Versatility of carbon allows for diversity in organic molecules. A. Huge number of arrangements of compounds with few carbon atoms. Unbranched chains 2. Branched chains 3. C. Isomers same molecular formula, different structural formula.
Different isomers have different properties.
Know how to draw and recognize groups in a molecule. Chapter 5 The Structure and Function of Macromolecules I. Polymers are built from monomers A. Most macromolecules are polymers. Carbohydrates A. Monosaccharides - single sugar. Draw ring structures of ribose, deoxyribose, and glucose. Straight chain structures are easy to look at, but in life, they form rings.
