Happy Monday Buffs!! BELLWORK: WRITE DOWN ONLY WHAT THE QUESTION IS ASKING AND YOUR ANSWER…
2
Standard 9A – Compare the structures and functions of different types of biomolecules. Essential Question What part does basic chemistry play in the structure biomolecules?
3
Intro to Biochemistry *THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE…
4
Just as buildings are made from bricks, steel, glass, and wood, living things are made from chemical compounds. For this reason, to truly understand living things, we must also have an understanding of chemistry.
5
1. Biochemistry…The Basics Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space Atom: basic units of matter Molecule: two or more atoms bonded together Element: matter made of only one type of atom
6
Imagine going to an ice cream store. Let's say that they have 30 different flavors of ice cream. Those are elements, the things that I have available to build my dessert from. The smallest amount of ice cream that the store will sell to me is a scoop. This is an atom. If I want, I can put two or more scoops of ice cream together. This is a molecule. If my molecule has more than one flavor of ice cream, I can call it a compound. Atom Molecule/Compound
7
Elements we need to Recognize: C = Carbon H = Hydrogen O = Oxygen N = Nitrogen P = Phosphorus
8
Bonds, bonds, bonds! Molecules are atoms bonded together. The bond stores energy. When that bond is broken, energy is released. More bonds = More energy!!
9
How do bonds form and break?
10
2. Chemical Reactions Chemical reaction = the process by which atoms bond together or break apart. A chemical bond occurs when two or more elements react together to form a chemical compound (molecule). The compound is unique from its parent atoms.
11
Chemical equation: How scientists describe a chemical reaction. Reactants : what goes IN to the chemical reaction, left side of arrow Products : what is produced from the reaction, right side of arrow ( Reactants ) ( Products ) 2Na + Cl 2 2NaCl
12
There are several important types of reactions that occur everyday Photosynthesis Cellular Respiration
13
There are several important types of reactions that occur everyday
14
Cooking Batteries
15
There are several important types of reactions that occur everyday Detergents
16
3.Macromolecules A. Macromolecules = large molecules made from smaller molecules. B. Polymer (many parts) macromolecule made up of many smaller, repeating molecules. C. Monomer (one part) is a single unit which is bonded together to make polymers. The repeating structure Monomers make polymers Mono- One Poly- More than one
19
There are two types of reactions important to making monomers and polymers
20
1. Dehydration synthesis = polymers are formed by removing water.
21
2. Hydrolysis = breaking down polymers into monomers by the addition of H 2 O. Hydro=water Lysis=cut
22
4. Organic chemistry : the study of compounds that contain carbon atoms. Organic = contains carbon Inorganic = does NOT contain carbon
23
B. There are four types of organic compounds found in living things…
24
1. Carbohydrates
25
B. 2. Lipids
26
B. 3. Proteins
27
4. Nucleic Acids
