Biochemistry!!!! Chapter 3
2
Organic Chem. Review – What element is in most organic compounds?
CARBON How many valence electrons does carbon have? Four What type of bonds can carbon have? Single, double or triple bonds 4 essential elements to life: Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen
4
Building Blocks of Organic Molecules
Monomer - Simple molecule Able to attach to other monomers to form polymers Polymer - Large molecule composed of smaller monomers Draw picture
5
Macromolecule - Large polymers Important 4 macromolecules: Carbohydrates (starch) Lipids Proteins Nucleic acids
6
Carbohydrates Carbohydrate – Composed of C, H, and O
Usually in a 1:2:1 ratio Animals Short term energy use (stored as glycogen) Stored in liver / muscles ready for use Plants Glucose stored as starch (ex: potatoes) Cellulose – straight chains of glucose used for structure
7
Cellulose – plant structure
8
Carbohydrates Monosaccharide's Examples: “One” “sugar”
Monomer of a carbohydrate Examples: Glucose Fructose (from fruits) Galactose (in milk)
9
Carbohydrates What are disaccharides? Means “Two” “Sugars”
two sugars join to form a new sugar Example: Glucose + fructose = sucrose
10
Carbohydrates What are polysaccharides? Means “many” “sugars”
Carbs. Made with more than three sugars
11
Carbohydrates - Glycogen
12
Carbohydrates Isomers – C6H12O6
same chemical formula, different structure C6H12O6 12
13
Warm Up 10-8 What does monosaccharide mean?
What is the name of the three monomers of a carbohydrate? How many warm ups do you have?
14
Lipids Lipids - Large non-polar organic molecules
Do not dissolve in water Examples fats, oils, lipids, steroids, wax and pigments Function: Higher number of C-H bonds than carbs = more energy Long term energy storage Cushions organs, warmth
15
Warm Up 10-09 What is the function of lipids? Are they polar or non-polar? Get out assignment from yesterday Seeds – plant (hold on for directions)
16
Warm UP 10-13 What are three examples of lipids?
17
Lipids Phospholipids Fatty acids that compose most cell membranes
Have a phosphate attached to glycerol Two fatty acid “tails” and a phosphate “head” Tail is hydrophobic and head is hydrophilic
18
Lipids So if we mixed phospholipids with water, how would they arrange?
19
Lipids Fatty acids - Make up most lipids Structure:
Long carbon chains – a carboxyl head Carbon chain = non-polar = hydrophobic Carboxyl head = polar = hydrophilic
20
Lipids Triglyceride - How most fats exist in body and in food One molecule of glycerol and three chains of fatty acids (carbon chains)
21
Book Assignment – pg 60 Please read pages 55 – 60 and answer the following questions: #1-9 (skip #4 and #6) Please answer on a separate sheet of paper (you’re turning this in) Due Friday!!!
22
Warm Up 10-15 Complete the first page of the worksheet.
Check on your seeds? Any growth? Do they need water?
23
Lipids - Saturated vs. unsaturated fatty acids
Usually SOLID at room temp Single bonds creates straight chains = less room around each acid makes them soild Butter, red meat The bad fats – you don’t really need them (artery cloggers)
24
Lipids - Saturated vs. unsaturated fatty acids
Usually LIQUID at room temp Double bonds creates kinked chains = more room to “flow” – usually liquids Plant oils (vegetable oil etc.) Good fats – better for your health
26
Lipids
28
Warm Up 10-15 Compare / contrast lipids and proteins when it comes to energy use.
29
Lipids Wax Waterproof Protective layer in plants in animals Ear wax
30
Lipids Steroid Compose many hormones Made of four fused rings
Testosterone Estrogen Cholesterol
31
Lipids Phospholipid molecule
Lipid bylayer
32
Nucleic Acid Nucleic acid -
Organic molecules that transfer / store important cell info What are the two nucleic acids? DNA and RNA Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Directs cell activities and stores info for cell Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) info for protein production
33
Nucleic Acid Nucleotide Monomer of DNA and RNA
Made up of phosphate, sugar and nitrogen base
34
Proteins Protein Organic compounds composed mostly of C, H, O and N
Function: Many body tissues: hair, finger nails, blood, skin, muscles, etc Also hormones and enzymes Insulin Human growth hormone
35
Proteins What are the building blocks of proteins? Amino acids
20 different AA’s – see them 4 basic parts: Functional Group – gives AA it’s properties / shape Amino Group (-NH2) Carboxyl group (-COOH) Hydrogen (H) Functional group Amino group Carboxyl group
36
Amino Acids 20 different structures
Go back 20 different structures 64 possible nitrogenous base combinations
37
Proteins What holds proteins together? Peptide bonds
Covalent bond linking AA (throu. condensation rxn.) Polypeptide - Three or more bonded AA’s
38
Proteins - Enzymes Enzyme Biological catalysts – made of protein
Substrate Reactant being changed Active site Place on enzyme where reaction occurs
39
Proteins - Enzymes Enzyme A
A
40
Proteins
41
How do they all bond!?!? Condensation reactions!!
Condensation (dehydration) reactions – Condensation reaction Chemical reaction that links polymers Each time a monomer is added, water is released Glucose + fructose sucrose Take a water out Building monomers up
42
Condensation Reaction
Condensation reaction creating a polysaccharide (carbohydrate)
43
Condensation Reaction
45
How do they break down? Hydrolysis
Process of adding water molecules to more complex molecules (polymers) in order to break them down into simpler molecules (monomers). Hydrolysis reactions – Putting a water back in Breaking polymers down Hydrolysis Chemical reaction that break down polymers Water used to break down polymer

The End

Carbohydrate Summary:
Answer the following: 1. What elements are in carbohydrates? 2. What are the three categories of carbohydrates? 3. What are the simplest carbohydrates called? 4. Identify three simple sugars. 5. What is the CHEMICAL FORMULA for any simple sugar? 6. What are ALL monosaccharides to each other, because they have the same chemical formula?
52
Carbohydrate Summary:
7. When 2 simple sugars bond together, what is the NEW PRODUCT? 8. When ANY 2 molecules join together, and water is lost in the joining, what is that called? 9. Because all monosaccharides are isomers of each other, what MUST be true about ALL DISACCHARIDES?!
53
Extra stuff
54
Attached to the carbon – influences the compounds properties Ex:
Functional groups - Attached to the carbon – influences the compounds properties Ex: Ethanol Oh hydroxyl group – makes molecule polar (hydrophilic)
55
Glucose is stored in large macromolecule called glycogen, which is 100’s of glucose’s bonded together Plants store glucose as polysaccharide starch Also as cellulose which helps with rigidity of plants – makes up 50% of wood – hard to break down / digest
