Session 2 Biomolecules and Enzymes
Biology STAAR Review Session 2 Biomolecules and Enzymes
2
WELCOME!!!! NO EATING OR DRINKING ALLOWED IN THE AUDITORIUM Put away your phones and any other distractions Have handy a pen & a highlighter
3
B9A: You are expected to compare the functions of different types of biomolecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. B9C: You are expected to identify and investigate the role of enzymes
4
Carbohydrates Composed of C, H, O Monomer – monosaccharides (sugars)
Structure/shape – hexagon Function – source of quick energy, structure/support of cells Examples Mono: Glucose, fructose Poly: Cellulose, glycogen, starch Found in – fruits & veggies Starch Glucose
5
Lipids Composed of C, H, O Monomer – One glycerol & 3 fatty acids
Structure/shape – E Function- Stores long-term energy, insulation & protection Main component of cell membrane Provides waterproof covering Examples - Fats, oils(mono & polyunsaturated) Found in – butter, animal fats, oils
6
Protein Composed of C, H, O, N Structure/shape Monomer – amino acids
Function Build cells & body structures Transports molecules in cell membranes Examples – Enzymes, hormones Found in muscles, bone, skin, hair, Amino acids
7
Nucleic Acid Composed of C, H, O, N, P Monomer – nucleotides
Structure/shape-sugar, nitrogen base and a phosphate Function Store & transmit genetic info Instruction for protein synthesis Examples DNA, RNA
8
Monomers that make up Polymers
MONOSACCHARIDES FATTY ACIDS AMINO ACIDS NUCLEOTIDES POLYSACCHARIDES TRIGLYCERIDES PROTEINS NUCLEIC ACIDS
9
Enzymes Enzymes control the rate of chemical reactions by weakening bonds, and lowering the amount of activation energy needed
10
Enzymes Specialized proteins, catalysts (speed up chemical reactions), can either build or break down molecules
11
Enzymes Do NOT change during reaction, are reusable,
Are specific to reaction & end in “-ase” Example: Lactase speeds up the breakdown of lactose
12
Enzyme Structure SUBSTRATE ACTIVE SITE
13
Factors that affect enzymes
Environmental conditions Temperature, pH, Salt
14
Factors that affect enzymes
Inhibitors Chemicals interfere with active site
15
Factors that affect enzymes
Coenzymes/cofactors Needed for enzymes to bind properly to substrates Ex. Zinc, iron, vitamins
16
The diagram represents one way an enzyme can be inhibited
The diagram represents one way an enzyme can be inhibited. Which statement explains the effect of an inhibitor on an enzyme? A. A substrate will be able to bond with the enzyme. B. The enzyme will likely be attacked by immune cells. C. The enzyme will be unable to produce more enzymes. D. A substrate will be unable to attach to the enzyme.
17
Four different nucleotides are used as building blocks of DNA
Four different nucleotides are used as building blocks of DNA. Which of the following can be used to distinguish one nucleotide from another? F. The nitrogenous base G. The shape of the deoxyribose sugar H. The length of the phosphate group J. The type of fatty acid
18
Lactose is found in milk products
Lactose is found in milk products. It is converted by the body into a usable form in a series of chemical reactions. The diagram shows the series of reactions that convert lactose into a usable form. If Enzyme 2 is denatured, the levels of which substance will increase? F. Lactose G. Galactose H. Galactose-1-phosphate J. Glucose-6-phosphate
19
Our next STAAR Review Session is Monday, April 8th
We will be covering Cell Processes including Cell Transport, Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
20
The complex carbohydrates pictured below are made by linking molecules of glucose. In all three complex carbohydrates, the subunits of glucose are bonded together differently. Because they have different structures, they most likely — A. contain different chemical elements B. form different proteins C. carry different nucleotides D. perform different functions
