Why study Carbon?All of life is built on carbon
Cells~72% H
2O
~25% carbon compoundscarbohydrateslipidsproteinsnucleic acids
~3% saltsNa, Cl, K

Form affects functionStructural differences create importantfunctional significance
amino acid alanine
L-alanine used in proteinsbut not D-alanine
Medicines L-DopaL-version activebut not D-version
sometimes withtragic results

Trans fats are a type of isomer Fatty acid tails are hydrocarbons.Unsaturated fats have double bondsbetween carbons.
Form follows function!
Trans fats are straight and solidify atroom temperature.
Cis (olive oil)
Trans (partially hydrogenatedvegetable oil)

How to build a polymer Synthesis
joins monomers by taking H 2O outone monomer donates OH
other monomer donates H +together these form H 2O
