2 oxygen atoms + 1 Carbon atom =
Atoms can form chemical bonds by transferring or sharing outer shell electrons 2 oxygen atoms + 1 Carbon atom = Chemical formula CO2 Structural Formula Notice two oxygen and one carbon in this chemical formula

Comparison of Terms Molecule Macromolecule
Vinyl chloride is a colorless gas at room temperature PVC
8
Macromolecules Are the complex molecules that comprise living things
9
The 4 Macromolecules
10
Macromolecules: Polymers Made of Repeating Monomers
Monomer Unit Carbohydrates Sugars Lipids Fatty acids Proteins Amino acids Nucleic Acids Nucleotides
12
Synthesis and Breakdown of Macromolecules
Dehydration Synthesis Removal of water to add monomer units Hydrolysis Addition of OH and H groups of water to break a bond between monomers
13
Dehydration Synthesis / Hydrolysis
15
Carbohydrates: Functions
Energy source Structural component Cell-cell communication
16
Lipids: Structure Phospholipid—component of cell membranes Hydrophilic
Polar Head Glycerol Fatty Acid Tails Hydrophilic Hydrophobic
17
Triglyceride Formation
H C OH O C H Glycerol Remove These Waters C O H This shows how water is removed from three fatty acids and glycerol to make a fat and water. C OH O H C OH O H C OH O H C O H Add 3 Fatty Acids HOH 3 Waters

The “R” Group Differs for Each Amino Acid
Proteins: Structure Primary structure = chain of amino acids Amino acids have common features Carboxylic Acid Group Amino Group See p 34 R “Alpha” Carbon The “R” Group Differs for Each Amino Acid
22
Proteins: Structure Forming the Protein Chain
The Peptide Bond Water Phenylalanine-Leucine Dipeptide
23
Four Levels of Protein Structure
Primary Structure = sequence of amino acids in chain
24
Four Levels of Protein Structure
Primary (Sequence) Tertiary (Folding by R-group interactions) Depending on the sequence of amino acids, the polypeptide chain can either form a spiral like the tube on the left, or a pleated sheet like on the right. Some proteins have a spiral section followed by a sheet section, etc. Quaternary (Two or more chains associating) Secondary (Coiling by Hydrogen Bonding)
