1. Biomolecules: You are what you eat
Obj.: B.9A: Students will be able to compare the structure and function of biomolecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids

2. Carbon
Carbon: it is called the building block life because carbon atoms are the basis of most molecules that make up living things.
Carbon is found nearly everywhere!

3. What happens to the food you eat?
Food (made of biomolecules) gets broken down into its basic building blocks or monomers.
Then, it is absorbed into the blood from the small intestines.
Lastly, it is taken up by the trillions of cells in your body to be converted into energy (ATP) or building materials.
mitochondria

4. Definitions:
Biomolecules: any molecule that is found in living things.
Monomer: a molecule that binds to other molecules to make polymers.
Polymer: A large molecule that is made up of smaller molecules called monomers.

5. Element

6. Essential Elements of Life:
Carbon
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Phosphorus
Which is known as the building block of life?

7. 4 Types of Biomolecules or Macromolecules:
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Nucleic Acids
We eat to produce ATP and building materials!

8. Function: source of energy Examples: sugar, rice, apples, bread
Carbohydrates
Made up of C,H,O
Function: source of energy
Examples: sugar, rice, apples, bread
Polymer: polysaccharide (carbohydrates)
Monomer: monosaccharide
Monosaccharide

9. Lipids
Made of C,H,O
Function: Store energy
Examples: wax, oil, butter, cholesterol
Structure: 1 glycerol
and 3 fatty acids

10. Proteins
Made of C,H,O,N
Function: Building and repairing cells, speeds up or slows down chemical reactions
Examples: meat/muscle, hair, nails, enzymes
Polymer: Polypeptide (proteins)
Monomer: amino acid

11. Enzymes
Proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the cell (catalysts).
Catabolism - breaking molecules
Anabolism – making molecules

12. Nucleic Acids Made of C,H,O,N,P
Function: Store genetic information, determines physical appearance
Example: DNA, RNA, ATP (energy)
Polymer: nucleic acids
Monomer: nucleotides
