    LESSON 8 ORGANIC AND INORGANIC COMPOUNDS

    PRE-TEST

    1. The two major compounds in the body are organic compounds and inorganic

    compounds. Organic compounds are a large class of chemical compounds in which one

    or more atoms of carbon are covalently bonded to atoms with different elements. They

    are used as a source of energy within the cells which are important to the body.

    Inorganic compounds are the substance that doesn’t have hydrogen and carbon, it

    includes minerals and water. Sometimes, it does contain hydrogen atoms and carbon

    atoms which is part of helping substance in the body.

    2. Major Organic Compounds

    Carbohydrates - substances containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is present in the

    same ratio as water.

    Proteins - substances were containing the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and

    nitrogen.

    Nucleic Acids - found in animal and plant cells that participate in the storage,

    transmission, and translation of genetic information.

    Lipids – composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen like carbohydrates; however, lipids

    contain a much smaller proportion of oxygen atoms than carbohydrates.

    Vitamins - substances present in small amounts in natural foodstuffs which are essential

    for growth and normal metabolism.


    Major Inorganic Compounds

    Water - vehicle in the body for all physiological activities that are necessary for life to

    take place.

    Mineral element - is a chemical element required as an essential

    nutrient by organisms to perform functions necessary for life.

    Gases – elements in the body in which useful in every processes in body and also a

    waste product.

    Salts - Sodium chloride, commonly called dietary salt, is essential to our body. The

    human body regulates how much sodium it contains. If levels are too high, we get thirsty

    and drink, and the kidneys speed up the process of getting rid of it.

    3. The organic compounds are very important in biochemical activities in the body.

    It is important in building and repairing body tissues and the production of important

    chemicals in order for our body to function correctly. The inorganic compounds are

    important in the body because it consists of minerals and water which helps in

    metabolism, blood circulation, and oxygenation. It is also important for the homeostasis

    of the body.
