CompoundsCARBON organic Compounds that contain CARBON are called organic. Macromoleculesorganic molecules Macromolecules are large organic molecules. copyright cmassengale2

Carbon4 electrons Carbon has 4 electrons in outer shell. Carboncovalent bonds 4 Carbon can form covalent bonds with as many as 4 other atoms (elements). C, H, O or N Usually with C, H, O or N. Example:CH 4 (methane) copyright cmassengale3

Large organic molecules. POLYMERS Also called POLYMERS. MONOMERS Made up of smaller “building blocks” called MONOMERS. Examples: 1. Carbohydrates 2. Lipids 3. Proteins 4. Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) copyright cmassengale4

Monosaccharide: one sugar unit Examples:glucose ( Examples:glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 )deoxyriboseriboseFructoseGalactose copyright cmassengale11 glucose
12
Disaccharide: two sugar unit Examples: ◦ Sucrose (glucose+fructose) ◦ Lactose (glucose+galactose) ◦ Maltose (glucose+glucose) copyright cmassengale12 glucoseglucose
13
Polysaccharide: many sugar units Examples:starch (bread, potatoes) glycogen (beef muscle) cellulose (lettuce, corn) copyright cmassengale13 glucoseglucose glucoseglucose glucoseglucose glucoseglucose cellulose

not soluble in water General term for compounds which are not soluble in water. are soluble in hydrophobic solvents Lipids are soluble in hydrophobic solvents. Remember:“stores the most energy” Remember: “stores the most energy” Examples:1. Fats 2. Phospholipids 3. Oils 4. Waxes 5. Steroid hormones 6. Triglycerides copyright cmassengale15
16
Six functions of lipids: 1.Long term energy storage 2.Protection against heat loss (insulation) 3.Protection against physical shock 4.Protection against water loss 5.Chemical messengers (hormones) 6.Major component of membranes (phospholipids) copyright cmassengale16

fatty acids There are two kinds of fatty acids you may see these on food labels: 1.Saturated fatty acids: no double bonds (bad) 2.Unsaturated fatty acids: double bonds (good) copyright cmassengale18 O C-CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 3 = saturated O C-CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 -CH =CH-CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 - CH 3 = unsaturated

peptide bonds polypeptides Amino acids (20 different kinds of aa) bonded together by peptide bonds (polypeptides). Six functions of proteins: 1.Storage:albumin (egg white) 2.Transport: hemoglobin 3.Regulatory:hormones 4.Movement:muscles 5.Structural:membranes, hair, nails 6.Enzymes:cellular reactions copyright cmassengale20

Four levels of protein structure: A.Primary Structure B.Secondary Structure C.Tertiary Structure D.Quaternary Structure copyright cmassengale21
22
peptide bonds (straight chains) Amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds (straight chains) copyright cmassengale22 aa1aa2aa3aa4aa5aa6 Peptide Bonds Amino Acids (aa)
23
primary structurecoilspleats hydrogen bonds 3-dimensional folding arrangement of a primary structure into coils and pleats held together by hydrogen bonds. Two examples: copyright cmassengale23 Alpha Helix Beta Pleated Sheet Hydrogen Bonds
24
Secondary structuresbentfolded more complex 3-D arrangement Secondary structures bent and folded into a more complex 3-D arrangement of linked polypeptides Bonds: H-bonds, ionic, disulfide bridges (S-S) “subunit”. Call a “subunit”. copyright cmassengale24 Alpha Helix Beta Pleated Sheet
25
Composed of 2 or more “subunits” Globular in shape Form in Aqueous environments enzymes (hemoglobin) Example: enzymes (hemoglobin) copyright cmassengale25 subunits

Two types: a. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA- double helix) b. Ribonucleic acid (RNA-single strand) b. Ribonucleic acid (RNA-single strand) Nucleic acids nucleotides dehydration synthesis Nucleic acids are composed of long chains of nucleotides linked by dehydration synthesis. copyright cmassengale27
