Presentation transcript:

Content Objective: Students will be able to explain why biomolecules are important to all living things and describe the structure and function of biomolecules. Language Objective: Students will discuss the 4 types of biomolecules with a partner and then write new vocabulary based on visual representations of the structures, notes will be recorded in their interactive notebooks. Key Vocabulary: Biomolecules, Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids, monomer, polymer, bond, function

BIOMOLECULES Four groups of organic compounds found in living things are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins. aka: Macromolecules “macro” = large

Concept Map fill in the blanks!

CARBOHYDRATES Function: Living things use carbohydrates as their main source of energy. Plants and some animals use carbohydrates for structural purposes.

CARBOHYDRATES Monomer: carbohydrates are made of monosaccharides “mono” = one “saccharide” = sugar GLUCOSE Structure: Elements C H O

Examples of Carbohydrates Think about your food ad….

LIPIDS (fats) Functions: Lipids can be used to store energy for later use Phospholipids are important parts of biological membranes

Lipids Monomer: lipids are made of a glycerol and fatty acid chains Structure: Elements C H O Explain how the number of bonds is related to the amount of energy stored.

Examples of Lipids Think about your food ad….

PROTEINS Functions: Some proteins control the rate of reactions and regulate cell processes. Some are used to form muscles. Others transport substances into or out of cells

Proteins Monomer: proteins are made of a chain of amino acids Structure: Elements C H O N

Examples of Proteins Think about your food ad….

NUCLEIC ACIDS Function: Nucleic acids store and transmit hereditary or genetic information. Examples: two kinds of nucleic acids: RNA – ribonucleic acid DNA – deoxyribonucleic acid

Nucleic Acids Monomer: nucleic acids are made of a chain of nucleotides Structure: Elements C H O N P

Examples of Nucleic Acids already in your body!

Based on what we have just reviewed- How does the structure relate to function in biomolecules?

Can you…... 1. Identify the monomers of each biomolecule. 2. Can you explain the function of each biomolecule? 3. Explain why biomolecules are considered polymers.
