Presentation Transcript

  1. The Structure and Function of Macromolecules AP Biology Crosby High School

  2. Polymers • Long chains • Made of Monomers • Dehydration Synthesis • Hydrolysis

  3. Carbohydrates • Monosaccharide • Serve as fuel and C source • Multiples of CH2O • Glucose • Fructose • Galactose • Hexose, Pentose, Triose • Ketose and Aldose

  4. Carbohydrates (cont.) • Formed by glycosidic linkages • Maltose = glucose + glucose • Sucrose = glucose + fructose • Lactose = glucose + galactose

  5. Carbohydrates (still) • Polysaccharides • Storage • Starch • Stored in plastids • Usually helical • Glycogen • Structural • Cellulose

  6. Lipids: Fat • Glycerol and Fatty acids • Hydrophobic • Ester Linkages • Tail: fatty acid • Head: glycerol

  7. Saturated vs. Unsaturated • Saturated • No double bonds • May lead to heart disease • Unsaturated • One or more double bonded C • “Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils”

  8. Lipids: Phospholipids • Glycerol, 2 fatty acids, PO4 group • Hydrophobic tail • Hydrophilic head • Assembly in water • Micelle • Phospholipid Bilayer

  9. Lipids: Steroids • Steroids • Cholesterol • Precursor of steroids • i.e. Sex hormones

  10. Proteins • Polypeptides • Peptide bonds • Amino Acids • Amino group • Carboxyl group • Hydrogen • R group • Two distinct ends • N-terminus • C-terminus

  11. Primary Frederick Sanger (1950) and Sanger Sequencing Secondary Alpha helix Beta pleated sheet Tertiary Hydrophobic interactions Disulfide bridges Quaternary Aggregate of subunits Collagen Proteins Structures

  12. Protein Folding • Denaturation • pH • Salt concentration • Aqeous  organic solvent • Chemicals that disrupt bonds • heat • Chaperonins • X-ray Crystallography

  13. Nucleic Acids • Types • Deoxyribonucleic Acid • Ribonucleic Acid • mRNA, tRNA, rRNA • Inheritance • Double helix held together by H bonds

  14. Nucleic Acids • Nucleotides joined by phosphodiester bonds • Parts of nucleotides • Nitrogenous bases • Pyrimidine • Purine • Pentose • DNA • RNA • Phosphate group
