The Chemistry of Life What are living creatures made of? Why do we have to eat?

Elements of Life 96% of living organisms is made of: carbon (C) oxygen (O) hydrogen (H) nitrogen (N)

Molecules of Life Put C, H, O, N together in different ways to build living organisms What are bodies made of? – carbohydrates sugars & starches – proteins – fats (lipids) – nucleic acids DNA, RNA

Why do we eat? We eat to take in more of these chemicals – Food for building materials to make more of us (cells) for growth for repair – Food to make energy calories to make ATP ATP

Don’t forget water Water – 70% of your body is H 2 O – water is inorganic doesn’t contain carbon Rest of you is made of carbon molecules – organic molecules carbohydrates proteins fats nucleic acids

How do we make these molecules? We build them!

Building large molecules of life Chain together smaller molecules – building block molecules = monomers Big molecules built from little molecules – polymers

Building large organic molecules Small molecules = building blocks Bond them together = polymers

What do we call these large molecules? Macromolecules – Large molecules sometimes composed of a large number of repeating subunits

Building important polymers sugar – sugar – sugar – sugar – sugar – sugar nucleotide – nucleotide – nucleotide – nucleotide Carbohydrates = built from sugars Proteins = built from amino acids Nucleic acids (DNA) = built from nucleotides amino acid amino acid – amino acid – amino acid – amino acid – amino acid –

A Few Definitions Anabolic reactions: – Reactions that produce large molecules from smaller subunits Condensation reactions: – Reaction that creates a covalent bond between two interacting subunits linking them to each other

A Few Definitions Catabolic reactions: – Reactions that break macromolecules into constituent individual subunits Hydrolysis reactions: – A catabolic reaction in which a water molecules is used to break a covalent bond holding subunits together

How to build large molecules Synthesis (condensation rxn) – H from one –OH group and an entire –OH from another molecule create water (condensation) – Water is made – ATP is stored

How to build large molecules Synthesis (condensation rxn) – building bigger molecules from smaller molecules (anabolic reaction) – building cells & bodies (repair, growth, reproduction) + ATP

How to take large molecules apart Digestion (hydrolysis reaction) – Reverse rxn of synthesis – a water molecule is used – energy is released – taking big molecules apart (catabolic reaction)

How to take large molecules apart Digestion (hydrolysis reaction) – getting raw materials for synthesis & growth – making energy (ATP) for synthesis, growth & everyday functions + ATP

Example of digestion Starch is digested to glucose starchglucose ATP

Example of synthesis amino acids = building block protein = polymer amino acidsprotein  Proteins are synthesized by bonding amino acids
