What is Organic Chemistry • Biosynthesis: living things making substances • Molecules made from Carbon, but it usually has Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. • Carbon Dioxide is not an organic molecule.
Organic compounds: contain Carbon can be made by an organism Carbon has 4 valence e- can bond w/ up to 4 atoms can form single, double, triple bonds can form chains & rings
4 kinds of Organic Compounds • Carbohydrates • Lipids • Proteins • Nucleic acids
Carbohydrates CH2O - Hydrated Carbon
carbohydrates = saccharides C(OH2) hydrated Carbon 3 types of simple sugars 1. monosaccharides ex: ribose, glucose, fructose 2. disaccharides ex: sucrose, maltose, lactose 3. polysaccharide ex: starch, glycogen, cellulose
Starch an energy source stored by plants Glycogen an energy storage molecule in humans Cellulose makes plants strong isn’t digestible to most animals roughage (fiber) in diet
Dehydration Synthesis How are organic molecules made? dehydration – remove water synthesis – to make Dehydration Synthesis is “to make by removing water”

Hydrolysis How are organic molecules broken down? hydro – water lys – to break Hydrolysis is “to break by adding water”

Lipids (fats, waxes, cholesterol, oil, phospholipids) * made of fatty acids & glycerol * do not dissolve in H2O * contains most energy/ gram
Lipids • Glycerol Molecule • Glycerol (circled in red) and 3 Fatty Acid Chains http://biology.clc.uc.edu/graphics/bio104/ http://biology.clc.uc.edu/graphics/bio104/fat.jpg
Lipids A glycerol molecule connected to 3 fatty Acid chains.
Lipids can be * saturated with H solid at room temp ex: crisco, butter, cholesterol * unsaturated has C=C (double bonds) liquid at room temperature ex: olive oil
Saturated vs. Unsaturated http://biology.clc.uc.edu/graphics/bio104/fat.jpg
Phospholipids hydrophobic tail hydrophilic head
Phospholipids Cellular Membrane is composed of a Phospholipid bilayer
Proteins • wide variety • made of amino acids • amine acid • group group • -NH3 -COO • amino acid
Amino Acids http://njms2.umdnj.edu/biochweb/education/bioweb/PreK2010/aminoacids.gif
Proteins • amino acids linked by peptide bond • forms polypeptide chain • Critical for proteins to be functional • chain fold into 3D protein shape • sequence of amino acids • determines the protein

Enzymes = biological catalyst Enzymes are proteins!! Enzymes allow reactions (rxn) to occur in living things with out dangerous energy levels Enzymes usually end in –ase Amylase Catalase Protease Lipase Cellulase Pepsin (but not always end in –ase)
Enzymes 1) proteins 2) highly specific 3) require energy 4) may require coenzymes 5) affected by heat, radiation, pH, chemicals 6) often work in series 7) have active sites

Nucleic Acids (DNA & RNA) • found in the nucleus • DNA • material of heredity = genes • structure determined by • Watson & Crick, 1953 • They stole it from Rosalind Strickland • blueprint for making itself
DNA = double chain of nucleotides 1) sugar = deoxyribose 2) phosphate 3) base
DNA replication making 2 new DNA molecules from an old 1
RNA uracil instead of thymine ribose instead of deoxyribose
