1 Introduction to the Ingredients of Life
Macromolecules Introduction to the Ingredients of Life

2 I can identify the functions of carbohydrates in organisms.
Objective: I can identify the functions of carbohydrates in organisms.

3 Write the text that is BLUE in your journal.

4 Molecule without carbon Forms non-living things Macromolecule
VOCABULARY Word Definition Picture Organic Chemical Molecule with carbon Forms living things Inorganic Chemical Molecule without carbon Forms non-living things Macromolecule Very big molecules

5 Macromolecules are the ingredients of all living things.

6 Macromolecules Provide:
Source of Energy Energy Storage Building Blocks of our Bodies Instructions on how to Build

7 Four Biological Macromolecules:
Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Nucleic Acids

8 Carbohydrates

9 Why are carbohydrates importants?
Energy molecules OH H HO CH2OH O

10 Carbohydrates provide energy to drive metabolic reactions.

11 Carbohydrates Function: quick energy energy storage structure
cell wall in plants

12 Carbohydrates sugars give us energy starches store energy
Examples sugars give us energy starches store energy cellulose provides structure in the cell wall of plants

13 Plants store energy in the form of starch.

14

15 What does a carbohydrate look like?
glucose C6H12O6 sucrose starch

16 What are carbohydrates made of?
Building block molecules = sugars sugar - sugar - sugar - sugar - sugar sugar

17 Sugars = building blocks
Names for sugars usually end in Glucose Fructose Sucrose Lactose -ose

18 Glucose Example: Plants/Vegetables OH H HO CH2OH O glucose C6H12O6

19 Fructose Example: Fruit fructose

20 Sucrose Example: Table Sugar sucrose

21 Lactose Example: Dairy Products

22 Types of Carbohydrates
Monosaccharide = 1 sugar Example: Glucose OH H HO CH2OH O glucose C6H12O6

23 Types of Carbohydrates
Disaccharides = 2 sugars Example: Lactose

24 Types of Carbohydrates
Polysaccharides = Many sugars Example: Starch

25 Monosaccharide =1 sugar
Disaccharide = 2 sugars Polysaccharide = many sugars

26 starch cellulose Polysaccharides energy storage in plants
structure in plants cell walls

27 Polysaccharides make up the cellulose in plant.

28 Cellulose is used to create the cell wall that gives a plant structure.

29 Humans cannot digest cellulose.

30 glycogen chitin Polysaccharides energy storage in animals
in liver & muscles chitin structure in exoskeleton & fungi

31 Animals store energy in the muscles and liver in the form of glycogen.

32 Building carbohydrates
Dehydration Synthesis | maltose glucose glucose

33 Building carbohydrates
Dehydration Synthesis sucrose (table sugar) glucose fructose
