1
Wake-up 1.Draw two water molecules. Label the positive and negative ends. Connect the two molecules together with a hydrogen bond. 2.Explain what property of water is shown in the picture to the right.
2
Wake-up 1.All living things are made up of 6 elements. List as many as you can. 1.What does the prefix mono- mean? 1.What does the prefix di- mean? 1.What does the prefix poly- mean?
3
Biochemistry: Structure Christopherson
4
What is Biochemistry? Chemistry of living organisms
5
Basic Elements of Life Remember: CHNOPS C = Carbon H = Hydrogen N = Nitrogen O = OxygenP = Phosphorus S = Sulfur
6
How to “read” molecular structures Bond Double Bond
7
How to “read” molecular structure Bond Carbon
8
What does this have to do with Biology???
9
Four Macromolecules: 1. Carbohydrates
10
Four Macromolecules: 2. Lipids
11
Four Macromolecules: 3. Proteins
12
Four Macromolecules: 4. Nucleic Acids
13
Monomer Single molecule One subunit Example: Single bead for a necklace
14
Polymer Many molecules More than one subunit Example: Beads making up a necklace
15
Carbohydrate Also known as: Sugars and starches Elements present: How many of each element are present? C, H, O C=6, H=12, O=6 Ratio – 1:2:1
16
Monomer of a Carbohydrate Simple Sugar or Monosaccharide
17
Polymer of a Carbohydrate Complex sugar
18
Type of Carb: Monosaccharide Explanation: One sugar / Simple Sugar Example: Glucose or Fructose
19
Type of Carb: Disaccharide Explanation: Two sugars Example: Sucrose
20
Type of Carb: Polysaccharide Explanation: Many Sugars
21
Example of a Polysaccharides Cellulose: Found in plants
22
Example of a Polysaccharide Starch: Found in plants
23
Examples of a Polysaccharide Chitin: Found in fungus and arthropods
24
Example of a Polysaccharide Glycogen: Found stored in animal livers and muslces
25
Lipids Also known as: Fats, Oils, and Waxes Elements present: Monomer: Polymer: C, H, O high ratios Glycerol and fatty acid tails Triglyceride
26
Saturated Fats Fatty acid tail that has all single bonds; “saturated” with carbon
27
Unsaturated Fats Fatty acid tail that has double bonds; “bends” or “kinks” in the structure

df
30
What is the difference between a carbohydrate and a lipid?
31
Protein Elements present: C, H, O, N, and sometimes S R is the point of attachment for structures that make each amino acid unique
32
Protein Monomers Amino Acid
33
Protein Polymer Protein: Amino acids are held together by peptide bonds
34
Protein Structure
35
Proteins fold and fold and fold….
36
Nucleic Acids Elements present: Monomer: C,H,O,N,P Nucleotide
