Biological Molecules Revised 8/30/2006
2
Compounds of Life Four Groups Carbohydrates Carbohydrates Lipids Lipids Nucleic Acids Nucleic Acids Proteins Proteins
3
Compounds of Life Sugars Fatty Acids Nucleotides Amino Acids CarbohydratesLipids/membranes Nucleic Acids Proteins
4
Carbohydrates Sugars store energy in chemical bonds Organisms break bonds to release energy Contain C,H and O. Ratio 1:2:1.
5
Monosaccharides Glucose – Plants Galactose - Milk Fructose - Fruits
8
Galactose
9
Glucose Ring
10
Galactose
11
Ribose Sugar of RNA D because the CH 2 OH Group is outside the ring
12
Deoxyribose Sugar of DNA
13
Carbon to carbon single bond Monomers have a double bond The bond breaks and chain is formed
14
Polymer Examples Polyethylene plastic bottles, bags and toys Polypropylene indoor-outdoor carpeting, molded parts (not heart valves) Polyvinyl chloride vinyl fences, PVC pipes etc. Teflon cooking utensil coating, artificial joints and electrical insulation Polystyrene toys, Styrofoam and simulated wood furniture HOW bout’ that????
18
Sucrose
19
Lactose
20
Maltose Two D-glucose units
27
Lipids Glycerol + 3 Fatty Acids
29
Saturated Fats Single Bonds on Fatty Acid chain palmitic acid
30
No double bonds present Carbon chain up to 24 in length Dietary effect is increase in blood cholesterol level
31
Monosaturated Fats One Double Bond on Fatty Acid Chain Oleic Acid
32
Contain up to 24 carbon atoms One double is present in the carbon chain Dietary effect is little change in blood cholesterol level
33
Polyunsaturated Fats Many Double Bonds on Fatty Acid Chain Linoleic Acid
34
Carbon chain length up to 24 2 or more double bonds present Dietary effect is decrease in blood cholesterol level
35
Hydrophobic HydrophilicPhospholipids polar (water loving) two non-polar (water fearing)
36
Phospholipid Bilayer Aligned tail to tail. Hydrophobic region within membrane. Hydrophilic heads on the inner and outer surfaces of the membrane.
37
DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid Genetic Code
38
3-D Structure
39
Nucleotide Deoxyribose (sugar) Phosphoric Acid Nitrogen bases Adenine Adenine Thymine Thymine Guanine Guanine Cytosine Cytosine

42
20 Amino Acids
43
Amino Acids
44
Hydrophobic Hydrophilic
45
Negative Charge
46
Positive Charge
47
Uncharged Polar
48
Nonpolar
49
