BIOCHEMISTRY (Ch. 5) Organic molecules Organic molecules Carbon based moleculesCarbon based molecules Inorganic molecules Inorganic molecules Non-carbon based moleculesNon-carbon based molecules
3
Organic or Inorganic? O 2 O 2 NH 3 NH 3 C 6 H 12 O 6 C 6 H 12 O 6 CH 3 CH 3
4
4 categories of organic materials: Carbohydrates Carbohydrates Lipids Lipids Proteins Proteins Nucleic Acids Nucleic Acids
5
Carbon Compounds Why is carbon so common in living things? Why is carbon so common in living things? Carbon is a good “bonder”!! Carbon is a good “bonder”!!
6
Monomers and Polymers Monomers – 1 molecular units Monomers – 1 molecular units Polymers – monomers linked together into a long chain Polymers – monomers linked together into a long chain
7
Building Polymers Dehydration Synthesis Dehydration Synthesis Definition:Definition:
8
Breaking Polymers Hydrolysis Hydrolysis Definition:Definition:
9
Evaluate… 1. Explain the connection between a monomer and a polymer. What molecule is released during the construction of a polymer? What is this reaction called?
10
1) Carbohydrates Sugars C,H,O Store energy Hydrophilic (“water-loving”)
11
Monosaccharides Monomer of carbs (1 sugar molecule) simple sugars glucose, fructose, galactose
13
Disaccharides Double sugars Formed by dehydration synthesis Sucrose Lactose Maltose
14
Polysaccharides Giant polymers of linked monosaccharides Giant polymers Starch (plants) Glycogen (animals) Cellulose (“fiber”)
15
2) Lipids Hydrophobic (“water-fearing”) C,H,O Store energy Examples: Fats Oils Waxes Steroids
16
Chemistry of Fats Composed of: 3 fatty acids 1 glycerol molecule
17
saturated vs. unsaturated
18
Let’s Review Carbs & Lipids What is the difference between a monosaccharide and a disaccharide? Give an example of each. How do animals store excess glucose molecules? What property do lipids share? What are the parts of a fat molecule? What does the term unsaturated fat on a food label mean?
19
3) Proteins
20
Proteins -Composed of C, H, O, N, and sometimes S -monomers are amino acids
21
Structure of Amino Acid 20 different amino acids Each contain: Amino group (NH 2 ) Carboxyl group (COOH) Side group (R group)
22
Polypeptide Amino acids link together to make a polypeptide (i.e. a protein) * see p. 101 Peptide bond- Peptide bond Covalent bond between two amino acids Formed by dehydration synthesis See animation
23
Peptide bond
24
Protein Shape Yarn & Sweater example What influences protein shape? Sequence of amino acids Surrounding environment Denaturation- Protein unravels & loses shape
25
Enzymes- a type of protein Speed up chemical reactions (catalysts) i.e. Amylase (saliva)
27
Enzymes lower activation energy Activation Energy-
28
Substrate is what is changed Substrate Enzyme binds to substrate at the active site How Enzymes Work
