1
Organic Compounds
2
Carbohydrates
3
Carbohydrate Characteristics Carbon chain or ring bonded to O or H atoms - contain 2 atoms of Hydrogen for every atom of Oxygen
4
Carbohydrate Importance Provide a quick source of energy (also used as structural building blocks ex: cellulose in plant cell wall)
5
Carbohydrate Examples Sugars (glucose, sucrose, fructose) Starches (cellulose, glycogen
6
Carbohydrate Food Examples Breads, pasta, potatoes, rice, cereal, fruit, etc.
7
Lipids
8
Lipid Characteristics Consist of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms (contain more hydrogen atoms than carbohydrates do) -------------------------------------------------------- Insoluble in water Saturated fat (animal) - single bonds Unsaturated fat (plant oils) - double bonds
9
Lipid Importance Long term energy source -------------------------------------------------------- *insulation *make hormones *form part of cell membranes
10
Lipid Examples Fats, oils, waxes, sterols, glycerol
11
Lipid Food Examples Butter, mayo, animal fats, seeds, oils, nuts etc.
12
Protein Characteristics Consist of amino acid chains (C, H, O, N & S)
13
Protein Importance Build & repair cells Speed up chemical reactions
14
Protein Examples Hair, skin, spider webs Hemoglobin, keratin, enzymes, globulins
15
Protein Food Examples Meat, fish, eggs, nuts, milk
16
Nucleic Acids
17
Nucleic Acid Characteristics Contain: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus (C, H, O, N, P) Consist of repeating units of sugar, phospate & nitrogen bases
18
Nucleic Acid Importance Control cellular activity Store genetic information Direct the making of proteins
19
Nucleic Acid Examples DNA & RNA * (nucleic acids are present in almost all foods)
20
What are organic compounds? Chemical compounds that contain carbon.
21
What group(s) of substances are considered energy sources? Carbohydrates and lipids.
22
How are lipids & carbohydrates similar? How are they different? They are both energy sources but carbohydrates provide quick energy and lipids are a long term energy source.
23
Name 2 types of nucleic acids. What is their importance in the cell? DNA & RNA They are used to make protein, store genetic information, and control cell activity.
24
Biological Molecules: Model 1 - #1 a.Carbohydrate - C, H, O b.Lipid - C, H, O c.Amino acid - C, H, O, N d.Nucleic acid - C, H, O, N, P
25
Biological Molecules: Model 1 - # 2 Lipid
26
Biological Molecules: Model 1 - # 3 Hydrogen
27
Biological Molecules: Model 1 - # 4 A hydrocarbon has a central chain of carbon atoms with hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon.
28
Biological Molecules: Model 1 - # 5 Amino acid
29
Biological Molecules: Model 1 - # 6 Nucleic acid
30
Biological Molecules: Model 1 # 7 All contain C, H, & O.
31
Biological Molecules: Model 1 - # 8 C 6 H 12 O 6
32
Biological Molecules: Model 1 - # 9 Amine group, carboxylic acid, & R side chain.
33
Biological Molecules: Model 1 - # 10 CH 3 & CH 2 -SH
34
Biological Molecules: Model 1 - # 11 (skip) Lipids - the long hydrocarbon has many more bonds.
35
Biological Molecules: Model 2 - # 12 Glucose and fructose.
36
Biological Molecules: Model 2 - # 13 Sucrose and water.
37
Biological Molecules: Model 2 - # 14 Di-
38
Biological Molecules: Model 2 - # 15 Two amino acids
39
Biological Molecules: Model 2 - # 16 Water and a dipeptide.
40
Biological Molecules: Model 2 - # 17 They all produce water
41
Biological Molecules: Model 2 - # 18 SKIP
42
Biological Molecules: Model 2 - # 19 All the reactions cause water to be removed, therefore, the molecule is dehydrated or water is “condensed” from the molecule
43
Biological Molecules: Model 2 - # 20 Water.
44
