THE CHEMISTRY OF ORGANIC MOLECULES I. MACROMOLECULES-large molecules that are composed of smaller molecules and atoms that are bonded together. These are among the largest of all chemical molecules. A. Polymers-the largest of the macromolecules. These are composed of numerous‚ small identical subunits known as Monomers. There are 4 major polymers that are important for living organisms. These polymers are; carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins and nucleic acids. B. Polymers

The video‚ Lewis and Clark: Part 1 directed by Kevin Burns‚ tells the story of the first exploration into unknown territory. Thomas Jefferson‚ the President of the United States at the time‚ was always curious about the West. Jefferson’s books spoke of a northwest passage that linked the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It was believed that whoever could maintain that trade route would control the rest of the country and its future Jefferson expressed the desire to discover and understand the Missouri

As the Time Draws Near Assignment A This analytical essay will provide an analysis and interpretation of american writer Eowyn Ivey’s short story “As the Time Draws Near” (2012). The readers are introduced to the main character‚ Piper‚ who grew up in Alaska but later moved away. The short story follows her at a time when she has returned to Alaska in order to spread her dead father’s ashes under a particular spruce tree. She has a lot of thoughts about death and she is almost obsessed with it. Death

Atoms‚ Molecules and Elements Atoms‚ molecules and elements are the building blocks of everything we can see‚ hear‚ and touch. Though not visible to the naked eye‚ it is the combination of millions of these tiny substances that make us who and what we are today. Many elements make up the world around us‚ and each element reacts differently to its surroundings. The definition of reactivity as pertained to chemistry states‚ “The relative capacity of an atom‚ molecule‚ or radical to undergo a chemical

Designing molecules In order to understand the complexity and shape of an organic molecule you and your partner will be constructing a 3-D version of a selected organic compound. The project will have four parts: A blueprint of the molecule you will construct The molecule A legend explaining the structure of the molecule A paragraph explaining the importance of the molecule This project will count as one lab grade. A sample grade sheet is on the back. Some possible molecules: Caffeine

Introduction Atoms‚ molecules‚ compounds and mixtures‚ although they may not seem it‚ are different. Atoms make up all of the above and elements. They are made an equal amount of protons and electrons. Molecules are made when two or more atoms connect chemically. Like molecules‚ compounds are made when two or more atoms connect chemically. Unlike molecules‚ the atoms need to be two or more different elements. Mixtures are made of two or more compounds or elements. Mixtures can look completely the

Biomolecules - Organic compounds is first due to the fact that every word on the list is an organic compound‚ as they are essential to life processes. Next‚ carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids are all macromolecules‚ as they are very large molecules composed of thousands of atoms or more. The map then divides into the four biomolecules. Carbohydrates are composed of monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. Proteins are made of amino acids‚ which are themselves made of polypeptides
