ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids
2
CARBOHYDRATES
3
C a r b o h y d r a t e Contains Carbon Same ratio of Hydrogen:Oxygen as H 2 O, 2:1 Made up of the elements: CARBON HYDROGEN OXYGEN
4
Simple Sugars-monomers MONOSACCHARIDES C 6 H 12 O 6 3 Monosaccharides: Glucose Fructose Galactose
5
MONOSACCHARIDES
6
*You need to be able to draw glucose
8
Double Sugars-polymers DISACCHARIDES C 12 H 22 O 11 3 Disaccharides: Sucrose Lactose Maltose
9
SUCROSE Common table sugar Made by combining glucose & fructose
10
LACTOSE Major sugar in milk Made by combining glucose & galactose
11
MALTOSE Product of starch digestion Made by combining glucose & glucose
12
How are disaccharides made? Dehydration Synthesis (Condensation Reaction) —2 monomers combine & you get a polymer + water. Hydrolysis —break-up of polymer to get monomers… just add water. (reverse of above)
13
DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS
14
HYDROLYSIS
15
Complex Sugars-polymers POLYSACCHARIDES Many sugars…long chains 3 Polysaccharides: Starch Cellulose Glycogen
16
STARCH Plants store it as food (energy)
17
CELLULOSE Plant fiber
18
GLYCOGEN Animals store it as food energy in liver and muscles
20
Carbohydrate Function Used by cells to store and release energy
21
Carbohydrate Examples
23
LIPIDS
24
Made up of the elements: CARBON HYDROGEN OXYGEN
25
MONOMERS 1 Glycerol 3 Fatty Acids
26
POLYMERS COMMON NAMES Fats Oils Waxes Steroids (Cholesterol)
27
LIPID VARIATIONS Saturated – all single bonds (the fatty acids contain the maximum possible number of H atoms) Unsaturated – 1 double bond (more H atoms can bond) Polyunsaturated – multiple double bonds
31
FUNCTIONS OF LIPIDS Used to store energy Biological membranes & waterproof coverings Hormones (chemical messengers, regulators)
32
EXAMPLES OF LIPIDS
33
NUCLEIC ACIDS
34
Made up of the elements: CARBON HYDROGEN OXYGEN NITROGEN PHOSPHORUS
35
MONOMERS Nucleotides Sugar Phosphate Base
36
POLYMERS Deoxyribonucleic Acid DNA Ribonucleic Acid RNA
37
FUNCTIONS Genetic Code
38
PROTEINS
39
Made up of the elements: CARBON HYDROGEN OXYGEN NITROGEN
40
Protein Facts Protein = Greek for primary or first Most diverse and complex macromolecule Makes up about 50% of our body weight Each has a unique structure and function
41
MONOMERS Amino Acids There are 20 amino acids. If you change the order they are arranged in, you produce different proteins with different functions.
42
POLYMERS Polypeptides Many amino acids bonded together Amino Acids Polypeptide
43
Parts of an Amino Acid Central Carbon (C) Hydrogen (H) Amino Group (NH 2 ) Carboxyl Group (COOH) Side Group (R) Different for every amino acid
44
20 Types of Amino Acids
46
Dehydration Synthesis (Condensation Reaction) How amino acids are put together into a polypeptide (a) Dehydration Synthesis (Condensation Reaction)
47
Hydrolysis Reaction How polypeptides are broken down into amino acids
49
Protein Functions 1. Structure Give support and shape Collagen and Elastin – skin, cartilage, tendons and ligaments Keratin – hair, horns, feathers, nails
50
Protein Functions 2.Transport 2.Move other molecules Hemoglobin and Myoglobin – transport oxygen
51
Protein Functions 3.Motion Allow movement Actin and Myosin – contract muscles
52
Protein Functions 4.Defense 4.Protect against disease Antibodies – fight off foreign bacteria
53
Protein Functions 5.Storage 5.Store nutrients Ovalbumin – protein in egg whites Caesin – protein in milk
54
Protein Functions 6.Signal (hormones) Regulate body functions Insulin and Glucagon – regulate blood glucose levels
55
Protein Functions 7. Enzymes Proteins that speed up chemical reactions Amylase – breaks down starch (polysaccharide) Lipases – breaks down fats (lipids) Protease – breaks down proteins
56
Enzymes Proteins that act as catalysts in chemical reactions Catalyst – helps speed up a chemical reaction Without enzymes chemical reaction would not occur fast enough to sustain life.
57
Enzyme Terminology Substrate – molecule that is going to chemically react; what an enzyme will work on. Active Site – specific shape on an enzyme that binds a specific substrate Product – what is made after the reaction
58
How Enzymes Work ENZYMES ARE REUSABLE! They can work over and over to catalyze reactions.
60
How Enzymes Work ENZYMES ARE SPECIFIC! Each enzyme has an active site that fits perfectly with its substrate.
62
How Enzymes Work ENZYMES CAN DENATURE (CHANGE SHAPE) IN HARSH CONDITIONS! Each enzyme has an optimal pH and temperature.
63
How Enzymes Work ENZYMES CATALYZE REACTIONS! Enzymes lower the amount of energy needed to get a reaction started (activation energy).
64
Activation Energy The energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur High when no enzyme is present Low when an enzyme speeds up the reaction
69
Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity pH Temperature Concentration
70
CALORIES The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 ml of water by 1 o C Measurement of energy content in food
71
CALORIES 1g of fat = 9 calories 1g of carb/protein = 4 calories Needs determined by: Sex, age, body mass, physical activity What happens if you eat more calories than your body burns?
