What is an Organic Compound
●
●
Molecules that have carbon
They have strong bonds
What is an Inorganic Compound
●
●
Compounds that lack carbon atoms
Have a weaker bond
Examples of Organic Compounds
●
●
●
●
●
Lipids
Saccharides
Carbohydrates
Proteins
Nucleic Acids
Examples of Inorganic Compounds
●
●
●
Water
Sodium Chloride (Table Salt)
Carbon Dioxide is the
exception, it has carbon but it
is still inorganic
Proteins
By Fisher Gace and Ramsay
Proteins
Birds feathers, spiders webs, and finger nails all have proteins. Proteins are
large organic molecules made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and in
some cases sulfur. Because proteins help us live.
Lipids
Sophie and Katherine
Definition + Examples Lipids
Definition: Any class of organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives
(something that is based on another source) and are insoluble in water but soluble
in organic solvents. They include many natural oils, waxes, and steroids.
Examples: cholesterol, saturated fats (meat, cheese, eggs), trans fat (potato chips,
crackers, cookies)

Lipids
Use of Lipids
Cells use lipids to store the energy in for use later on, also they can be a
source of energy in addition to being a store.
Amino Acids
By Owen, Alex, and Anne-Kinsey
Definition
Protein molecules are made up of smaller molecules called
Amino Acids. Although there are only 20 common amino
acids, cells can combine them in different ways to form
thousands of different proteins. The kinds of amino acids and
the order in which they link together determine the type of
protein that forms.
Examples
Methionine Met, M
Serine Ser, S
Proline Pro, P
Why are Amino Acids important?
Amino acids are important because they are basically the
entire building block of the protein inside the human body.

Carbohydrates
By Trevor, Avery, and Gordon
Examples of Carbohydrates
Sugars: glucose, fructose, galactose, mannose, sucrose, lactose, maltose, isomaltose,
isomaltulose and trehalose.
Starch food such as potatoes, noodles, rice, and bread
Definition
●
An energy rich organic compound made of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen.
Importance
●
●
●
Important components of some cell parts
The cellulose found in the cell walls of plants is a type of carbohydrate
Also found in cell membranes
Nucleic Acids
Skyler and Amani
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids contain the instructions that cells need to carry out all the
functions of life.
What Are They Made Of?
Nucleic acids are very large
organic molecules made of…
●
Carbon
●
Oxygen
●
Nitrogen
●
Phosphorus
What Kinds of Acids Are There?
There are two kinds of nucleic acids.
●
Deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA
○
●
DNA is the genetic material that carries information about an organism that is
passed from parent from offspring. The information in DNA in a cell is found in
the chromatin in the nucleus.
Ribonucleic acid, RNA
○
RNA plays an important role in the production of proteins. RNA is found in the
cytoplasm and in the nucleus.
DNA vs. RNA
Examples
● Cytosine
● Guanine
● Thymine
● Uracil
● Adenine
Water
Abigail,Noah
Definition
Water is a polar inorganic compound that is at room temperature a
tasteless and odorless liquid, nearly colorless with a hint of blue.
It is made up of two hydrogen molecule and one oxygen molecule
It is known as the Universal Solvent for its ability to dissolve many
substances. Water makes up about 2 3rds of your body.
Examples
Water is what you drink
Why is it important for cells
Most chemical reactions within cells cannot occur
without some substances being dissolved in water.
Sometimes water is part of these chemical reactions.
Water also helps cells keep their size and shape.

Enzymes
Emma & Audrey & Georgia
Explanation of Enzymes
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions in your body, most of the time to help break
down food particles.
Without them, chemical reactions that are needed will take to long or will not occur.
Examples
Amylase: These are enzymes that helps change starches into sugars. It is
found in saliva in humans and in some other mammals.
Maltase: Also present in saliva, as well as the pancreas, breaks down sugars
to form glucose.
Most of the time, you will find enzymes in your stomach, mouth and digestive
system.
