LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are a study guide based on the VCBC Organic Chemistry Basics PowerPoint Show:
- Explain the difference between an inorganic and an organic molecule.
- Understand why is carbon such a big deal to organic chemistry.
- Understand what a monomer and a polymer are.
- What are carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids made of? What is the monomer (subunit) of each organic molecule called? What is the polymer called? Use the Study Table of Organic Macromolecules presented in this lecture to make a study guide.
- Know which 3 of the four organic macromolecules can be found on a nutrition label?
- Understand the 4 levels of protein structure.
- What different roles to proteins play in the body?
- What are the different types of lipids covered in this lecture? Which can be found in our diet? Give examples.
- What is a nucleotide made of? What are some of the important nucleotides and nucleic acids that we discussed?
- What are vitamins? What are minerals?
- How many calories does each type of organic macromolecule have?
LECTURE POWERPOINT
Versions of Organic Chemistry PPT:
- Student's Organic Chemistry Basics PowerPoint Show
- Student's Organic Chemistry Basics PPT PDF Printout
Printing: The best way for students to print out the PowerPoint Show is to download the PDF version. Select Print, and, when the Print screen comes up, go to the Print Handling options. Under Page Scaling, select "Multiple pages per sheet", Under Pages per sheet, select "2". That uses up less paper, placing two slides on each page.
The Organic Chemistry Lecture materials include:
- list of learning objectives
- PowerPoint lecture
- homework assignment
- practice test & review questions
- links to related educational resources
