Concept 1: Analyzing and the chemistry of life (Ch 2, 3, 4, 5)
MACROMOLECULES Ch 5 in Campbell p in Holtzclaw
2
Macromolecules You must know: The role of dehydration synthesis in the formation of organic compounds and hydrolysis in the digestion of organic compounds. How to recognize the four biologically important organic compounds (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) by their structural formulas. The cellular functions of all four organic compounds. The four structural levels that proteins can go through to reach their final shape (conformation) and the denaturing impact that heat and pH scale can have on protein structure.
3
Two important biochemical reactions:
Dehydration Synthesis Hydrolysis
4
Dehydration Synthesis
5
Dehydration Synthesis
Example – building a ‘disaccharide’
6
Hydrolysis
7
Hydrolysis Example – digesting a ‘disaccharide’
8
Reversible!
