Presentation transcript:

Polymers Most macromolecules are polymers build from monomers. Starch is built from glucose monomers Proteins are built from amino acid monomers VIDEO

Joining Polymers Condensation or dehydration reaction: Hydrolysis: Creating a polymer by removing a water Hydrolysis: Water used to split polymers into smaller portions Hydro - Water Lysis – Cut or split

Carbohydrates Fuel and Building Material Simple sugars ( glucose, fructose, galactose) Polymers: starch. All exist in ratio of 1:2:1 C:H:0 Monosaccharides: Monomers of carbohydrates Glucose, ribose Polysaccharides: polymers of monosaccharides Starch, cellulose, glycogen

Glycosidic Linkage

Energy Storage & Structural Support Energy storage polysaccharides Starch: Plants Glycogen: Animals, muscle and liver cells Structural Support Cellulose: Component of plant cell walls Chitin: Exoskeleton of arthropods, lobsters, cockroaches “Crunch”

Lipids Mostly Hydrophobic Not considered polymers Why not? Fats aka triglycrides Examples are oils and fats

Lipids Functions of fatty acids Energy storage, 2x cal/g than carbohydrates Protection and Insulation (adipose tissue)

Phospholipids Phospholipids Cell membrane Phosphate head Glycerol backbone Hydrocarbon tails Form Bilayer

Phospholipid Structure

Protein Structure and Function Polymers made of amino acid monomers Amino acids: Central carbon bonded to carboxyl Amino group Hydrogen Atom R group

Nucleic Acids Store and transmit hereditary information DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) RNA (ribonucleic acid) Both have monomer nucleotides Nucleotides 3 parts

Nucleic Acid Structure

DNA & RNA DNA is the molecule of heredity RNA Double stranded helix Composed of nucleotides RNA Single Stranded Composed of Adenine Cytosine Guanine Uracil
