Carbon Compound Shapes Organic Chemistry Carbon Compound Shapes Branched Straight Ask the kidsdhow many bonds that carbon can make. Maybe have a few tinkertoys pre-made in the 3 major arrangememnts Check the amount of H and C bonds Arrangements are determined by the overall arrangement of the carbons Ring
Simple carbon compounds assemble to form the four main biomolecules: The Main Biomolecules Simple carbon compounds assemble to form the four main biomolecules: Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids
Biomolecules are made of Monomers Monomers (building blocks) making bonds Polymers to monomers breaking bonds Arrow is the chemcial reaction May mention enzymes as to why they are important in a reaction Monomers Polymer
Monomer + Monomer + Polymer Condensation/Polymerization Reaction Building a Polymer Anabolic Reaction Endergonic Reaction A polymerase enzyme catalyzes this reaction
Condensation Reaction: Dehydration Synthesis OH H OH
Anabolic Reactions are Endergonic Y Ask if it is a building or breaking reaction Rate of Reaction
1. What Polymers would our cells have to build for our body? Carbs Proteins Lipids Nucleic Acids Monosaccharides Amino Acids Glycerol & Fatty Acids Nucleotides 2. What are the Monomers for each of the above Polymers?
Polymer + Water Monomer + Monomer Hydrolysis Reaction Breaking Down a Polymer Catabolic Reaction Exergonic Reaction A hydrolase enzyme catalyzes this reaction + Water
Polymer + Water Monomer + Monomer H2O H2O H2O
Polymer + Water Monomer + Monomer OH H2O H H2O H OH H2O H OH
Catabolic Reactions are Exergonic Y Ask if it is a building or breaking reaction Mark the Free Energy area, tell the kids that is the energy that is allowed to work for the body or the cell Rate of Reaction
2. What are the Monomers for each of the above Polymers? 1. What Polymers would our Digestive System have to break down for our cells? Carbs Proteins Lipids Nucleic Acids Monosaccharides Amino Acids Glycerol & Fatty Acids Nucleotides 2. What are the Monomers for each of the above Polymers?
Condensation Reaction Hydrolysis Reaction Building Reaction Monomer + Monomer Polymer + Water Condensation Reaction Hydrolysis Reaction Catabolism Building Reaction Anabolism Breaking Down Reaction Endergonic Reaction Exergonic Reaction
The Main Biomolecules are Polymers Polymers /macromolecules are strings of repeating units, identical / nearly identical compounds (monomers) linked together by covalent bonds. Condensation reaction or polymerization: dehydration synthesis (anabolic) making a polymer from monomers Hydrolysis reaction (catabolic) breaking a polymer into monomers
