Biochemistry Notes MACROMOLECULES Organic Compounds and Their Properties
Organic Chemistry • Organic chemistryis the study of: molecules containing carbon to carbon bonds. • Macromolecules are very large organic molecules.
Four Biological Macromolecules • Carbohydrates- starches & sugars • Lipids- fats • Proteins • Nucleic Acids- DNA & RNA
To build macromoleucles, smaller units (subunits) called monomers are put together. Many single units, called monomers, bond together to form larger chains called polymers. Building Blocks of Life

Carbohydrates Elements: 1C:2H:1O starches and sugars
Carbohydrates MONOMER:Glucose – C6H12O6 -simple sugar that cell’s use as its main source of energy(Blood Sugar) • POLYMERS: Starch, Glycogen, & Cellulose
Carbohydrates Food Sources: • Starches: bread, cereal, pasta, rice, potato, oats • Sugars: candy, fruit, milk, sodas
Carbohydrate Storage • Starch– molecules created by plants to store excess glucose. Shape: Long polymer chains of glucose • Glycogen – molecules created by animals to store excess glucose in the liver and in muscle tissue until needed. Shape: Long branching polymer chains of glucose
Structural Carbohydrate • Cellulose – forms cell walls of plants and gives plant structural support -found in wood, paper, cotton, straw. -source of dietary fiber (vegetables & fruit) Shape: Long compact polymer chains of glucose
Cellulose All are polymers of Glucose
LIPIDS Fats, Oils & Waxes Elements: C,H,O Lipids are non-polar–repel water.
G L Y C E R O L F a t t y A c i d s F a t t y A c i d s F a t t y A c i d s Lipid Monomers Monomers: Fatty Acids and Glycerol. Two polymers: Saturated & Unsaturated fats.
Importance of Lipids (fats) Functions in body: • Provide long term energy (1 gram fat = 9 calories, 1 gram carbohydrate = 4 calories) • Major part of cell membranes • Provide insulation/cushion to body organs
Unsaturated fats: The Good Fats F a t t y A c i d s G L Y C E R O L F a t t y A c i d s F a t t y A c i d s Shape: 3 fatty acids bonded to a glycerol “E”=liquid Where found: Most vegetable oils, canola oil, olive oil
Where found: animal fat, butter, bacon, margarine, shortening G L Y C E R O L F a t t y A c i d s F a t t y A c i d s F a t t y A c i d s Saturated fats: The Bad Fats Shape: 3 fatty acids bonded to a glycerol “E”=solid
Where else can I find Lipids? • Cholesterol • Some hormones • Beeswax and earwax
PROTEINS Elements:C,H,O,N
PROTEINS Monomers: Amino Acids -20 different ones (the order and kind determine the type of protein) Two polymers: Structural Proteins & Enzymes Food Sources: Meats, fish, eggs, beans, cheese, milk
Importance of Structural Proteins • Build and repair muscle, bone, tendons, ligaments, hair, feathers, nails, skin,etc. • Part of cell membranes. • Helps blood transport oxygen and form clots. • Aid with the immune system defense.
Where are they found? Feathers Silk Hair & Nails Muscles Bones Skin Blood
Enzymes Function-biological catalyst that speeds up & controls all chemical reactions in the body Shape:Long chains of amino acids folded into shapes that have grooves to fit other molecules.
Fragile Enzymes • Enzymes are found working in every cell of the body. • Any extreme change in pH or temperature can denature or unravel a protein. • Denatured proteins can not return it their original shape and no longer function.
Nucleic Acids Elements:C,H,O,N,P
Monomers: Nucleotide Polymers: DNA, RNA, ATP Food Sources: Fresh unprocessed foods Parts of a Nucleotide P S NB NUCLEIC ACIDS
DNA Function: DNA stores the genetic information needed to build your body, and maintain it for life. Shape: Double Helix-two chains of nucleotides bonded down the middle like a zipper to form a twisted ladder shape. Where Found: In the nucleus of every cell of the body.
RNA Function: RNA carries out the instructions found in DNA. It is used in making proteins. Shape: A single chain of nucleotides Where Found: Inside and outside of nucleus.
