1 Biomolecules Biologically important molecules Organic Compounds- made mostly of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen –Make incredible shapes Polymers- large molecules made up of repeated units of smaller molecules called monomers

2 HH H H C Structural formulaBall-and-stick model Space-filling model Models of Methane

3 Carbohydrates Sugars Monomer =(CH 2 O)n Monosaccharides:Glucose Oligosaccharides: Sucrose Polysaccharides: Cellulose Energy storage and structure

4 glucose fructose sucrose + H 2 O

5 Cellulose chains Starch chain

6 cellulose amylose (a starch) glycogen

7 Lipids Fats and oils Monomer = CH 2 Fats 1,2 or 3 fatty acids attached to glycerol Sterols- Cholesterol, Steroids Waxes- Beeswax Used for waterproofing, insulation and cell membranes

8 Figure 2.21c Page 29

9 stearic acid oleic acid linolenic acid

10 three fatty-acid tails glycerol triglyceride + 3H 2 0

12 hydrophobic tails hydrophilic head

13 two hydrophobic tails hydrophilic head cell membrane section one layer of lipids one layer of lipids

14 Sterol backbone Cholesterol

15 Proteins Monomer= Amino Acid Enzymes- Catalyze metabolic reactions Transport proteins- move things across membranes Structural proteins-keep the structure of cells

16 Amino group (basic) Carboxyl group (acidic) R group (20 kinds with distinct properties)

17 alanine (ala) valine (val) tryptophan (trp) methionine (met) proline (pro)

18 Linear primary structure one peptide group

19 Tertiary structure Secondary structure

20 Tertiary structure

21 heme group helically coiled globin molecule alpha chain beta chainalpha chain beta chain

23 Nucleic Acids Monomer: Nucleotide –ATP is a Nucleotide Molecules of inheritance: hold the code for how to make proteins Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid- DNA Ribose Nucleic Acid- RNA

24 nitrogen- containing base Ball-and-stick model of ATP 3 phosphate groups sugar

25 Adenine (a base) Thymine GuanineCytosine phosphate group sugar (deoxyribose)

26 Single strand of DNA or RNA sugar phosphate connected by covalent bond base

27 hydrogen bonding between bases covalent bonding in carbon backbone
