2 Organic Molecules: Organic Molecules: 2.3 Chemical compounds containing Carbon

3 What are we made of? Carbon (C) Hydrogen (H) Oxygen (O) Nitrogen (N) Phosphorous (P) (*Sulfur (S), Calcium (Ca), Potassium (K))

4 Atoms Molecules Macromolecules Food Metabolism Cells Metabolism Building Blocks

5 Vocabulary Check Explain the difference between monomers and polymers based on the picture to the right!

6 Organic Molecules Carbohydrates (sugars) Proteins Lipids(fats) Nucleic Acids (DNA & RNA)

7 Carbohydrates (Sugars) 2:1 ratio between Hydrogen and Oxygen. (CH 2 O) Monomer = Monosaccharides Monosaccharides (simple sugars) C 6 H 12 O 6 glucose, fructose, and galactose Disaccharides (double sugars) sucrose and lactose Polysaccharides (complex sugars) starch, cellulose, and glycogen

9 Carbohydrate Functions Quick energy foods (1 gram contains 4 calories of energy): glucose, sucrose, and fructose Storage (starch in plants, glycogen in animals) Structure (cellulose and chitin)

10 Food Sources for Carbohydrates

11 Protein Monomer = amino acids. Each amino acid contains an NH 2 or amino group and a CO 2 H or carboxyl group

12 Examples Actin/ Myosin Hemoglobin Antibodies Enzymes: amylase, protease

13 Protein Functions Movement: Makes up muscle tissue (actin and myosin). Transport: Carries oxygen in organisms (hemoglobin). Immunity: Helps fight off foreign invaders (antibodies). Enzymes: Speed up chemical reactions (amylase and trypsin). Energy source (1 gram = 4 cal of energy).

14 Food Sources of Protein

15 Lipids Monomer= Fatty Acid Examples: Fats, Steroids, Cholesterol, and Wax. They are found surrounding internal organs, in each cell membrane, and clogging arteries and veins.

16 Main Types of Fats Saturated: No double bonds between the carbons Solid at room temperature Found mostly in animals. Unsaturated: Double bonds between some of the carbons Liquid at room temperature Found mostly in plants

17 Lipid Functions High Energy food. 1 gram contains 9 cal of energy. Protects vital organs Insulates the body Stores food for later use

18 Food Sources for Fats

19 Energy Review

20 Nucleic Acids Monomer = nucleotides Examples are: DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (Ribonucleic acid).

21 Nucleic Acid Comparison DNA Double Helix ( twisted ladder) Contains the bases A, T, C, & G Contains the code for the bodies proteins RNA Single strand Contains the bases A, U, C, & G Carries the code for a protein, transfers amino acids to ribosomes.

23 Monomers Build Polymers

26 How Organic Compounds are Formed and Destroyed Dehydration Synthesis Hydrolysis

27 Dehydration Synthesis The combination of two monomers (building blocks) using enzymes and losing water.

28 Hydrolysis The process of breaking down a polymer (large organic molecule) into its sub units using enzymes and water.
