Carbon and life: Organic Chemistry
2
Organic Chemistry is scary
3
Carbon atom
4
C
5
Methane Ethane Ethene (ethylene) Hydrocarbons
6
C H High energy bond Carbon - Hydrogen
7
Macromolecules *proteins *nucleic acids *carbohydrates *Lipids 4 Types
8
Macromolecules *proteins *nucleic acids *carbohydrates *Lipids 4 Types polymers
9
Polymer Chemistry monomers (individual) polymer (joined)
10
Momomers Polymer
11
Making and breaking the bonds
12
Short polymer Unlinked monomer Dehydration removes a water molecule, forming a new bond Longer polymer Making the bond dehydration
13
Hydrolysis adds a water molecule, breaking a bond Breaking the bond hydrolysis
14
Polymers Polymer bonds involve water
15
Kangaroo Rat Survives on metabolic water
16
Protein Monomers = amino acids Polymer = protein
17
Protein amino acids
18
Protein 20 amino acids
19
Protein Polymer formation Dehydration reaction
20
Proteins are long chains of amino acids
21
Protein 20 amino acids
22
A ribbon model Groove A space-filling model Protein function is determined by its shape.
23
Protein shape is determined by its amino acids.
26

Global Warming Coral “bleaching”
28
Nucleic Acids Monomers = nucleotides Polymer = DNA, RNA
29
Nucleic Acids Nucleotide (monomer) 5 bases
