1. Macromolecules/ Organic Compounds
Notes #7

2. All living things are made of?
Carbon.
What are Macromolecules?
ANS: Large compounds that make up life
-created by joining smaller
compounds together.

3. Polymers vs Monomers Monomers: smaller compounds used to form polymers
Polymers: Large compounds created by joining monomers together.

4. How to make macromolecues?
Polymerization
(also known as Dehydration synthesis)
-a process used to make macromolecules by taking out water & joining monomers together.

5. How to Break up Macromolecules
Hydrolysis: process used to break down polymers into monomers by adding water.
Ex.

6. What are the Macromolecules in this burger?
Carbohydrate---->
Protein ---->
Lipids/ fats----->

7. 4 Types of Macromoleuces
Carbohydrates: made up of C, H, O
Has the word -saccharide (means “sugar”)
Important Function: Main source of chemical energy
Ex. Monomers Polymers
-Monosaccharides Polysaccharides
(single sugar) (many sugars)
-glucose starch

8. Carbohydrates

9. 2) Lipids (Also known as FATS
2) Lipids (Also known as FATS.): -made of C & H -nondissolvable in water Important Function: Stores long term energy & build cell membranes. Structure of a Fat molecule is made up of a Glycerol & 3 Fatty Acids. ex. Oils, waxes, and steroids

10. Fats

11. 3) Nucleic Acids: made of C, H, O, N, P -made of monomers called nucleotides Important Function: Stores & transfers genetic information ex. DNA = Deoxyribonucleic Acid RNA = Ribonucleic Acid

12. Example of Nucleic Acid

13. 4) Protein: contains C, H, O, N Important Function: Builds cell parts, carry chemical reactions, transport molecules & movement of body ex. Cell organelles, Beans, & Meat (Muscles)

14. Example of Protein

15. Chemical Reactions
Reactants: Chemicals mixed together that go through a chemical change.
Products: The end result of a chemical reaction.
Ex. Reactants  Products
2H2 + O2  2(H2O)

16. What are Enzymes?
ANS: Special proteins that speed up chemical reactions. -They work best at specific tempt. and pH levels.

17. What are substrates?
ANS: Reactants that interact with enzymes.

18. Enzyme Actions Enzyme-Substrate Complex (a.k.a. the Lock & Key Model.)
Ex. Enzyme (key) & Substrate (lock)
