2
Fats Carbohydrates Protein + Nucleic acids
3
Triglycerides Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature: olive oil, canola oil Saturated fats are solids at room temperature: lard, butter, animal fat Sterols Cholesterol Hormones: testosterone, estrogen, Phospholipids phosphoglycerides
4
Storage form of energy for humans Insulation for heat retention Protection for delicate organs Key part of cell membranes Hormones that control certain body functions
5
Glycerol plus 3 fatty acid chains
7
Types of triglycerides Unsaturated – double bonds in fa chain Saturated – only single bonds in fa chain
10
Basic building block of cell membranes
11
Cholesterol
12
C x (H 2 O) z Single bonds (C-H, C-C, C-O) Types of carbohydrate molecules Simple sugars Polysaccharides Starchs
13
Main energy source for humans Formed by photosynthesis in plants Types of Carbohydrates Monosaccharide (1 sugar) Disaccharide (2 sugars linked in a chain) Polysaccharide (>2 sugars linked in a chain)
14
Two most common Glucose Primary storage form of energy in human body Fructose Main sugar found in most plants Others types consumed Galactose (from mammalian milk) Glucose
16
Sucrose
17
Polymers of the simple sugars Long chains of simple sugars bonded together - polysaccharides
18
Starch is a polymer of the monosaccharide glucose It’s a long straight chain of glucose molecules joined together It is plants way to store glucose
19
Glycogen is a polymer of the monosaccharide glucose It’s a branched chain of glucose molecules joined together It is the human body’s way to store glucose in liver and muscle
20
Made by plants Cross linking adds rigidity Hydrogen bonding occurs between cellulose polymers Forms cell wall – used for support in plants Animals can’t digest 1500 linked glucose molecules Cellulose
21
Proteins made from chains of amino acids
22
20 Key Amino Acids in Humans
23
Proteins joining 2 amino acids – forms dipeptide
24
Proteins sequence of amino acids in proteins is genetically determined
25
Protein Folding Simplified Protein Folding Hydrophilic / hydrophobic effects Rules of Protein Folding
26
Four Levels of Protein Structure Primary Structure – the order of the amino acids Secondary Structure – hydrogen bonding effect – helices and sheets Tertiary Structure – weaker electrostatic force effect – “globs” Quaternary Structure – association of subunits
28
The Making of a Protein The amino acid sequence is encoded in DNA Protein shape is determined by the amino acid sequence
29
T M E S Protein Roles - TAMES A
30
Transport Protein - Hemoglobin
31
Enzyme in egg white and human tears 116 amino acids long breaks down small sugars attacks bacterial cell walls
34
Lipoproteins – blood, membranes and transportation of materials Glycoproteins – antibodies, cell surface proteins Nucleoproteins - ribosomes Protein Hybrids
35
DNA – deoxyribonucleic acid built from deoxyribonucleotides adenine thymine guanine cytosine RNA – ribonucleic acid built from ribonucleotides adenine uracil guanine cytosine Nucleic Acids
36
DNA contains sequences that code for proteins is passed on from generation to generation RNA mirrors DNA and carries instructions from cell nucleus to cytoplasm where proteins are made in viruses it can carry out DNA role Nucleic Acids - Roles
37
Nucleic Acid Molecules
