CARBON AND MOLECULAR DIVERSITY The structure and function of macromolecules: Carbohydrates and Lipids Chapter 5

Objectives Be familiar with how polymers are assembled and dismantled Understand that most organic macromolecules are polymers of smaller units Describe the properties of a carbohydrate Be able to distinguish between a monosaccharide, disaccharide and a polysaccharide. Be able to give examples of each kind of carbohydrate Know that the energy of a carbohydrate comes from its ability to donate electrons Describe the properties of a lipid Understand the 3 categories of lipids and the significance of each kind of lipid

POLYMER PRINCIPLES. Most macromolecules are polymers built from smaller units called monomers. Polymerization reactions are carried out through the elimination of water (condensation or dehydration synthesis) or the addition of water (hydrolysis). An immense variety of polymers can be built from a small set of monomers.

Carbohydrates are molecules built from monomer units with a chemical formulation of CH 2 O Depending on their size and configuration, carbohydrates serve as energy molecules or structural “building blocks” Three “size categories” of carbohydrates are recognized: Monosaccharide, Disaccharide, and Polysaccharide CARBOHYDRATES: FUEL AND BUILDING MATERIAL

Monosaccharides: Fuel and Building Material Monosaccharides, the smallest carbohydrates, serve as fuel and carbon sources

Examples of linear (chain) form structures for several monosaccharides What are these? Answer: Isomers of each other

Disaccharides When two monosaccharides are hooked together via dehydration synthesis, a disaccharide is formed. The monosaccharide must first be in ring form:

Glycosidic Linkage Formation The junction between two monosaccharides is called a glycosidic linkage The structure of the disaccharide (types of monosaccharides used and glycosidic linkage position) is important in determining how the disaccharide functions

Polysaccharide Polysaccharides result from many monosaccharides being linked together –Energy Storage Glycogen, Starch –Structural Support Chitin, Cellulose Again, type of monosaccharide and glycosidic linkage structure are important

Importance of Carbohydrates Energy (electron donors) Building materials Used for cell-cell recognition (important to the immune system)

LIPIDS: DIVERSE HYDROPHOBIC MOLECULES Lipids store large amounts of energy 9 kcal/gram due to energy rich fatty acid chain Characteristics of fat Hydrophobic because of nonpolar FA chain Saturated versus unsaturated fats. Saturated FA chains form no more bonds, unsaturated FA chains can form more bonds

General Role of Lipids Functions of fat –energy storage, cushioning, insulation Lipids store large amounts of energy 9 kcal/gram due to energy rich fatty acid chain Their fluid (pliable) nature makes then a good cushion as “shockwaves” are dispersed Molecules can be close together making some fats good insulators

What are Lipids? Characteristics Tend to be Hydrophobic (water fearing) because of nonpolar components (lots of hydrocarbons (C-H)) Made from isoprene units combined to make chains Chains are made polar through the addition of a carboxyl group forming a Fatty acid Saturated versus unsaturated fats. Saturated FA chains form no more bonds, unsaturated FA chains can form more bonds

Kinds of Lipids Triglyceride (triacyclglycerol) Comprise many of the dietary oils and fats Functional differences arise from differences in hydrophobic chain type and position

Kinds of Lipids Phospholipid Comprises much of the Plasma Membrane (border around cell) Polar phosphate group coupled with nonpolar hydrocarbon chains make this molecule amphipathic

Steroids Isoprene chains form a 17 carbon ring system as core structure Steroid types vary depending on position and type of groups attached to ring system Comprise some hormones such as Testosterone, Estradiol, Cortisol, and Aldosterone Kinds of Lipids
