1. Macromolecules: You are what you eat

2. CHNOPS… the main elements that make up your body!!!!

3. What are Macromolecules?
Nutrients provide the raw materials required for growth, repair and energy for living things.
Macromolecules are polymers.
Monomer: 1 molecule
Polymer: Many molecules bound together.

4. 4 Types of Macromolecules
Carbohydrates: Sugars + Starches
Lipids: Fats and Oils
Protein: Muscle Tissue
Nucleic Acids: Microscopic Genetic Material

5. Identify each example according to type of macromolecule. . .

6. Butter

7. Chicken Breast

8. Bread

9. Fish Filet

10. Pizza Grease

11. Corn Syrup

12. DNA

13. Amoeba Sisters
Stop

14. Carbohydrates

15. Monomers = mono-saccharide
sugar – sugar – sugar – sugar – sugar – sugar

16. Function of Carbohydrates
quick energy
energy storage
structure
starch

17. Monosaccharides
The monomer of carbohydrates is a single sugar with the chemical formula of C6H12O6
All monosaccharides have the same chemical formula, but different shapes.
Examples:
Glucose
Fructose
Galactose

18. Carbohydrates: Disaccharides
Disaccharide = Double sugar.
They’re made by joining 2 monosaccharides

20. Carbohydrates: Polysaccharides
Polysaccharide = Many sugars
This is a long chain of monosaccharides
Examples:
Starch: Grain Foods
Cellulose: Plant fiber

21. WHAT SYNTHESIZES CARBOHYDRATES?

22. Long term energy storage
Lipids
Long term energy storage

23. Long term energy storage
Lip = ?
Lipids
Long term energy storage

24. Long term energy storage
Lip = Fat
Lipids
Long term energy storage

25. MONOMER = GLYCEROL & FATTY ACID
Glycerol HEAD
Fatty Acid
TAIL
MONOMER = GLYCEROL & FATTY ACID

26. Another way to Illustrate Lipids
Head
Tail

27. Lipids Examples fats oils waxes hormones (sex) sex hormones
testosterone (male)
estrogen (female)

28. Lipids Function: energy storage cell membrane- hydrophobic
very concentrated
twice the energy as carbohydrates!
cell membrane- hydrophobic
cushions organs
insulates body
think whale blubber!

29. Lipids Function: energy storage cell membrane cushions organs
very concentrated
twice the energy as carbohydrates!
cell membrane
cushions organs
insulates body
think whale blubber!

30. Saturated vs. Unsaturated Animal (solid) vs. Plant (liquid)✓

31. Proteins!

32. MONOMER = AMINO ACID
Amino Proteino
Amine

33. Function of Proteins in your Body
Hormones
Signals from one body system to another (mood swings; growth; immune; metabolism; fight; flight; puberty; menopause; hunger;)

34. Examples:
Enzymes
Speeds up chemical reactions

35. Muscles

36. Look Mom – I can denature proteins!!!
Denaturing Proteins
Look Mom – I can denature proteins!!!
Milk protein separates into curds & whey when it is exposed to acids

37. Nucleic acids:
Information molecules

38. Nucleic acids Monomer = nucleotide N base
Nitrogen bases I’m the A,T,C,G or U part!
phosphate
sugar
N base

39. Nucleic Acids Function: genetic material stores information
transfers information
DNA
proteins

40. Nucleotide chains Nucleic acids nucleotides chained into a polymer
phosphate
sugar
N base
