Biomolecules Lecture Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids
2
You are what you eat
3
Carbohydrates
4
Monosaccharides 4 Examples: 1. Glucose 2. Fructose 3. Ribose 4. Deoxyribose
5
Glucose Structure
6
Function of Glucose
7
Fructose Structure
8
Function of Fructose Used by sperm cells as source of energy Converted to glucose and used as source of energy
9
Structure of Ribose and Deoxyribose deoxyribose
10
Function of Ribose Part of RNA nucleotides and ATP RNA Nucleotide RNA
11
Function of Ribose Part of RNA nucleotides and ATP ATP
12
Function of Deoxyribose Part of DNA nucleotides
13
Disaccharides 3 examples: 1.Sucrose 2. Lactose 3. Maltose
14
Carbohydrate Synthesis/Hydrolysis
15
Carbohydrate Structure Maltose Glucose + Glucose
16
Sucrose Structure
17
Sucrose Function Once it is broken down, it is used as a source of energy
18
Lactose
19
Maltose

How sweet is sweet? We perceive a sweet taste when a chemical binds to the sweet receptor on the tongue –The structure of a compound determines how well it fits into a receptor –The more strongly the chemical binds to the receptor, the sweeter it is perceived to be –The chemical can be sugar or another compound, such as aspartame
22
Polysaccharides 3 examples: 1.Glycogen 2.Starch 3.Cellulose
26
G LYCOGEN C ELLULOSE S TARCH

28
Lipids 3 types of lipids: 1. Triglycerides (fats & oils) 2. Phospholipids 3. Steroids
29
Lipids Fats and oils are composed of 2 types of subunits: glycerol and fatty acids. Fats and oils are composed of 2 types of subunits: glycerol and fatty acids.
30
Examples of Trigylcerides
31
Triglyceride
33
Saturated Fats
34
Unsaturated Fats
35
Trans Fats
36
Phospholipids
38
Steroids 1 2 3 4
39
Examples of Steroids
40
Proteins Proteins are made up of amino acids linked together
41
Proteins OHOH
42
Proteins
44
Examples of Amino Acids
46
Protein Structure 46 The function of a protein is a result of its 3-D structure
47
Protein Structure
48
Lactase
49
Protein Structure
50
Protein Movement
51
Protein Transport
52
LE 5-13c ATP
53
Protein Buffers Help maintain pH in our body
54
Protein Receptors Can Activate Molecules Messenger molecule Receptor Activated molecule
55
Protein Control
56
Protein Defense
57
Protein Enzymes
58
Enzyme Active Site
60
DNA: 1.Stores genetic code. That is it stores all of the “recipes” for making the proteins our body needs (cookbook) 2.Controls when cells divide 3.Regulates metabolism (when enzymes are made)
61
Genes: Instructions for making 1 protein (1 “recipe”)
62
RNA Structure
64
RNA Function 1. Involved in protein synthesis 2. Can function as enzymes (called ribozymes)
65
mRNA Has rewritten instructions for making proteins (rewritten “recipe”) tRNA Carries amino acids (ingredients) as per instructions on mRNA rRNA Holds mRNA and tRNA so that amino acids can be linked as per original “recipe” on DNA (mixing bowl)
66
DNA Nucleotide Phosphate Group Sugar Nitrogenous Base
67
DNA Nucleotide
70
RNA Structure
71
DNA vs RNA
72
DNA and RNA
73
RNA
