What are biomolecules?
Biomolecules are organic molecules. Meaning that they contain either carbon to carbon or carbon to hydrogen bonds.
Why is carbon important?
Carbon is very important because it is a very versatile atom. This means it can bond with many other atoms.
6 different atoms carbon can bond to:
hydrogen
oxygen
nitrogen
phosphorus
sulfur
carbon
Carbon structures:
This carbon structure is ringed.
Most common functional groups:
Hydroxyl group
Carboxyl group
Amino group
Sulfhydryl group
Phosphate group
Fatty acids and Amino acids:
The functional groups in amino acids (molecule on the right) are the amino and carboxyl groups.
The functional group in fatty acids (molecule on the left) is the carboxyl group.
