Presentation Transcript

  1. BIOCHEMICAL MACROMOLECULES MONOMERS---SINGLE UNIT POLYMER-->3 OR MORE

  2. Simple Carbohydrates • Atomic composition--1C:2H:1O • CH2O--Molecular formula • Examples--Glucose, Fructose

  3. Complex Carbohydrates • (CH2O)n • Monomer--Glucose • Examples--Starch (plant) • Glycogen (animal starch) • Cellulose (plant fiber-cell walls) Functions--Energy Storage, Structure

  4. How monomers are linked together to form polymers

  5. Lipids--Fats,Oils & Steroids • C, H, little O • Monomer-- • fatty acids & glycerol • Examples-- • Fats --butter & lard (saturated) • Oils--plant oils (unsaturated)

  6. How lipids form polymers from fatty acids (monomer)

  7. Proteins • C,H,O,N • Monomer--amino acids--20 different • Polymer--100--1000 a.a’s long

  8. Nucleic Acids--DNA & RNA

  9. A Nucleotide

  10. How do nucleotides connect to form the polymer (DNA)?

  11. DNA is a double helix (twisted spiral ladder)
