THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE

Explore the role of carbon in creating a variety of organic compounds, the complexity of life's chemical makeup, and the significance of polymerization in building larger molecules. Learn about the monomers and polymers that contribute to life's complexity, and discover the importance of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids in living systems.

Presentation Transcript

  1. THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE

  2. Carbon Has a valence of 4, which allows it to create a variety of different compounds much more than other atoms.

  3. Carbon

  4. ORGANIC CHEMICALS Contain one or more Carbon atoms

  5. COMPLEXITY OF LIFE Because life is highly complex, its chemical make up is also complex.

  6. POLYMERIZATION Putting together simple building blocks to form larger more complex molecules

  7. MONOMERS AND POLYMERS MONOMER IS THE BOXCAR

  8. MONOMERS AND POLYMERS POLYMER IS THE WHOLE TRAIN

  9. MONOMERS AND POLYMERS BUILDING COMPLEXITY

  10. MONOMERS AND POLYMERS MONO MEANS ONE POLY MEANS MANY

  11. MONOMERS AND POLYMERS Carbon MONOxide MONOmial (from math) MONOlogue MONOpoly MONOMER

  12. MONOMERS AND POLYMERS POLYgon POLYgamy POLYnomial POLYMER

  13. MONOMERS MONOMER MONOMER MONOMER MONOMER MONOMER MONOMER

  14. A POLYMER

  15. MONOMERS AND POLYMERS MONOMER IS THE BOXCAR POLYMER IS THE WHOLE TRAIN CHANGE A BOXCAR AND THE TRAIN CHANGES

  16. MONOMERS MONOMER MONOMER MONOMER MONOMER MONOMER MONOMER

  17. A DIFFERENT POLYMER

  18. THE 4 ORGANIC GROUPS CARBOHYDRATES LIPIDS PROTEINS NUCLEIC ACIDS

  19. CARBOHYDRATES PURPOSE IN A LIVING SYSTEM – THESE ARE ENERGY MOLECULES! THESE WILL ALSO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR PLANTS!

  20. CARBOHYDRATES SOME OF THIS MAY BE FAMILIAR: SIMPLE CARBS COMPLEX CARBS

  21. CARBOHYDRATES SOME OF THIS MIGHT BE NEW: POLYMER MONOMER MONOSACCHARIDES POLYSACCHARIDES

  22. LIPIDS PURPOSE IN A LIVING SYSTEM – THESE STORE ENERGY! THESE WILL ALSO PROVIDE PROTECTION FOR PLANTS!

  23. LIPIDS SOME OF THIS MAY BE FAMILIAR: THESE ARE BOTH POLYMERS FATS OILS

  24. LIPIDS LIPID MONOMERS ARE: GLYCEROL AND THREE FATTY ACIDS

  25. LIPIDS

  26. PROTEINS PURPOSE IN A LIVING SYSTEM – PROTEINS DO SO MANY THINGS!

  27. PROTEINS PURPOSE IN A LIVING SYSTEM Hormones, growth, repair, cell identification, speeding up body chemistry,

  28. PROTEINS MONOMER = AMINO ACID

  29. PROTEINS POLYMER = POLYPEPTIDE AMINO ACID 1 AMINO ACID 2 AMINO ACID 3

  30. PROTEINS POLYMER = POLYPEPTIDE PEPTIDE BOND PEPTIDE BOND

  31. A PROTEIN

  32. NUCLEIC ACIDS PURPOSE IN A LIVING SYSTEM – THESE MOLECULES STORE AND MOVE INFORMATION

  33. NUCLEIC ACIDS THE AWESOME DNA

  34. THE 4 ORGANIC GROUPS CARBOHYDRATES LIPIDS PROTEINS NUCLEIC ACIDS
