The Structure and Function of Macromolecules Chpt. 5 The Structure and Function of Macromolecules
4
Macromolecules Macromolecules (large molecules): Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids Polymers ( many parts) constructed of Monomers
5
Connecting Monomers- Hydrolysis- Breaking apart polymer Adding water molecule
6
Connecting Monomers- Dehydration reaction Hydrolysis- Breaking apart polymer Adding water molecule
7
Connecting Monomers- Dehydration reaction joining monomers loss of water molecule Hydrolysis- Breaking apart polymer Adding water molecule
8
Connecting Monomers- Dehydration reaction joining monomers loss of water molecule Hydrolysis- Breaking apart polymer Adding water molecule
9
Connecting Monomers- Dehydration reaction this takes energy Hydrolysis- Breaking apart polymer Adding water molecule (reaction occurs b/c of enzymes)
10
Hydrolysis- Breaking apart polymer Adding water molecule Breaking apart polymers
11
Hydrolysis- Breaking apart polymer Adding water molecule Breaking apart polymers Hydrolysis- (break w/ water) Adding water molecule
12
Hydrolysis- Breaking apart polymer Adding water molecule Breaking apart polymers Hydrolysis- (break w/ water) Adding water molecule
13
Hydrolysis- Breaking apart polymer Adding water molecule Breaking apart polymers Hydrolysis- (break w/ water) Adding water molecule

15
Macromolecules (large molecules): Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids
16
Carbohydrates- Function = fuel Structure = 3 types:
17
Carbohydrates- structure:
18
1) Monosaccharides Single Sugar molecule = structure
20
Monosaccharides fuel for cellular use = function ex. glucose
21
Monosaccharides Single Sugar Fuel for cellular function BTW: form rings in aqueous solution
22
Monosaccharides - Multiple of CH 2 O ex. C 6 H 12 O 6
23
Monosaccharides - KETOSE- C=O off middle ALDOSE - C=O-H from end
24
2) Disaccharides
25
two sugar monomers = Structure (joined by a glycosidic linkage via. dehydration synthesis)
26
2) Disaccharides two sugar monomers = Structure (joined by a glycosidic linkage via. dehydration synthesis)
27
2) Disaccharides
28
3) Polysaccharides many monomers = structure
29
Polysaccharides Functions: energy storage glycogen (animal) starch (plant)
30
Polysaccharides Functions: Structural/ support polysaccharides = cellulose chitin
32
Do you see the difference?
34
Macromolecules (large molecules): Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids
35
Lipids- Types: Fats Phospholipid Steriods
36
Why are these molecules hydrophobic ???????????????????
37
Lipids- (hydrophobic) 1) Fats 1) Fats - functions: -energy storage -insulation / cushion
38
Fats- Fats- structure 3 Glycerol (alcohol) + Fatty acid chain = hydrophobic Energy storage Cushion
39
Fats- Fats- structure 3 Glycerol (alcohol) Fatty acid chain = hydrophobic Energy storage Cushion +3 fatty acid chains
46
Types of Lipids: 2) Phospholipids- 1 Glycerol (alcohol) +
47
Types of Lipids: 2) Phospholipids- 1 Glycerol (alcohol) +2 fatty acid chains +
48
Types of Lipids: Phospholipids- 1 Glycerol (alcohol) +2 fatty acid chains + phosphate group
49
Types of Lipids: Phospholipids- 1 Glycerol (alcohol) +2 fatty acid chains + phosphate group
50
Types of Lipids: Phospholipids- Phosphate group = hydrophilic Fatty acid chain = hydrophobic Cell membrane
51
Hydrophilic head Hydrophobic tails WATER
52
Types of Lipids: 3) Steroids C-skeleton = 4 fused rings + functional group cholesterol, sex hormones, sheath of neurons
53
Macromolecules (large molecules): Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids
54
Amino Acids C R H carboxyl amino group 20 types 20 types
55
Proteins- Structure = one or more polypeptides- polymer of amino acids
56
Proteins- one or more polypeptides- polymer of amino acids
57
Amino Acids C R H carboxyl amino group 20 types 20 types Determined by various side chains
58
Amino Acids
59
Evolutionary Significance All living things use various combinations of the SAME twenty amino acids. A VERY POWERFUL bit of evidence for the connection of all living things!
60
Proteins- functions = support, storage, signaling, transport of substances, signaling, enzymes.
61
Proteins- 4 levels of structure 1) Primary - precise, linear sequence of amino acids. amino - - carboxyl groupgroup
62
Sequence of a.a. determines HOW the protein works Form follows function
63
Isoleucine (Ile) Methionine (Met) Phenylalanine (Phe) Tryptophan (Trp) Proline (Pro) Leucine (Leu) Valine (Val) Alanine (Ala) Nonpolar Glycine (Gly)
64
Asparagine (Asn) Glutamine (Gln)Threonine (Thr) Polar Serine (Ser) Cysteine (Cys) Tyrosine (Tyr)
65
Electrically charged Aspartic acid (Asp) Acidic Basic Glutamic acid (Glu) Lysine (Lys)Arginine (Arg) Histidine (His)
67
Proteins: 4 levels of structure 2) Secondary - folded portions of chain/H-bonds -Alpha helix (coil) -Beta helix (pleated sheet)
69
Abdominal glands of the spider secrete silk fibers that form the web. The radiating strands, made of dry silk fibers, maintain the shape of the web. Spider silk: a structural protein Containing pleated sheets The spiral strands (capture strands) are elastic, stretching in response to wind, rain, and the touch of insects.
70
Proteins- 4 levels of structure 3) Tertiary 3) Tertiary - -3-D -bonding between side chains (3 types)
72
Proteins- 4 levels of structure 4) Quaternary 4) Quaternary - -several polypeptide chains
73
insulin
74
Catalase - we will use this in our lab!
76
Red blood cell shape Normal cells are full of individual hemoglobin molecules, each carrying oxygen. Red blood cell shape Fibers of abnormal hemoglobin deform cell into sickle shape. Red blood cell shape Normal cells are full of individual hemoglobin molecules, each carrying oxygen. Red blood cell shape Fibers of abnormal hemoglobin deform cell into sickle shape.
77
Primary structure Secondary and tertiary structures Normal hemoglobin Primary structure Secondary and tertiary structures Sickle-cell hemoglobin Quaternary structure Normal hemoglobin (top view) Function Molecules do not associate with one another; each carries oxygen. Quaternary structure Sickle-cell hemoglobin Function Molecules interact with one another to crystallize into a fiber; capacity to carry oxygen is greatly reduced. Exposed hydrophobic region subunit POINT!
80
Nucleic Acids- DNA RNA Programs ALL cellular function
81
Nucleic Acids- Composed of: nitrogenous base, 5-Carbon sugar, phosphate group = NUCLEOTIDE
84
Nitrogenous Bases- Pyrimidines - (T,C, U) Purines -(A,G) bases are complementary:
