Presentation Transcript

  1. Biomolecules • What are Biomolecules and what elements are they made of? Organic molecules that make life possible. Carbons, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen

  2. Biomolecules • The four Types of Biomolecule are: Carbohydrate, Lipid, Protein, and Nucleic Acids

  3. Biomolecules • Saccarides are sugars and classified as what type of Biomolecule? Carbohydrate

  4. Biomolecules • Simple, smallest, and the most biologically useful monomer of sugar is: Glucose

  5. Biomolecules • A single sugar is known as a monosaccharide. A chain of sugars are known as: 2 = Disaccharide 3+ = Polysaccharide

  6. Biomolecules • Complex polysaccharides often form chains to become starches which the body uses for: Storing Energy

  7. Biomolecules • Proteins are useful Macromolecules made up of subunits called; Amino Acids

  8. Biomolecules • A type of protein that speeds reactions and catalyzes molecules; Enzyme

  9. Biomolecules • What does an Enzyme do to the activation energy of a reaction? It lowers it

  10. Biomolecules • Are enzymes used up or are they reusable? Reusable!

  11. Biomolecules • What are Enzymes named after? The Molecule they Catalyze Lactase binds to Lactose

  12. Biomolecules • When an Enzyme catalyzes a molecule it breaks a substrate into two: Products

  13. Biomolecules • A positive biuret test for a protein shows a color change from blue to - Purple

  14. Biomolecules • What kinds of foods do we commonly find are made of proteins: Meats and Cheeses

  15. Biomolecules • A reaction where a monomer becomes a polymer is called: Dehydration Synthesis Loss of H2O

  16. Biomolecules • The Biomolecule commonly referred to as Fat: Lipids

  17. Biomolecules • Lipids are composed of a Glycerol and: Fatty Acid Tails

  18. Biomolecules • Lipids can be used as insulation, waterproofing, and most importantly: Energy

  19. Biomolecules • Cholesterol is a form of fat, what does the body use it for? Energy

  20. Biomolecules • DNA and RNA are this type of Biomolecule: Nucleic Acid

  21. Biomolecules • Nucleic acids make up your genetic information. The 3 subunits are? Phosphate group, Ribose Sugar, Nitrogenous Base

  22. Biomolecules • Saccarides are sugars and classified as what type of Biomolecule? Carbohydrate
