Terms Related to Alicyclic Hydrocarbons

• Cyclic Hydrocarbons

  Organic compounds composed exclusively of carbon and hydrogen forming a closed ring that may be either alicyclic or aromatic.

• Acyclic Hydrocarbons

  Organic compounds composed exclusively of carbon and hydrogen where no carbon atoms join to form a ring structure.

• Aromatic Hydrocarbons

  Organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen in the form of an unsaturated, usually hexagonal ring structure. The compounds can be single ring, or double, triple, ...

• Heterocyclic Steroids

  Steroidal compounds in which one or more carbon atoms in the steroid ring system have been substituted with non-carbon atoms.

• Carbohydrate Metabolic Effects

  The largest class of organic compounds, including starches, glycogens, cellulose, gums, and simple sugars. Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio ...
