1. Biological Molecules

2. What is biochemistry??? Bio chemistry
The study of matter and the changes in matter
Pertaining to life
Bio
chemistry
Proteins
Nucleic Acids
Carbohydrates
Lipids

3. Macromolecules Monomer
AKA: Subunit
Polymer: Very large molecule made from individual pieces

4. Hydrolysis: Breaks apart the polymer into monomers
Water needed to break the bond
Dehydration Synthesis: AKA: Polymerization
Links the monomers together to form the polymer
Produces water

5. What do monomers look like?
Hydrocarbon: Molecule containing
Hydrogen and Carbon
Saturated
Ethene
Ethane
Unsaturated
Ethyne

6. Molecular Structure
BRANCH
CHAIN
RING

7. Substituted Hydrocarbon
Methane
Hydroxyl -OH
Add –ol suffix to name
Creates an alcohol
Used to disinfect or as a fuel
Methanol

8. Methane Methanoic Acid
Carboxyl Group -COOH
Creates a carboxylic acid or organic acid
Found in citrus fruits, vinegar (ethanoic acid)
Methanoic Acid

9. Methane
Amine -NH2
Includes novocaine, painkiller
Methylamine

17. Group Project- Make a Biological Molecule
Build a biological molecule to hang from the ceiling.
Include all major structures.
Sketch out model before building.
You will have 20 minutes in class today and tomorrow to collaborate and 30 minutes to build on Friday.
Be creative!!!
