37
Dehydration Synthesis
39
Building large organic molecules
Small molecules = building blocks Bond them together = polymers A Polymer is made up of repeating subunits
40
Building important polymers
Carbohydrates = built from sugars sugar – sugar – sugar – sugar – sugar – sugar Proteins = built from amino acids amino acid – Nucleic acids (DNA) = built from nucleotides nucleotide – nucleotide – nucleotide – nucleotide A Polymer is made up of repeating subunits
42
1. Monosaccharides (simple sugars)
all have the formula C6 H12 O6 all have a single ring structure (glucose is an example) Sugars end in –ose Ex. Glucose, Fructose, Galactose, Ribose, Deoxyribose
43
2. Disaccharides (double sugars)
all have the formula C12 H22 O11 sucrose (table sugar) is an example
44
3. Polysaccharides Formed of three or more simple sugar units
Glycogen - animal starch stored in liver & muscles Cellulose - indigestible in humans - forms cell walls Starches - used as energy storage
45

Synthesis building bigger molecules from smaller molecules building cells & bodies repair growth reproduction + ATP
46
Building large molecules of life
Chain together smaller molecules building block molecules = monomers Big molecules built from repeating units of little molecules Polymers
47
sugar - sugar - sugar - sugar - sugar
Carbohydrates Building block molecules = sugars sugar - sugar - sugar - sugar - sugar sugar
48

49
How do we combine simple sugars to make bigger sugars?
By the process called Dehydration Synthesis Dehydration- lose of water Synthesis- To make…
50
4. Dehydration Synthesis
Combining simple molecules to form a more complex one with the removal of water ex. monosaccharide + monosaccharide ----> disaccharide + water (C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 ----> C12H22O11 + H2O Polysaccharides are formed from repeated dehydration synthesis One example is starch…made by plants
51
amino acids = building block

Activity (dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis)
55
What is the Mechanism of digestion?
Hydrolysis
57
Addition of WATER to a compound to SPLIT it into smaller subunits
5. Hydrolysis Addition of WATER to a compound to SPLIT it into smaller subunits (also called chemical digestion) ex. disaccharide + H2O ---> monosaccharide + monosaccharide C12 H22 O11 + H2 O ---> C6 H12 O6 + C6 H12 O6
58
Proteins
59
Multipurpose molecules
Proteins: Multipurpose molecules
60
Proteins Examples muscle skin, hair, fingernails, claws pepsin insulin
collagen, keratin pepsin digestive enzyme in stomach insulin hormone that controls blood sugar levels pepsin collagen (skin)
61
Do Now: How are the following 2 reactions different? Explain.
1) C12 H22 O H2O ---> C6 H12 O6 + C6 H12 O6 2) C6 H12 O6 + C6 H12 O6 ---> C12 H22 O H2O Note-Use the terms Dehydration synthesis, hydrolysis in your answer. Write A (on top right corner of the card) if you think your answer is correct and B if you are not sure/don’t know the answer. Ans: 1st is digestion of a disaccharide sugar by the mechanism of hydrolysis –addition of water 2nd is the synthesis of a disaccharide from 2 monosaccharide by the mechanism of dehydration synthesis- loss of water
62
Proteins —N— H | —C— C—OH || O Building block = amino acids –
20 different amino acids There’s 20 of us… like 20 different letters in an alphabet! Can make lots of different words —N— H | —C— C—OH || O variable group
64
Proteins are polymers of amino acids
Small molecules = Amino acids (building blocks) Bond them together = Protiens (polymers)
65
There are 20 types of amino acids
C2H5OH C2H5 CH3 Only R group is different between the 20 types of amino acids
66
C. PROTEINS contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen composed of MANY amino acid subunits It is the arrangement of the amino acid that forms the primary structure of proteins. The basic amino acid form has a carboxyl group on one end, a methyl group that only has one hydrogen in the middle, and a amino group on the other end. Attached to the methyl group is an R group.

Lipids: Fats & Oils
77
Concentrated energy molecules
Lipids Concentrated energy molecules
78
Lipids Examples fats oils waxes hormones sex hormones
testosterone (male) estrogen (female)
79
Lipids Function: energy storage cell membrane cushions organs
very concentrated twice the energy as carbohydrates! cell membrane cushions organs insulates body think whale blubber!
80
Other lipids in biology
Cell membranes are made out of lipids phospholipids heads are on the outside touching water “like” water tails are on inside away from water “scared” of water forms a barrier between the cell & the outside
81
Saturated vs. unsaturated
82
B. Lipids (Fats) Fats, oils, waxes, steroids
Chiefly function in energy storage, protection, and insulation Contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but the H:O is not in a 2:1 ratio Tend to be large molecules -- an example of a neutral lipid is below
83
Structure of Fat not a chain (polymer) = just a “big fat molecule”
89
5. Neutral lipids are formed from the union of
one glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acids fatty acids + glycerol ----> neutral fat (lipid) 7. Fats -- found chiefly in animals 8. Oils and waxes -- found chiefly in plants Oils are liquid at room temperature, waxes are solids 10. Lipids along with proteins are key components of cell membranes 11. Steroids are special lipids used to build many reproductive hormones and cholesterol
90
Proteins are very versatile!
They play different roles in the body Some act as hormones Some as enzymes to do chemical reactions A Enzyme B Some as antibodies to protect you Some act as hemoglobin to help carry oxygen
91
Many Functions of Membrane Proteins
“Channel” Outside Plasma membrane Inside Transporter Enzyme activity Cell surface receptor “Antigen” Signal transduction - transmitting a signal from outside the cell to the cell nucleus, like receiving a hormone which triggers a receptor on the inside of the cell that then signals to the nucleus that a protein must be made. Cell surface identity marker Cell adhesion Attachment to the cytoskeleton
92
How proteins help in your metabolism?
By playing the role of enzymes
93
Thousands of chemical reactions happen inside each cell
Cellular respiration, photosynthesis, synthesis of proteins etc etc… Some are breakdown reactions (catabolic) and some are synthesis reactions (anabolic) Sum of all chemical reactions is called metabolism
