Organic matter being recycled typically exists in the form of complex molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. These molecules are broken down by decomposers into simpler forms like sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, and nucleotides during the recycling process.
The six most abundant elements found in all life forms (simple and complex) are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. The major compounds are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Nucleic Acids
The cell wall of plants, fungi, and some bacteria is primarily composed of complex carbohydrates. In plants, cellulose, a polysaccharide made of glucose units, provides structural support. Fungi have cell walls made of chitin, while bacteria often possess peptidoglycan, which is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids. These carbohydrates are crucial for maintaining the integrity and shape of the cells.
The dehydration reaction that forms bonds between molecules is typically a condensation reaction. In this process, a water molecule is removed to form a bond between two molecules. It is a common mechanism for building larger molecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Fats, oils, and fatty acids can come in both saturated and unsaturated forms. Saturated fats have no double bonds in their molecular structure, while unsaturated fats have one or more double bonds. This structural difference affects their physical properties and implications for health.
