Acidic simple organic compounds

Amino acid Simple organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and in certain cases sulfur. Twenty amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Analysis The search for information and pattern in archaeological materials.

Introduction to organic chemistry hydrocarbons and functional groups (structure, nomenclature, chemical properties). Physical and chemical properties of simple organic compounds should also be included as exemplary material for the study of other areas such as bonding, equilibria involving weak acids, kinetics, colligative properties, and stoichiometric determinations of empirical and molecular formulas. 

TRIVIAL NAME. The name applied by early chemists to a number of simple organic compounds, usually based on their sources or properties, e.g.. acetone and acetic acid, from Latin acetum (vinegar), urea from urine, glucose and glycerol from Greek g/vc+sweet). Such names remained in common use regardless of the systematic nomenclature later developed. 

An aqueous solution containing ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, and simple organic compounds such as formaldehyde and cyanoethine, in contact with rocks, constituted substrates and the environment for the prebiotic synthesis of more complex organic molecules purine and pyrimidine bases, amino acids, and sugars -the building blocks of all the organisms. 

No I all cofaclyrs are derived from vitamins, Coenzyme Q, lipoic acid, dolichol phosphate, biopterin, heme, and molybdopterin are cofactors that are synthesized in the body from simple organic compounds. Heme and molybdopterin are relatively complex, from a nutritional point of view, because they require metal ions as part of their structure. 

Other classes of organic materials, such as alkaloids, pigments, resins, sterols, terpenes, terpenoids, and waxes, and many simple organic compounds are often present in various biomass species, but are not discussed here because they are usually present in very small amounts. The peptides present in herbaceous biomass are also not discussed here because, although the nitrogen and sulfur contents of the biomass should be assessed for certain microbiological processes, the amino acids that make up the proteins are generally not important factors in conversion processes.
