1
Turn in your OLD bell work page and start a NEW one today! BELL WORK: Copy the question below and write your answer. Why are biomolecules important?
2
Set up the next page in your journal… Page: 20 Date: 9-22-15 Title: Carbohydrates Essential Question: Why are carbohydrates so important? Yes, Cornell notes!
3
Biomolecules (Recap) are found in all living things. are organic compounds. ◦ contain the element carbon (C) ◦ All living things contain carbon. A substance without carbon is called inorganic. Elements to know: C = carbonN = nitrogen H = hydrogenP = phosphorus O = oxygen
4
Before we begin… Glue the picture in the top left corner of your notes. You will be referring back to it during today’s lesson! Under the picture, write GLUCOSE and C 6 H 12 O 6.
5
Carbohydrates….here we go! Structure discovery: For the next minute discuss the following questions at your table: How would you describe the structure (shape) of this biomolecule? What elements are present? What pattern exists among the elements? (hint: count them!)
6
Structure: typically ring shaped (there are a few exceptions) contain Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen (CHO) have a 1:2:1 ratio (relationship) in the elements. o For every 1 Carbon atom, there are 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom
7
QUICK and IMMEDIATE energy (CAR-bohydrate) ◦ contain 4 calories per gram ◦ there are fewer bonds to break, so the energy is used up QUICKLY Function:
8
Examples: Saccharides (sugars) o end in –ose (glucose, fructose, sucrose, etc) Vegetables Bread Starch
9
Monomer = monosaccharide Monosaccharides bond to form… Polymer = polysaccharide What do we call the pieces of a carbohydrate?
10
Monosaccharide: Polysaccharide:
11
MARSHMALLOW’S A-FIRE!
12
At the bottom of your notes, copy and answer the question below: ◦ Why did the flame go out before the marshmallow was completely gone? Use the words carbohydrate, bond, & energy in your answers!
13
Foldable Time!!! 1.Open your journal to page 19. 2.At the bottom of the Monomer box, write the monomer of a carbohydrate. 3.At the bottom of the Polymer box, write the polymer of a carbohydrate. 4.Draw an arrow from the monomer to the polymer. 5.On the INSIDE of the Carbohydrate door, write TWO functions and FOUR examples. 6.On the FRONT of the Carbohydrate door, draw a glucose molecule. Be sure to draw all the elements!
14
Reading & Questions You are working INDEPENDENTLY (this means by yourself)! Read the paragraph and answer the questions. Anything you don’t finish now is HOMEWORK!
