Biomolecules/Organic Molecules

 pH measures how acidic or basic a solution is  The pH scale ranges from 0 – 14 ◦ Less than 7.0 = ACIDIC ◦ More than 7.0 = BASIC ◦ 7.0 = Neutral (pure water)

 All life molecules depend on Carbon  Carbon has 4 electrons available for bonding ◦ Can form single, double, or triple bonds  Carbon can bond with itself, or a variety of other elements ◦ Forms chains, rings, or sheets

 There are 4 ORGANIC MOLECULES that are essential for all life ◦ Carbohydrates ◦ Lipids ◦ Nucleic Acids ◦ Proteins  Monomer: simple building blocks  Polymer: groups of monomers

 CARBOHYDRATES are sugars!  They are composed of the atoms: ◦ Carbon (C), Oxygen (O), and Hydrogen (H)  CARB + O + HYDRATE  The building blocks of carbohydrates are MONOSACCHARIDES (monomer) ◦ Monosaccharide: simplest sugar  Glucose, Fructose, Galactose, Ribose

Glucose Fructose

 Two monosaccharides combine to form DISACCHARIDES  Glucose + Fructose = SUCROSE (table sugar)  Glucose + Galactose= LACTOSE (milk sugar)

Milk Lactose

 Many monosaccharides combine to form POLYSACCHARIDES (polymer) ◦ Polysaccharide: repeating monosaccharides  Starch – energy storage (plants)  Potatoes, corn, crackers  Glycogen – energy storage (animals)  Cellulose – structural molecule (plant cell walls)  Corn kernels, celery, lettuce  Chitin – structural molecule (fungus cell wall & insect exoskeletons)

Glycogen Molecule w/ glycogenin protein center

 Carbohydrates provide us with QUICK ENERGY ◦ 4 kilocalories per gram  Foods: grains, fruits, vegetables, sweets  Starch Test: Iodine will turn blue-black color to test for starch

 LIPIDS are fats, oils, and waxes!  Lipid structure: ◦ Glycerol (monomer) + 3 fatty acids (monomer) = triglyceride (polymer)  Lipids are INSOLUBLE in water ◦ Don’t mix (dissolve) in water

Fatty acid Fatty Acid

 Lipid Functions: ◦ Long-term energy storage and insulation  9 kilocalories per gram ◦ Major component of the plasma membrane  Phospholipid bilayer  2 Types of Fats: ◦ Saturated Fats: BAD (dairy, meat, lard, butter) ◦ Unsaturated Fats: GOOD (nuts, avocadoes, oils)  Brown paper bag test: ◦ Greasy spot = lipids  Wendy’s bag with fries

 NUCLEIC ACIDS are the molecules that make DNA and RNA!  Nucleic acids are made of NUCLEOTIDES (monomer)  Nucleotide Structure: ◦ Simple Sugar ◦ Phosphate Group ◦ Nitrogen Base (A, C, T, G, U)

 The function of nucleic acids is to store genetic information in the form of a code ◦ Found in the nucleus of the cell  Nucleic acids are found in all foods because all organisms contain DNA

 Proteins provide structural support and carry out chemical reactions in the body!  Proteins are made of long chains of amino acids (monomers) ◦ Amino acids are bonded together with PEPTIDE BONDS  Polypeptide (polymer) = protein  Energy storage - 4 kilocalories per gram

Polypeptide

 ENZYMES are a type of protein that speed up chemical reactions in the body  Enzymes can either break molecules apart or join molecules together ◦ E.g. Break food down; assemble chains of DNA  Enzymes work by lowering the amount of energy needed to start the reaction (activation energy)

 The molecule that an enzyme interacts with is called a SUBSTRATE ◦ Enzyme-substrate reaction  Enzymes are very SPECIFIC in how they work ◦ Each enzyme interacts with ONE specific substrate  Like a lock and key or a puzzle piece  Enzymes are conserved (not used up) in the reaction ◦ They can be reused continuously  Enzyme – doesn’t change  Substrate – is changed by the enzyme

 Many enzymes work best at a certain temperature or a specific pH  If enzymes are heated too much they will denature (fall apart) and stop working altogether
