{Insert entrance instructions here} For example: 1. Enter the classroom silently and find your seat. 2. Write down homework in your planner. 3. Do Now 4. Wait silently for instructions 10 min AGENDA DO NOW: EPA practice Objective(s): (Obj 1) Analyze the structures and function of different types of biomolecules. DATE HERE Statement of Inquiry:
2
Objective of the day (Obj 1) Compare the structures and function of different types of biomolecules.
3
Venus Fly Trap How can this plant digest a fly? 10 min
5
Venus Fly Trap Like other carnivores, the Venus flytrap eats animals to get nutrients that it needs to make molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Other chemical compounds made by the plant’s cells enable the Venus flytrap to digest the animals that it eats. These chemicals are similar to the chemicals that allow you to digest the food that you eat.
6
Statement of Inquiry/IB Trait STATEMENT OF INQUIRY: The relationship between the structure and function of our parts is one way that we define what it means to be human. IB TRAIT: THINKERS, COMMUNICATORS and INQUIRERS
7
7 Uses of Organic Molecules Americans consume an average of 140 pounds of sugar per person per year Cellulose, found in plant cell walls, is the most abundant organic compound on Earth
8
8 Uses of Organic Molecules A typical cell in your body has about 2 meters of DNA A typical cow produces over 200 pounds of methane gas each year HOW??!!
9
9 Water About 60-90 percent of an organism is water Water is used in most reactions in the body Water is called the universal solvent
10
Elements Pure substances Have only ONE type of atom Composed of: –Protons (+) –Electrons (-) –Neutrons (0) Examples:
11
What 4 elements are most present in organisms?
12
Composition of Elements Protons and neutrons in the nucleus Electrons in shells outside the nucleus 1 st shell needs 2 electrons to be full Outer shells need 8 electrons to be full Bohr Model
13
Atomic Number Atomic # = # protons Also = # electrons Ex. Lithium has 3 protons and 3 electrons
14
Molecule or Compound? A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically. atoms A compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements.elements All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds. Molecule or Compound ?
15
Pictures of Compounds Water H 2 O Glucose C 6 H 12 O 6
16
Macromolecules Macromolecule means LARGE molecule Carbohydrates – sugars and starches C, H, O Lipids – fats and oils C, H, O Proteins – muscle and enzymes C, H, O, N Nucleic acids – DNA and RNA C, H, O, N, P Why do you eat food? For raw materials to build and energy!
17
Carbohydrates Made up of C,H,O Biological Function: source of energy Examples: sugar, rice, bread, potatoes Monomer: monosaccharide
18
Lipids Made of C,H,O Biological Function: Store energy Biological examples: wax, oil, butter. Monomer: 1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids
19
Lipids are insoluble in water! Repeat!!! Q1
20
20 Lipids & Cell Membranes Cell membranes are made of lipids called phospholipids Phospholipids have a head that is polar & attract water (hydrophilic) Phospholipids also have 2 tails that are nonpolar and do not attract water (hydrophobic)
21
Proteins Made of C,H,O,N Biological function: Building and repairing cells, metabolism: speeds up or slows down chemical reactions Biological example: meat/muscle, hair, nails, enzymes Monomer: amino acid
22
22 Proteins Proteins are polymers made of monomers called amino acids All proteins are made of 20 different amino acids linked in different orders Proteins are used to build cells, act as hormones & enzymes, and do much of the work in a cell
23
Enzymes Proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the cell (catalysts). Catabolism - breaking molecules Anabolism – making molecules
24
Nucleic Acids Made of C,H,O,N,P Biological Function: Information called genes, determines physical appearance Biological Example: DNA, RNA, ATP Monomer: nucleotides
25
25 Nucleic Acids Store hereditary information Contain information for making all the body’s proteins Two types exist --- DNA & RNA
26
26 Nucleic Acids Nitrogenous base (A,G,C, or T) Phosphate group Thymine (T) Sugar (deoxyribose) Phosphate Base Suga r Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides Nucleotide
27
27 Nucleic Acids
28
28 Bases Each DNA nucleotide has one of the following bases: Thymine (T)Cytosine (C) Adenine (A)Guanine (G) – Adenine (A) – Guanine (G) – Thymine (T) – Cytosine (C)
29
So how do molecules (chemistry) become life (biology)?
30
Who can tell me what you’re made of? Carbohydrates – sugars CHO Lipids – fats CHO Proteins – muscle, hair, and enzymes CHON Nucleic Acids – DNA, RNA, ATP CHONP
31
31 ATP – Cellular Energy ATP is used by cells for energy Adenosine triphosphate Made of a nucleotide with 3 phosphate groups
32
ATP – Cellular Energy Energy is stored in the chemical bonds of ATP The last 2 phosphate bonds are HIGH ENERGY Breaking the last phosphate bond releases energy for cellular work and produces ADP and a free phosphate ADP (adenosine Diphosphate) can be rejoined to the free phosphate to make more ATP 32
33
Guided Practice Biomolecule Shuffle 15 min
34
More Guided Practice Glucose, Carbohydrate, cellulose, Plant cell fibers Amino acid, protein, Hemoglobin, Transports oxygen in blood Nucleotide, Nucleic acid, DNA, Codes genetic information. 3 min
