Section 2.3: Carbon-Based Molecules Biochemistry
2
Wood Shell Butter Snail Quartz CO2 Sand Leaf Water Rock
You have heard people use the term “Organic” in every day speech…Which of these would be considered Organic vs Inorganic? Wood Shell Butter Snail Quartz CO2 Sand Leaf Water Rock O2 Pearl NaCl Paper Bird SiO Lollipop Cotton Diamond Egg
3
Organic Compounds Must contain C and H covalently bonded together Usually contain O and sometimes N
4
What makes Carbon such a special element?
It can form 4 covalent bonds Forms chains or rings to other Carbons Can single, double or triple bond Easily covalently bonds with H, O and N
5
How are biomolecules put together?
Smallest unit of a biomolecule is called a Monomer (One unit). Simple Sugars, Amino Acids, Fatty Acids and Nucleotides Glucose Amino Acid Fatty Acid
6
2. These monomers will bond together to form a Polymer (Many units).
(Starch, Proteins, Fats, Nucleic acid) Sucrose Lipid
7
What types of nutrients are found in your food?
8
Monomer Polymer MONOSACCHARIDES
9
Polymers form by a bonding monomers together with each other to form larger molecules (like putting beads onto a necklace).
10
_____________________
The formula for Glucose is C6H12O6 and Fructose is also C6H12O6, when they are combined together, the new compound, Sucrose (sugar) is C12H22O11. How could that be? C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 _____________________ C12H24O12 - C12H22O11 ______________ H2O
11
Process of putting the monomers together to form polymers is called Dehydration synthesis (removing water, putting together) For each bond, a water molecule needs to be pulled out to join the 2 monomers together. It is a building up process, going from simple to more complex
12
Dehydration Synthesis

13
Hydrolysis (water loosening) is the reverse of Dehydration Synthesis.
The food we eat usually are polymers which won’t fit into our cells so they need to be broke down Hydrolysis (water loosening) is the reverse of Dehydration Synthesis. It’s a breakdown process Water molecules are put back in to break the bonds of the polymer to become monomers. Commonly known as Digestion

Hydrolysis
16
The Big 4 Biomolecule groups
Carbohydrates Sugars and starches Lipids Fats, Oils, waxes and sterols Nucleic acids DNA and RNA Proteins Hemoglobin, enzymes, muscles, blood, hormones
17
Carbohydrates Main source of energy for the body Made up of C, H & O
H:O is 2:1 Main source of energy for the body Made up of Monosaccharides (Simple Sugars)
18
Monosaccharide Simple Sugar C6H12O6 Provide quick energy Galactose
Glucose Galactose Fructose Provide quick energy Galactose Glucose
19
Disaccharide Double Sugar C12H22O11 Provide fast energy Lactose
Sucrose Lactose Maltose Provide fast energy Lactose Sucrose
20
Polysaccharide Many sugar polymer Starch Glycogen Cellulose
Animal starch stored in liver Cellulose Main component of plant cell walls. Most abundant biomolecule on earth Provide stored energy (4 - 6 hours)
21
Cellulose
22
Glycogen
23
Carbohydrate lab Each pair should build glucose – Initialed
With an adjoining pair, undergo Dehydration Synthesis Get initialed Undergo Hydrolysis – Get initialed Break apart model kits and put back in bag and on front lab table. Complete ALL questions in the lab
24
First make a Glucose molecule
6 5 4 1 3 2
25
-Next, line up the two Glucose molecules side by side
-Next, line up the two Glucose molecules side by side. -To the left Glucose molecule, remove an –OH from the 1st Carbon . -The Glucose on the right will remove a H from the 4th Carbon -Take the –OH and the – to make a water molecule -Join the Oxygen from the Glucose on the right to the Carbon of the Glucose on the left
26
Lipids Glycerol Fatty acids Not soluble in water
Contain C, H, and O where the H:O ratio is >2:1 Fats, oils and waxes Used for stored energy, insulation and waterproofing Made up of Glycerol and Fatty acids Produced by Dehydration synthesis Glycerol Fatty acids
27
3 water molecules were removed
Fatty Acid Glycerol 3 water molecules were removed
28
Triglyceride (a fat)
29
Saturated vs Unsaturated fat controversy
The more H’s in the Hydrocarbon chain, the more energy the fatty acid provides The more H’s, the more solid it will be. Problem with clogging and narrowing of arteries and > blood pressure Angioplasty
30
butter, lard, animal fat, cholesterol, coconut and palm oil
Saturated fats: butter, lard, animal fat, cholesterol, coconut and palm oil are solid at room temp. have no double bonds so there is a maximum of H’s present
31
Unsaturated fats Olive oil, canola oil, margarine Liquid at room temp
Have at least 1 double bond in the H – C chain
32
Polyunsaturated fats Soybean oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, corn oil Clear, thin liquids at room temp Contain many double bonds in H-C chain
33
Each pair should make a Glycerol model
Three Hydroxyl groups with H’s & C’s Hydroxyl groups This is where dehydration synthesis will occur
34
Now make each of the following Fatty Acids
Now make each of the following Fatty Acids. You will need to break some apart to make more. Butryic acid Caproic acid
35
Caproic acid H H H H H O H C C C C C C O H H H H
Now make a double bond in between the two middle Carbons. You will need to take off two hydrogen atoms to do this. Caproic acid H H H H H O H C C C C C C O H H H H
36
Proteins For Building material and Regulation: Large molecules
Hemoglobin, enzymes, muscles, blood, hormones, cell membrane Large molecules Contain C, H, O, & N (sometimes also S) Found in meats, eggs, dairy & Legumes (beans, peas and peanuts) Made up of Amino acids
37
Polymers of Amino Acids
Made up of: an Amino group (-NH2), a Carboxyl group (COOH) a radical (R) or variable group
38
Amino Acids 20 different AA (8 are essential) Most end in “ine”
Since there are 20 different AA, the possible number of proteins formed are limitless (How many words can you make with 26 letters?)
40
When 2 amino acids bond, a Dipeptide is formed by Dehydration Synthesis
The C-N bond formed is called a Peptide bond When 3 or more AA bonds, it’s a Polypeptide
41
Glycine Alanine Water Dipeptide
42
CH3 CH3 CH3
