Presentation Transcript

  1. Biomolecules

  2. Four Organic Compounds: • Carbohydrates • Lipids • Proteins • Nucleic Acids Why organic?

  3. Three Types of Carbohydrates: • Monosaccharide – “mono” means one a single sugar • Disaccharide – “di” means two two sugars • Polysaccharide – “poly” means many sugars

  4. Common Lipid Structures Phospholipid Triglyceride Saturated (solid lipid) Unsaturated (liquid lipid)

  5. = Polypeptide Chain peptide bond

  6. Polypeptide Chain Polypeptide Chain = Chain of Amino Acids = Protein (amine group) Peptide bonds = bonds between amino acids

  7. Molecular Structure Of . . .  DNA RNA nucleotide nucleotide
