Chapter 2 B Organic Chemistry
2
What is Organic Chemistry Biosynthesis: living things making substances Molecules made from Carbon, but it usually has Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. Carbon Dioxide is not an organic molecule.
3
Organic compounds: contain Carbon can be made by an organism Carbon has 4 valence e- can bond w/ up to 4 atoms can form single, double, triple bonds can form chains & rings
4
Carbon – the building block
5
4 kinds of Organic Compounds 1) Carbohydrates 2) Lipids 3) Proteins 4) Nucleic acids
6
Carbohydrates CH 2 O - Hydrated Carbon
7
carbohydrates = saccharides C(OH 2 ) hydrated Carbon 3 types of simple sugars 1. monosaccharides ex: ribose, glucose, fructose 2. disaccharides ex: sucrose, maltose, lactose 3. polysaccharide ex: starch, glycogen, cellulose
8
Starch an energy source stored by plants Glycogen an energy storage molecule in humans Cellulose makes plants strong isn’t digestible to most animals roughage (fiber) in diet
9
Dehydration Synthesis How are organic molecules made? dehydration – remove water synthesis – to make Dehydration Synthesis is “to make by removing water”

11
Hydrolysis How are organic molecules broken down? hydro – water lys – to break Hydrolysis is “to break by adding water”

13
Lipids (fats, waxes, cholesterol, oil, phospholipids) * made of fatty acids & glycerol * do not dissolve in H 2 O * contains most energy/ gram
14
Lipids Glycerol Molecule Glycerol (circled in red) and 3 Fatty Acid Chains http://biology.clc.uc.edu/graphics/bio104/ http://biology.clc.uc.edu/graphics/bio104/fat.jpg
15
Lipids A glycerol molecule connected to 3 fatty Acid chains.
16
Lipids can be * saturated with H solid at room temp ex: crisco, butter, cholesterol * unsaturated has C=C (double bonds) liquid at room temperature ex: olive oil
17
Saturated vs. Unsaturated http://biology.clc.uc.edu/graphics/bio104/fat.jpg
19
Phospholipids hydrophobic tail hydrophilic head
20
Phospholipids Cellular Membrane is composed of a Phospholipid bilayer
21
Proteins wide variety made of amino acids amine acid group group -NH 3 -COO amino acid
22
Building a protein
23
Amino Acids http://njms2.umdnj.edu/biochweb/education/bioweb/PreK2010/aminoacids.gif
24
Proteins amino acids linked by peptide bond forms polypeptide chain Critical for proteins to be functional 1.chain fold into 3D protein shape 2.sequence of amino acids determines the protein
25
Polypeptide Chain
26
Hemoglobin
27
Ribosome http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3tiv4YgRX1r9duat.jpg
28
Enzymes = biological catalyst Enzymes are proteins!! Enzymes allow reactions (rxn) to occur in living things with out dangerous energy levels Enzymes usually end in –ase Amylase Catalase Protease Lipase Cellulase Pepsin (but not always end in –ase)
29
Enzymes 1) proteins 2) highly specific 3) require energy 4) may require coenzymes 5) affected by heat, radiation, pH, chemicals 6) often work in series 7) have active sites
30
Enzyme Activity Lego Enzyme Animation
31
Enzyme lowers Activation Energy http://njms2.umdnj.edu/biochweb/education/bioweb/PreK2010/EnzymeActivationEnergy2.gif
32
Nucleic Acids
33
Nucleic Acids (DNA & RNA) found in the nucleus DNA material of heredity = genes structure determined by Watson & Crick, 1953 They stole it from Rosalind Strickland blueprint for making itself
34
DNA = double chain of nucleotides 1) sugar = deoxyribose 2) phosphate 3) base
35
DNA replication making 2 new DNA molecules from an old 1
36
RNA uracil instead of thymine ribose instead of deoxyribose
37
Not too painful, was it?
38
We have knocked this chapter out
39
Do I have bad breath??
