1 THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE

2 Carbon Has a valence of 4, which allows it to create a variety of different compounds much more than other atoms.

3 Carbon

4 Contain one or more Carbon atoms
ORGANIC CHEMICALS Contain one or more Carbon atoms

5 Because life is highly complex, its chemical make up is also complex.
COMPLEXITY OF LIFE Because life is highly complex, its chemical make up is also complex.

6 POLYMERIZATION Putting together simple building blocks to form larger more complex molecules

7 MONOMERS AND POLYMERS MONOMER IS THE BOXCAR

8 POLYMER IS THE WHOLE TRAIN
MONOMERS AND POLYMERS POLYMER IS THE WHOLE TRAIN

9 MONOMERS AND POLYMERS BUILDING COMPLEXITY

10 MONO MEANS ONE POLY MEANS MANY

17 A DIFFERENT POLYMER

18 CARBOHYDRATES LIPIDS PROTEINS NUCLEIC ACIDS
THE 4 ORGANIC GROUPS CARBOHYDRATES LIPIDS PROTEINS NUCLEIC ACIDS

19 CARBOHYDRATES PURPOSE IN A LIVING SYSTEM – THESE ARE ENERGY MOLECULES!
THESE WILL ALSO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR PLANTS!

20 SOME OF THIS MAY BE FAMILIAR:
CARBOHYDRATES SOME OF THIS MAY BE FAMILIAR: SIMPLE CARBS COMPLEX CARBS

21 SOME OF THIS MIGHT BE NEW:
CARBOHYDRATES SOME OF THIS MIGHT BE NEW: POLYMER MONOMER MONOSACCHARIDES POLYSACCHARIDES

22 LIPIDS PURPOSE IN A LIVING SYSTEM – THESE STORE ENERGY!
THESE WILL ALSO PROVIDE PROTECTION FOR PLANTS!

23 SOME OF THIS MAY BE FAMILIAR:
LIPIDS SOME OF THIS MAY BE FAMILIAR: THESE ARE BOTH POLYMERS FATS OILS

24 LIPID MONOMERS ARE: GLYCEROL AND THREE FATTY ACIDS
LIPIDS LIPID MONOMERS ARE: GLYCEROL AND THREE FATTY ACIDS

25 LIPIDS

26 PURPOSE IN A LIVING SYSTEM – PROTEINS DO SO MANY THINGS!

27 PROTEINS PURPOSE IN A LIVING SYSTEM
Hormones, growth, repair, cell identification, speeding up body chemistry,

28 PROTEINS MONOMER = AMINO ACID

29 PROTEINS POLYMER = POLYPEPTIDE AMINO ACID 1 AMINO ACID 2 AMINO ACID 3

30 PROTEINS POLYMER = POLYPEPTIDE PEPTIDE BOND PEPTIDE BOND

31 A PROTEIN

32 NUCLEIC ACIDS PURPOSE IN A LIVING SYSTEM –
THESE MOLECULES STORE AND MOVE INFORMATION

33 NUCLEIC ACIDS THE AWESOME DNA
