry and biochemistry.
Organic compounds are classified into two main groups: organic and inorganic.
Organic compounds contain carbon usually bonded to hydrogen.
Carbohydrates are a type of organic compound made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and are the main energy source for organisms, used to make cell structures, and stored as energy in plants.
- Carbohydrates can be simple (monosaccharides), double (disaccharides), or complex (polysaccharides).
- Examples of carbohydrates include glucose, fructose, maltose, sucrose, starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
Lipids are another type of organic compound made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and are used for storing energy, acting as structural components of cell membranes, and serving as signal molecules.
- Lipids can be triglycerides, steroids, or phospholipids.
- Fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated.
Proteins are a type of organic compound made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, and consist of chains of amino acids.
- Proteins serve many functions in cells, including being cellular structures, control substances, and for immunity.
- Examples of proteins include hemoglobin, collagen, insulin, keratin, myoglobin, and fibrin.
Nucleic acids are a type of organic compound made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
- Nucleic acids are the molecules in cells that direct and store information for reproduction and cellular growth.
- There are two types of nucleic acids: RNA and DNA.
- RNA has one strand, while DNA has a double-stranded helix structure.
Organic compounds are important because all living organisms contain carbon, and they are the basic components of many of the cycles that drive the earth.
