1
Warm-Up Suzy wanted to make sweet tea. She decided to test 5 different pitchers of tea with different amounts of sugar to see exactly how much sugar she should add to make the tea perfectly sweet. What is the independent variable? What is the dependant variable? What would be the control? What would be the controlled variables?
2
Biochemistry
3
What is an atom?
4
What is the atomic number? # of protons What is the atomic mass? # of protons + neutrons Usually, # protons and electrons are equal.
5
1 1 Hydrogen Protons Electrons
6
Carbon Protons Electrons Neutrons 6 6 6
7
Phosphorous Protons Electrons Neutrons 15
8
Now you try: 1.Oxygen 2.Nitrogen
9
Oxygen Protons Electrons Neutrons 888888
10
Nitrogen Protons Electrons Neutrons 777777
11
How do atoms interact with each other? through their electrons
12
Which electrons do you think atoms use to do their interacting? the electrons in the outermost shell aka VALENCE ELECTRONS
13
What do we call these interactions? bonds
14
There are 2 types of bonds IONIC – 1 atom gives away valence electrons to another COVALENT – both atoms share valence electrons
15
IONIC BOND NaCl Exchange of electrons
16
IONIC BOND NaCl
17
COVALENT BOND OO Sharing of electrons
18
COVALENT BOND O
19
Let’s look at some other covalent bonds
20
Water H 2 0 H O H
21
H N H H Ammonia NH 3
22
Carbon Dioxide CO 2 O C O
23
Molecule vs Compound A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically. A compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements. All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds. Molecular hydrogen (H 2 ), molecular oxygen (O 2 ) and molecular nitrogen (N 2 ) are not compounds because each is composed of a single element. Water (H 2 O), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and methane (CH 4 ) are compounds because each is made from more than one element. The smallest bit of each of these substances would be referred to as a molecule. For example, a single molecule of molecular hydrogen is made from two atoms of hydrogen while a single molecule of water is made from two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
24
Water makes up a large portion of our body. Ammonia is found in urine as a waste product of breaking down proteins. Carbon dioxide is a waste product that we exhale. These molecules are all found in the human body.
25
Biomolecules Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Nucleic acids
26
What is the purpose of eating food? to extract the organic compounds we need to carry out chemical reactions (breaking down of proteins, carbohydrates) in our body
27
What did you have for breakfast?
28
Carbohydrates Most abundant of the biomolecules Storage and transport of energy Sugar and starch Structural component (cellulose in plants)
29
Carbohydrates C,H,O hexagon shape
30
Proteins Large compounds made of amino acids joined by peptide bonds in a chain Structural components of animal cells includes enzymes that catalyze (speed up) reactions Needed for metabolism & building muscle
31
Proteins C,H,O,N Y shaped zig-zag
32
Lipids Fats, oils, waxes, & cholesterol Energy storage Structural component of cell membrane insulation
33
Types of Fats Unsaturated: liquid at room temperature has C=C double bonds plants (olive oil) Saturated: solid at room temperature no C=C double bonds saturated (full) with hydrogen animals (lard)
34
Lipids C,H,O long chain
35
Nucleic Acids made of nucleotides make up and store genetic material DNA RNA code for protein
36
C,H,O,N,P
37
Answer the following 1.If you wanted quick energy, which biomolecule would you ingest? 2.If you wanted to build muscle, which biomolecule would you ingest?
38
After we eat these biomolecules, how are they used in our bodies?
39
Biomolecules in our cells!
40
So what makes up these biomolecules?
41
Macromolecules big molecules that are made up of smaller molecules
42
A smaller unit of molecules or monomer combines with other monomers to make a large molecule or polymer. Mono means single Poly means many
43
ex: glucose (monomer) combine to form starch (polymer) glucose
44
ex: amino acids (monomer) combine to form protein (polymer)
45
ex: nucleotides (monomer) combine to form nucleic acids (polymer)
46
ex: fatty acid (monomer)and glycerol combine to form triglyceride (polymer)
47
Types of Fats Unsaturated: liquid at room temperature has C=C double bonds plants (olive oil) Saturated: solid at room temperature no C=C double bonds saturated (full) with hydrogen animals (lard)
48
Which are saturated or unsaturated?
49
What are trans fats? Unsaturated fats that have hydrogen added to make them more desirable, but are really bad for you. Trans fats raise your LDL (bad cholesterol).
50
You will be able to answer: 1.What is happening during a condensation reaction? 2.What is happening during a hydrolysis reaction?
51
Dehydration Synthesis and Hydrolysis
52
Dehydration synthesis reaction
54
What is happening during dehydration synthesis? Monomers combine to form polymers Water (H 2 O) molecules formed H2OH2O
55
Hydrolysis reaction
56
What’s happening during a hydrolysis reaction polymers break up into monomers Water (H 2 O) is used Hydro refers to water… lysis means to break apart H2OH2O
