For the learner:
Hand is one of the most symbolized parts of the human body. It is often used
to depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create, and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner
is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and
skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning resource while being an active
learner.

Lesson
Properties of Organic and
1 Inorganic Compounds
Chemists classify compounds in different ways. During the latter part of the
eighteenth century, and the early part of the nineteenth century, chemists began to
categorize compounds into two types: organic and inorganic. Organic compounds are
obtained from living matters, while inorganic compounds are obtained from mineral
constituents of the earth.

What’s More
Rearrange the jumbled letters to form a word that is defined by the given statement
in each item.
Organic and inorganic compounds plays an important role for the body’s
structure and function. Inorganic compounds essential to life are water, salts, acids,
and bases. Our body is composed of as much as 70% of water, which is contained
both within the cells and between the cells that make up tissues and organs. Salts
act as important electrolytes in the body. It helps in fluid balance, nerve
transmission, and muscle function. Acids and bases, like salt, dissociates in water
into electrolytes which maintains the balance in our body.
There are four types of organic compounds which make up the molecules of
life. Carbohydrates in the forms of sugar, provide short term energy. Carbohydrates
have a general chemical formula Cx(H2O)y where x and y are whole numbers that
differ depending on the specific carbohydrate. It is the most abundant of all the four
types of organic compounds. Plants manufacture these carbohydrates through the
process called photosynthesis. Animals obtain carbohydrates by eating foods.
Animals break down carbohydrates during the process of metabolism to release
energy.
12
Lipids, in the form of fats and oils on the otherhand, provide long term energy.
Lipids are heterogenous group of compounds associated to fatty acids. They are water
in soluble organic molecules that can be extracted from cells and tissues by non-
polar solvents. Lipids are naturally existing compounds and have a wide frange of
uses such as source of fuel, protective coat and component of membranes of every
living cell.
Proteins build and repair cells. It is the most abundant of all organic
substances in the cell. They are generally large, complex molecules that are required
in different aspects of cell structure and function. Amino acids make up proteins. It
is classified into non-essential or dispensable amino acids and essential or
indispensable amino acids. Non-essential amino acids are those amino acids which
the body can synthesize. Essential amino acids are those which the body cannot
synthesize and thus must be supplied to the body from the diet.
Nucleic acids, DNA, and RNA store hereditary information. Nucleic acids are
are very large, complex molecules, first isolated by Friedrich Meischer from the nuclei
of human pus cells which he named nuclein. This was changed to nucleic acid
because of their acidity and their location in the cells’s nucleus. There are two types
of nucleic acids: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA makes
up the chromosomes within the cell’s nucleus and is the main repository for the
genetic information of the cell. RNA is present both in the nucleus and cytoplasm
and functions for protein sysnthesis.
