1
Review Draw each chemical group without looking: Hydroxyl, Carbonyl, Carboxyl, Amino, Sulfhydryl, Phosphate and Methyl. Once you have tried without looking, you may check your work by looking in the book or in your notes
3
Be able to… Name all 4 macromolecules of life and their main functions Name examples of where they are found in the cell
6
Macromolecules – huge molecules in living organisms that are essential to life Polymer – long molecules consisting of many similar building blocks Monomer – the small building blocks
7
Get in a line and do the cho cho train. Put your hand on the shoulder of the person in front of you.
8
Carbohydrates – sugars and polymers of sugars Monosaccharides – one sugar *Be able to recognize the difference between glucose and fructose in their ring structure Glucose
9
Carbohydrates Disaccharides – two sugars Glucose + Fructose = Sucrose (table sugar) Glucose + Glucose = Maltose Galactose + Glucose = Lactose
10
Carbohydrates Polysaccharides – many sugars Starch – Helix shaped (storage) Cellulose – Long strands “cable like” shape(structural) Glucose polymers Plant starchesGlycogen - Animal starch Amylopectin (Branched) Amylose (unbranched)
12
Lipids – mix poorly with water Types Fats – stores energy Phospholipids – the membranes around your cells Steroids – such as hormones Fats Phospholipids Steroids
13
Fats Unsaturated – a double bond (makes a kink in the chain) Saturated – no double bonds ( all straight chains)
14
Lipids - Phospholipids Hydrophillic head – can bond to water Hydrophobic tail – does not bond to water
15
Proteins Structure Primary Secondary Tertiary Quaternary
16
Proteins – Primary structure The small subunits make up a polypeptide chain just as letters make up words 20 different amino acids, so if it was 127 amino acids long then there would be 20 127th different ways of making a polypeptide chain
17
Proteins – Secondary structure α Helix and β pleated sheet They bond because of the hydrogen bonds in the backbone (the oxygen and hydrogen)
18
Proteins – Tertiary structure All of the α Helix and β pleated sheets fold in on each other The chemical bonding is due to the R-groups (side chains). Ex. Hydrophobic (non polar side chains accumulate on the inside of a protein if there is water outside the protein) or Ionic bonds resulting from side chains
19
Proteins – Quaternary structure More than one polypeptide chain “globs” together
20
Antibody protein Protein from flu virus Structure and function: Proteins have a specific shape that helps bind specific molecules
21
Nucleic acids – DNA and RNA Carries information to synthesize polypeptides DNA RNA Proteins
22
Structure of Nucleic acids The monomer (nucleotide) is made of a phosphate group, a sugar (pentose) and a nitrogenous base
