1
The Structure of Molecules Determines the Function Ex. Gloves have specific shape that gives them the ability to do certain things
2
4.C.1 – Variation In Structure Provides A Wide Range of Functions Carbon has ___ unpaired electrons so it forms ___ covalent bonds Hugh variety of shapes
5
C compounds may form ____ Lines represent _________ Connected lines represent ______ C atoms are numbered
6
Isomers
7
Functional group – group of atoms attached to an organic molecule that helps determine the function of the molecule Why are functional groups important?
8
Common Functional groups OH CH 3 SH COOH NH 2
9
4.A.1 - Subcomponents and Their Sequence Determines Properties
10
Macromolecules Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic acids
11
Carbohydrate Monomers
12
Carbohydrates What are disaccharides?
14
Carbohydrates: Function Energy; stored energy - ________, ________ Structure – __________, _____________ Cell-to-cell communication, identification (glycoproteins, glycolipids) –Antigens/antibodies
15
Lipids are insoluble ion water
16
Triglycerides: Fats
17
Triglycerides - Fats
18
Saturated No double bonds Solids Animal fats - grease, lard, butter Unsaturated Double bond(s) Liquids Plant fats (oil) Corn, peanut, olive oils Triglycerides
19
Phospholipids Amphipathic? ?
20
Phospholipids
22
Micelle – phospholipids spontaneously form a sphere in water
23
Steroids - insoluble in water
24
Steroids Arrangement of functional groups is critical
25
Importance of Lipids Energy (Ex.?) Padding (Ex.?) Insulation (Ex.?) Structure (Ex.?) Hormones (Ex.?)
26
Type of Protein FunctionExample StructureSupportCollagen, keratin, elastin StorageStore amino acidsCasein – milk Transport ? HormonesSignaling? ReceptorRespond to signalsNerve, muscle, senses ContractileMovementActin, myosin DefensiveProtectionAntibodies EnzymesAccelerate reactionsCatalase
27
Proteins - Amino Acids
29
Proteins – long chains of peptide bonds formed by dehydration synthesis
30
Proteins
31
Four levels of protein structure: –Primary –Secondary –Tertiary –Quaternary
32
Proteins: Primary Structure
33
Secondary Structure
34
Tertiary Structure
35
Quaternary Structure
37
Denaturation
40
Nucleic Acids
43
Central Dogma of Molecular Biology***
44
# 1 – Formation of Monomers From Low Energy Molecules (Miller-Urey)
45
#2 – Formation of Polymers from Monomers RNA nucleotides and amino acids will spontaneously polymerize when solutions of amino acids are dripped onto hot sands or clays
46
#3 – Origin of Self- Replicating Molecules Claim: RNA may have acted as an early catalyst for polymerization and/or molecule to store code. Evidence: RNA (simpler than DNA) will: –Act as a catalyst for certain chemical reactions –Assemble itself (polymerization) –Replicate itself – make more code to be passed to the next generation
47
# 4 – Formation of A Protocell Protobiont – 1 st life
