Organic Molecule Classification and Function
Update: 2025-05-22
Description
This audio lecture provides an overview of organic chemistry, specifically focusing on the fundamental building blocks of life. It introduces carbon compounds and the concept of functional groups which are key components of larger organic molecules. The speaker explains that these large molecules are formed through polymerization where smaller units called monomers join together. The lecture then details two major classes of these essential organic molecules: carbohydrates, including monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides, and lipids, covering triglycerides, fatty acids (both cis and trans), phospholipids, eicosanoids, and steroids like cholesterol.
