Objectives • List the chemical elements making up carbohydrates, fats, and proteins • Describe how large molecules are formed
Vocabulary • Polymers • Monomers • Carbohydrates • Fats • Proteins
Polymers: large organic molecules 1. Carbohydrates 2. Lipids 3. Proteins • Made up of smaller, repeating “building blocks” called MONOMERS • MONOMER + MONOMER = POLYMER
Examples of Polymers Proteins Lipids (fats) Carbohydrates
Most organic molecules are made up of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur (CHNOPS)
-Carbohydrates: organic compound made up of: • Carbon • Hydrogen • Oxygen • -Provide energy and food for organisms
Carbohydrates Monosaccharide-single sugar unit
Carbohydrates Oligosaccharides -two to ten sugar units
Carbohydrates Polysaccharide: many sugar units
-Fats: organic compounds made up of: • Carbon • Hydrogen • Oxygen • -Used for energy reserve
Proteins: organic compound made up of: • Carbon • Hydrogen • Nitrogen • Oxygen • Phosphorous • Sulfur • -Essential for life functions and as food source
Carbs, fats, and proteins have small subunits and make complex large molecules HOW? Adding small subunits together to form large polymers- polymerization
Potassium iodide solution added • Starch present- turns blue-black • Iodine forms molecules with parts of starch
Benedicts solution added • In presences of glucose, changes color
Add Biuret’s solution • Turns purple/deep violet if protein present
Add sudan red • Turns red in presence of fat
