Life Substances Biomolecules Macromolecules Or…major organic compounds
sucrose Carbohydrates • Function: • quick energy • energy storage (short term) • structure • Ex. cell wall in plants • Examples • sugars • starches • cellulose (cell wall) glucoseC6H12O6 starch
Carbohydrates are organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the ratio 1:2:1 (carbon:hydrogen:oxygen) are made by plants (autotrophs) are the body’s primary source of energy come in two basic forms:monomers and polymers are made of monomers (building blocks) called monosaccharides
C CH2OH C C O H H H C C H OH OH OH H OH Monosaccharides (simple sugars) are easily identified by their sweet taste. Glucose is a monosaccharide. Other monosaccharides:fructose (fruit sugar) galactose (milk sugar). C6 H12 O6 Note the ring shape of the molecule.
CH2OH O H H H OH H OH HO H OH glucose sucrose fructose C6H12O6 maltose -ose • Names for sugars usually end in • glucose • fructose • sucrose • maltose
Building carbohydrates • Synthesis 1 sugar = monosaccharide 2 sugars = disaccharide | glucose | glucose | maltose mono = one saccharide = sugar di = two

Sucrose (table sugar) is an example of a sugar with only two monosaccharides.
enzyme enzyme Digesting starch vs. cellulose starcheasy todigest cellulosehard todigest
Cellulose • Cell walls in plants • herbivores can digest cellulose well • most carnivores cannot digest cellulose • that’s why they eat meatto get their nutrients • cellulose = roughage • stays undigested • keeps material moving in your intestines
Lipids • Examples • fats • oils • waxes • hormones • sex hormones • testosterone (male) • estrogen (female)
Lipids • Function: a. energy storage (long term) • very concentrated • twice the energy as carbohydrates! b. cell membrane c. cushions organs d. insulates body • think whale blubber!
Structure of Fat not a chain (polymer) = just a “big fat molecule”

Other lipids in biology C. Cell membranes are made out of lipids a. phospholipids b. heads are on the outside touching water • “like” water c. tails are on inside away from water • “scared” of water d. forms a barrier between the cell & the outside
Proteins: Multipurpose molecules
insulin pepsin collagen (skin) Proteins Examples • muscle • skin, hair, fingernails, claws • collagen, keratin • pepsin • digestive enzyme in stomach • insulin • hormone that controls blood sugar levels
Proteins • Function: • many, many functions a. hormones • signals from one body system to another • insulin b. movement - muscle c. immune system - protect against germs d. enzymes - help speed up chemical reactions
H | —C— | H amino acid amino acid amino acid amino acid amino acid – – – – C—OH —N— O || H Proteins • Monomer = amino acids • 20 different amino acids There’s20 of us… like 20 differentletters in analphabet!Can make lots of differentwords variable group
H H H H H H O O O N N N C C C C C C H H H OH OH OH R H C H OH H C H H Proteins are made up of anaminogroup a carboxyl group and an “R” group which varies in the different amino acids Serine Alanine
amino acid amino acid amino acid amino acid amino acid Amino acid chains • Proteins • amino acids chained into a polymer • Each amino acid is different • some “like” water & dissolve in it • some “fear” water & separate from it
collagen For proteins: SHAPE matters! a. Proteins fold & twist into 3-D shape • that’s what happens in the cell! b. Different shapes = different jobs growthhormone hemoglobin pepsin
It’s SHAPE that matters! • Proteins do their jobs, because of their shape • Unfolding a protein destroys its shape a. wrong shape = can’t do its job (lose function)_ b. unfolding proteins = “denature” • By high temperatures or extreme pH unfolded“denatured” In Biology, it’s not the size, it’s the SHAPEthat matters! folded
Nucleic acids: Information molecules
Nucleic Acids Examples • DNA • DeoxyriboNucleic Acid • RNA • RiboNucleic Acid RNA
proteins DNA Nucleic Acids • Function: a. stores genetic information 1. genes 2. blueprint for building proteins - DNA RNA proteins b. transfers information 1. blueprint for new cells 2. blueprint for next generation

phosphate N base sugar Nucleic acids nucleotides • Monomer = nucleotide – nucleotide – nucleotide – nucleotide • 5 different nucleotides • Different 5 nitrogen bases • A, T, C, G, U Nitrogen BasesI’m the A,T,C,G or Upart!
sugar sugar sugar sugar N base N base N base N base phosphate phosphate phosphate phosphate Nucleotide chains • Nucleic acids • nucleotides chained into a polymer a. DNA 1. double-sided 2. double helix 3. A, T, C, G b. RNA 1. single-sided 2. A, U, C, G strong bonds RNA
