4. Simple sugars:
Certain types of compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
Example is glucose(C6H12O6), which most plants and animals breakdown in
their cells to obtain energy.
Larger and more complex organic compounds called Polymers consists of a
number of basics structural units called monomers linked together by
chemical bonds.
Some important types of organic polymers are:
Carbohydrates:
It is made up of by linking together a number of simple- sugar molecules such as
glucose.
Examples are the complex in rice and potato plants.
5. Proteins:
Produced in plant and animal cells by linking together different numbers and sequences
of above 20 different building block units of or monomers.
It is known as amino acids.
Most animals including humans can make about 10 of these amino acids in their cell.
Sufficient quantities of the other ten known as essential amino acids, must be obtained
from food intake to prevent protein deficiency diseases.
6. Nucleic acids:
Made by linking together hundreds to thousands of four different types of
building- block monomers called nucleotides in different numbers and sequences.
Genetic information coded in the structure of DNA molecules is what makes you
different from a dog and from your mother and father.
This information is contained in sequences of nucleotides in parts of various
cellular DNA molecules known as genes.
Various genes and associated proteins in plants and animals cells are grouped
together in chromosomes which carry certain types of genetic information.
B. Inorganic compounds
Inorganic compounds are combinations of two or more elements
other than those used to form organic compounds.
Some inorganic compounds are sodium chloride, water, nitric
oxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur
dioxide, ammonia, sulphuric acid and nitric acid.
