Organic Compounds & Energy 7. 6 AIdentify that organic compounds contain carbon and other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, nitrogen, or sulfur;

CARBON- the element in different forms Carbon is found in pencil lead, diamonds, graphite, coal, etc.

Chemical Formulas Example: C 6 H 8 O 6 (Vitamin C) § C, H, O = symbols for elements, C = Carbon, H = Hydrogen, O = Oxygen § Some elements have a single capital letter as their symbol § Some elements have two letter symbols- Capital letter & a lower case letter: Be, Li, or Cl (Berylium, Lithium, Chlorine) § 6, 8, 6 = Number of atoms of the element in the molecule (C = 6, H = 8, O = 6)

Organic Compounds Must contain the element carbon (Symbol = C) Example = Cholesterol C 27 H 46 O

Organic Compounds May also contain Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), Sulfur (S), Phosphorous (P), etc. Example = Acetaminophen C 8 H 9 NO 2 P

Inorganic Compounds Do not contain Carbon (C) Example = Rust Fe 2 O 3 Only has Fe (Iron) & O (Oxygen)

Organic or Inorganic? Caffeine C 8 H 10 N 4 O 2 Stomach Acid HCl Aspirin C 9 H 8 O 4 Drano Na. OH Salt Na. Cl Sugar C 12 H 22 O 11

Proteins, Fats, & Carbohydrates All of them are organic compounds These are some of the nutrients our bodies need to stay healthy Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can be transformed to give energy Body uses Protein to make new tissues like skin and muscles. Body used lipids to make cell

What happens to these compounds? They get Digested! Broken-down! Carbohydrates → Sugars - fastest Proteins → amino acids – moderate Fats → lipids or fatty acids - slowest • All of these are driven by enzymes • And all can be used to produce energy for your body

Energy Transformations What energy transformations happen in a flashlight? Chemical to __________ to _____

Energy Transformations § Chemical energy in the body is changed into: heat energy, kinetic or mechanical energy, electrical energy, & sound energy.
