7
Proteins and Fats Proteins serve many functions in an organism: Structural-collagen
8

11
Proteins and Fats All proteins, regardless of the source, animal, plant, fungal or bacterial, are all made from the same 20 amino acids.
12
Proteins and Fats All proteins, regardless of the source, animal, plant, fungal or bacterial, are all made from the same 20 amino acids. Amino acids contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and NITROGEN
13
Proteins and Fats Amino Acid Structure All amino acids have the following common structure.
14
Proteins and Fats Amino Acid Structure All amino acids have the following common structure.
15
Proteins and Fats Amino Acid Structure The side group is what makes each amino acid unique.
16
Proteins and Fats
17
Proteins are joined together by the DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS REACTION.
18
Proteins and Fats How can 20 amino acids make all the proteins found in living organisms?
19
Proteins and Fats How can 20 amino acids make all the proteins found in living organisms? Different combinations and lengths (Letters of the alphabet)
20
Proteins and Fats Each amino acid is like a letter in the alphabet, the change of one amino acid can change the shape of the protein.
21
Proteins and Fats This is seen in hemoglobin where one acid change results in Sickle Cell Anemia.
22
Proteins and Fats Proteins have a specific three dimensional shape which is important in their biological role.
23
Proteins and Fats
24
The shape of a protein is influenced by temperature and pH. Out side of a specific range the protein breaks down, its DENATURED.
25
Proteins and Fats
26
What are some examples of fats?
27
Proteins and Fats What are some examples of fats? Animal Fat
28
Proteins and Fats What are some examples of fats? Plant Fat
29
Proteins and Fats What are some examples of fats? Lard
30
Proteins and Fats Fats serve two functions in an organism: Storage of excess energy reserves
31
Proteins and Fats Fats serve two functions in an organism: Storage of excess energy reserves Insulation whale blubber
32
Proteins and Fats Fats serve three functions in an organism: Storage of excess energy reserves Insulation whale blubber Protection
33
Proteins and Fats All lipids, regardless of the source, animal, plant, fungal or bacterial, are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They are nonpolar (do not dissolve in water)
34
Proteins and Fats All lipids, regardless of the source, animal, plant, fungal or bacterial, are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They are made of two molecules: glycerol
35
Proteins and Fats All lipids, regardless of the source, animal, plant, fungal or bacterial, are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They are made of two molecules: glycerol & fatty acids
36
Proteins and Fats Glycerol Structure
37
Proteins and Fats Fatty Acid Structure They can exist as two types, saturated and unsaturated.
38
Proteins and Fats Fatty Acid Structure They can exist as two types, saturated and unsaturated. They can range from 12 to 22 carbons in length.
39
Proteins and Fats Triglycerides are the most common fats and are composed of 1 glycerol and three fatty acid molecules.
40
Proteins and Fats Triglycerides are the most common fats and are composed of 1 glycerol and three fatty acid molecules. Guess what reaction combines them.
41
Proteins and Fats Triglycerides are the most common fats and are composed of 1 glycerol and three fatty acid molecules. Guess what reaction combines them. DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS
42
Proteins and Fats
43
Phospholipids are another type of fat and make up cell membranes.
