ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids
C a r b o h y d r a t e Contains Carbon Same ratio of Hydrogen:Oxygen as H2O, 2:1 Made up of the elements: • CARBON • HYDROGEN • OXYGEN
Simple Sugars-monomers • MONOSACCHARIDES • C6H12O6 • 3 Monosaccharides: • Glucose • Fructose • Galactose
Double Sugars-polymers • DISACCHARIDES • C12H22O11 • 3 Disaccharides: • Sucrose • Lactose • Maltose
SUCROSE • Common table sugar • Made by combining glucose & fructose
LACTOSE • Major sugar in milk • Made by combining glucose & galactose
MALTOSE • Product of starch digestion • Made by combining glucose & glucose
How are disaccharides made? • DehydrationSynthesis (Condensation Reaction) —2 monomers combine & you get a polymer + water. • Hydrolysis —break-up of polymer to get monomers… just add water. (reverse of above)
Complex Sugars-polymers • POLYSACCHARIDES • Many sugars…long chains • 3 Polysaccharides: • Starch • Cellulose • Glycogen
STARCH • Plants store it as food (energy)
CELLULOSE • Plant fiber
GLYCOGEN Animals store it as food energy in liver and muscles
Carbohydrate Function • Used by cells to store and release energy
Made up of the elements: • CARBON • HYDROGEN • OXYGEN
MONOMERS • 1 Glycerol • 3 Fatty Acids
POLYMERS • COMMON NAMES • Fats • Oils • Waxes • Steroids (Cholesterol)
LIPID VARIATIONS • Saturated – all single bonds (the fatty acids contain the maximum possible number of H atoms) • Unsaturated – 1 double bond (more H atoms can bond) • Polyunsaturated – multiple double bonds
FUNCTIONS OF LIPIDS • Used to store energy • Biological membranes & waterproof coverings • Hormones (chemical messengers, regulators)
Made up of the elements: • CARBON • HYDROGEN • OXYGEN • NITROGEN • PHOSPHORUS
MONOMERS • Nucleotides • Sugar • Phosphate • Base
POLYMERS • Deoxyribonucleic Acid • DNA • Ribonucleic Acid • RNA
FUNCTIONS • Genetic Code
Made up of the elements: • CARBON • HYDROGEN • OXYGEN • NITROGEN
Protein Facts • Protein = Greek for primary or first • Most diverse and complex macromolecule • Makes up about 50% of our body weight • Each has a unique structure and function
MONOMERS • Amino Acids • There are 20 amino acids. • If you change the order they are arranged in, you produce different proteins with different functions.
POLYMERS • Polypeptides • Many amino acids bonded together Polypeptide Amino Acids
Parts of an Amino Acid • Central Carbon (C) • Hydrogen (H) • Amino Group (NH2) • Carboxyl Group (COOH) • Side Group (R) • Different for every amino acid
Dehydration Synthesis (Condensation Reaction) • How amino acids are put together into a polypeptide (a) Dehydration Synthesis (Condensation Reaction)
Hydrolysis Reaction • How polypeptides are broken down into amino acids
Protein Functions 1. Structure • Give support and shape • Collagen and Elastin – skin, cartilage, tendons and ligaments • Keratin – hair, horns, feathers, nails
Protein Functions • Transport • Move other molecules • Hemoglobin and Myoglobin – transport oxygen
