3 * Poly = many; -mer = part. A polymer is a large molecule consisting of many smaller sub-units bonded together called monomers * Monomers are covalently linked to one another through the removal of water (dehydration reaction) to form polymers.

4 What is a polymer? Polymer is a long molecule consists of a chain of similar building molecules (monomers) covalently bounded together. Polymers principles: Carbohydrates Carbohydrates Lipids Lipids Proteins Proteins Nucleic acids Nucleic acids

5 Q: How do monomers connect? A: By dehydration reaction One monomer provides a hydroxyl group One monomer provides a hydrogyn group Covalent Bond

6 Monomers Polymer Polymer Monomers By Dehydration Forms Covalent bonds By Hydration breaks Covalent bonds

7 Carbohydrates MonosaccharaidesDisaccharidesPolysaccharides 1. Carbohydrates:

8 Monosaccharaides Based on the location of C=O Aldoses C (C=O) at the end of C chain (e.g. Glucose). Ketoses C=O is within the C chain ( e.g. Fructose ). Based on the number of C in the skeleton Triose (3C) e.g. Glyceraldehy de Pentose (5C): e.g. Ribose. Hexose (6C): e.g. Glucose, Fructose and Galactose

9 The hydration reaction disassembles the covalent bonds in the polymer and convert it to small monomers. This reaction dominate the digestive process with the help of specific enzymes. THIS REACTION NEEDS WATER. It happens when H and OH (from the water) attaches where the bond used to be. Add water

10 10 The dehydration reaction convert the small monomers into one large polymer. THIS REACTION PROVIDES WATER. It happens when H atom from one monomers attaches with OH from another one to create water and new polymer.

11 Disaccharides Consisted of 2 monosaccharide molecules during a dehydration reaction. e.g. Sucrose (table sugar): consists of Glucose + Fructose.

12 Polysaccharides Storage Starch (inplants) Starch (in plants) consisted of thousands of  glucose molecules. Glycogen (in animals) consisted of thousands of glucose molecules. Structural Cellulose (in plants) consisted of thousands of β glucose molecules. Chitin (in insects ) N consisted of thousands of glucose molecules with a N atom in one end

13 β glucose molecules. It is consisted of β glucose molecules. “ Human cannot digest it, but some bacteria and protozoa can” It is the building material in insects. It is consisted of thousands of glucose molecules and an N atom at the end.

14 14 Consisted of few hundreds to few thousands of monosaccharaides Storage: provides sugar by hydrolysis Structural: building materials for the organism Cellulose (in Plants): It forms the micro-fibrils and cell wall in plants & it consisted of beta glucose molecules. Chitin It is the building material of the cuticle in insects. It consists of 1000s of glucose with N atom at the end. Surgical thread insects

15 *S*S tarch is a plant storage from of energy, easily hydrolyzed to glucose units *C*C ellulose is a fiber-like structural material - tough and insoluble - used in plant cell walls *G*G lycogen is a highly branched chain used by animals to store energy in muscles and the liver. *C*C hitin is a polysaccharide used as a structural material in arthropod exoskeleton and fungal cell walls.

16 Proteins is a polymer of amino acids “ there are 2o different amino acids”. The proteins are consisted of Hydrogen atom, carboxyl group, Amino acid and R group ( variable ) Amino acids are joined together with peptide bond by dehydration reaction. Side chain Amino group Carboxyl group CHR N H H C OHOHOHOH O

18 Amino Acids HydrophobicHydrophilicIonized the amino acids that have hydrophobic R groups (non- polar). the amino acids that have polar R groups, making them hydrophilic. the amino acids with functional groups that are charged (ionized) at cellular pH (7). So, some R groups are bases, others are acids.

20 Lipids do not form polymer 20 Lipids FatsPhospholipidssteroids store large amounts of energy major components of cell membranes include cholesterol and certain hormones In a fat, three fatty acids are joined to glycerol by an ester linkage, creating a triacylglycerol.

21 In a fat, three fatty acids are joined to glycerol by an ester linkage creating a triacylglycerol. Phospholipids have two fatty acids attached to glycerol and a phosphate group( Two tails and a head ) the tails are hydrophobic and the head is hydrophilic. Cholesterol form sex hormones and Cholesterol

22 1. Fats Saturated Un-saturated The Fatty acid components are saturated (there is no double bonds between the carbons. All C are linked with H. Thus, it is saturated with H  Most animal fats are saturated.  They are solid at room temperature.  Saturated fats-rich diet results in Atherosclerosis. These double bonds are formed by the removal of H atoms. They can be synthetically converted to saturated (solid) by adding H (Hydrogenation).  Most vegetable fats (oils) and fish fats are unsaturated.  They are liquid at room temperature.

23 there is no double bonds between the carbons “ Most animals Fats are saturated” And they are solid at the room temperature. The double bonds are formed by removing the H atoms. “ Most vegetables oils and fish oils are Un-saturated “ And they are liquid at room temperature.
