1
Starter What are the differences between a dehydration and hydrolysis reaction? What are the properties that make water so important? What are the 4 major macromolecules? What are the two parts to a chemical reaction? Read 5.2 Concept Check 1 and 3
2
Starter How do you differentiate between a dehydration and hydrolysis reaction? Name the 4 major macromolecules.
3
Starter What do you need to know for each macromolecule? What are the names of the people you sit with? What are the common elements found in the macromolecules?
4
Starter How do animals store sugar? What does hydrophobic mean?
5
Starter What are enzymes and what do they do? What is the monomer of a protein? What holds two of those monomers together?
6
What are Macromolecules? Large Molecules formed by joining many subunits together. – Polymers Built by Dehydration Synthesis – Water Out Broken by Hydrolysis – Water In
8
Macromolecules
9
What you need to know… For each Macromolecule – Function – Structure – Example(s)
10
Types of Organic Macromolecules Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids Common Elements found in each: – C, H, N, O, P, S
11
Carbohydrates -- Function Main fuel supply for cellular work
12
Carbohydrate Structure Made of sugar molecules – Composed of Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen
13
Examples of Carbohydrates Monosaccharides – simple sugars – 1 sugar unit – Ex: glucose Disaccharides – double sugar – 2 monosaccharides – Ex: Sucrose Polysaccharides – complex carbohydrate – Ex: starch
14
Glucose
15
Sucrose
16
Starch
17
Stored Sugar Organisms break sugars down – Use what they need – Store what they don’t Animals – Glycogen Plants – Starch
18
Lipids -- Function Hydrophobic Not a true polymer Function – Energy Storage – Cell Membrane Structure
19
Lipid Structure C, H, O General Fat structure 3 carbon backbone attached to three fatty acids – Saturated – all three fatty acids chains have maximum number of Hydrogen atoms Butter – Unsaturated – contain less than the maximum number of hydrogen atoms in one or more of its fatty acid chains fruits
22
Examples of Lipids Steroids – Estrogen – Testosterone – Cholesterol Fats Oils
24
Proteins -- Function Responsible for almost all day-to-day functioning of organisms Structural (bones, skin, hair, nails, muscle) Enzymes – Speed up chemical reactions Long-term nutrient storage
25
Protein Structure Made up of Amino Acids – Linked together by peptide bonds Polypeptide Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen Sulfur
27
What makes Proteins unique? All proteins are the same EXCEPT – The R-Group Determines the proteins function
28
Nucleic Acids - Function 1.Stores Genetic Information 2.Directs protein synthesis
29
Nucleic Acids -- Structure C, H, O, N and P Made of nucleotides (monomer) – Sugar, phosphate, and base (A, T, G, C, U) Double Helix
31
Examples of Nucleic Acids Deoxyr ibonucleic Acid – DNA Ribonucleic Acid RNA
