The study of organic compounds BIOCHEMISTRY The study of organic compounds
CARBOHYDRATES Sugars (fruits, pasta, bread) Contain C, H, O in a 1:2:1 ratio Used for energy Monomer: Monosaccharide
LIPIDS Fats, waxes and oils Contain C, H, and O, but not in a 1:2:1 ratio. Used to store energy. Oils, Mayonnaise, Shortening Insulation Repel water Phospholipids (membranes) Monomer: Glcerol and Fatty Acid
PROTEIN Meats, Fish, Peanut Butter Monomer: amino acids (20). Contain C, H, O and N. Build & repair tissue Movement Structure Transport Defense Regulation
ENZYMES: Special Proteins Proteins that regulate chemical reactions (ex. digestion) Catalyst Substrate Active site
Reaction pathway without enzyme Activation energy Activation energy with enzyme Reactants Products
Substrates Enzyme Products Active site
