“Chemical reactions underlie all physiological processes.”
3
Organic Compounds contain carbon covalently bonded
large - macromolecules made by living things
4
C

Macromolecules
7
Types of Organic Molecules
Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic acids
8
Basic Unit Macromolecule
9
Dehydration Synthesis Reaction
C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 → C12H22O12 + H2O + → H2O +
10
Hydrolysis Reactions → ex: digestion
C12H22O12 + H2O → C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 → + H2O +
11
Proteins
12
Proteins C, H, O, N (and other elements)
basic building materials of all living things made of monomers called amino acids
13
What do proteins do - video
14
Examples of Structural Proteins
15
Examples of Functional Proteins
Involved in Physiology Antibodies Hormones Enzymes Hemoglobin
16
receptors Carrier molecules
18
Protein Structure
19
Basic unit – Amino Acids
20 different aa 7 are essential because we can not synthesize them (must be provided in our diet)
20
“R” group that is unique to that aa
amino group - NH2 acid group - COOH “R” group that is unique to that aa
21
There are 20 different amino acids.
23
Amino acids bond together by having the amino group of 1 bond with the acid group of another - peptide bond. They form a dipeptide.
24
Proteins are made of 1 or more polypeptide chains.
25
Polypeptide chains fold and wrap around each other to form proteins.
26
Some are in long chains, some wrap around each other, or are “woven” in layers.
27
Enzymes Some proteins act as a catalysts - speed up reactions without becoming involved in them. These are called enzymes.
28
Enzymes provide a site where reactants can be brought together to react.
Such a site reduces the energy needed for a reaction to occur.
29
Enzymes Substrate- the substance on which an enzyme is acting
Active site- the area on the enzyme to which the substrate binds
30
Which one will fit ?
31
Enzymes enable reactions to occur without excessive heat (body temperature)
32
Enzymes end in ase Catalase Amalase
Note:
34
Denature- when an enzyme unfolds (looses its structure) and is rendered nonfunctional
35
Things that denature enzymes: Heat pH change
Addition of ionic substances Animation- activity.html
36
Amino Acids Proteins
37
Nucleic Acids
38
Nucleic Acids store and transmit hereditary information
made of monomers called nucleotides contains a sugar, a base, and a phosphate group PO4
39
2 Kinds of Nucleic Acids DNA- deoxyribonucleic acid
records the genetic instructions and transmits them from generation to generation the “master” molecule
40
“reads” the DNA instructions and carries them out
2. RNA - ribonucleic acid “reads” the DNA instructions and carries them out the “slaves” for DNA
41
Nucleotides DNA and RNA
42
From DNA to protein - 3D - video
43
ATP = energy Cells use ATP for energy.
44
ATP → ADP + P + energy When they are broken, a large amount of energy is released.
45
ADP + P + energy → ATP In order to store energy, energy from food is used to bond a P back to ADP.
49
ex: muscle, hair, nails, web, horns, hormones, enzymes, antibodies, hemoglobin
