Look at the organic molecules below. Label each as one of the following: monosaccharide,
disaccharide, starch or nucleic acid
9.___Disaccharide____ 10._nucleotide (monomer of nucleic acid) 11.__starch
12. Examine the diagram below and label each of the following by drawing an arrow from the term to the correct part on the diagram:
monomer polymer
13. Organic molecules contain only a few different types of atoms. Write the names of those atoms on the spaces below.
___Carbon______Hydrogen______Oxygen__ Nitrogen__ Phosphorus___
14. What are three of the four main classes of organic molecules? (hint: think of the foods you eat and what molecules come from these foods) 3pts.
Lipids, Carbohydrates, Proteins, Nucleic Acids
15. Explain why carbon can form bonds with so many other atoms, including itself. Remember it has to do with the carbon atom. (4 pts).
Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer valence shell, it wants to share these electrons with other carbons and other atoms (especially other carbons, because 4+4=8, with 8 carbon has a full outer shell and is stable). In other words, one carbon can bond with 4 other carbons for a total of 8 electrons
Look at the diagrams of the organic molecules below. Label each as one of the following: monosaccharide, disaccharide, starch, amino acid, lipid or enzyme.
16.__Disaccharide__ 17.__Monosaccharide__ 18.____Starch_____
19.__Amino Acid_ 20.__Protein (enzyme)____ 21._____Lipid (saturated)____
ANALYZING CHEMICAL REACTIONS
22. Look at the figure above for the production of maltose. Explain what is being removed from
the molecules and why it must be removed.
Water must be removed to allow space for a bond to form between the two glucose molecules. This removal of water to join two monomers is called dehydration synthesis. The opposite reaction is called hydrolysis (breaking polymers apart)
