This document provides an overview of biochemistry and the four main types of macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. It describes the basic composition and properties of each macromolecule type including their monomers, polymers, functional groups, and roles in maintaining life processes. Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and provide energy. Lipids contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and store energy. Proteins contain carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen and serve as the building blocks for tissues and enzymes.
Structure of organic compounds ppt
- 1. Biochemistry • Study of chemical composition and reactions occurring in living matter • Inorganic Compounds • Do not contain carbon • Exceptions - CO2, CO, bicarbonates • Water is the most abundant and important inorganic material, making up 60% - 80% of all cells and 2/3 of body weight
- 2. Organic Compounds • Contain the element carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. • Carbon is found in things that are or once were living. • Carbon atoms share electrons to form covalent bonds.
- 3. Organic Compounds • Organic compounds are composed of hundreds to thousands of individual molecules. – The single molecules in a polymer are called monomers.
- 4. Organic Compounds • The long molecules formed by repeating patterns of monomers are called polymers.
- 5. Functional Groups • A functional group is a group of atoms that characterize the structure of a family of organic compounds. • Functional groups determine many of the properties of organic compounds. • 3 Types to Know: Amine (NH2), Carboxyl (COOH), Hydroxyl (OH).
- 9. Macromolecules • 4 Types of Organic Compounds or macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. – Essential to maintaining life processes: cell function, storage, energy, homeostasis and genetic information.
- 10. Carbohydrates • Make up sugars and starches • Contain a hydroxyl (OH) group • Contain atoms of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. • The ratio of the atoms is 1 C : 2 H : 1 O • Provide energy to the cells. • Dissolve in water (hydrophilic)
- 11. Types of Carbohydrates • Carbohydrates are classified according to size. • One sugar is a monosaccharide (monomer). • Two sugars make a disaccharide. • Many sugar molecules linked together form a polysaccharide (polymer).
- 12. Monosaccharide Milk Sugar Fruit Sugar Types of Carbs
- 13. Disaccharide Maltose is two glucose molecules; forms in digestive tract of humans during starch digestion. Types of Carbs
- 14. Polysaccharide Starch is straight chain of glucose molecules with few side branches. Types of Carbs
- 15. Lipids • The three types of lipids are fats, oils, and waxes. • Contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen • Typically contain two monomers – glycerol and fatty acids • Glycerol contains the hydroxyl (OH) group. • Fatty acids contain the carboxyl (COOH) group.
- 17. Functions of Lipids • Lipids store energy for later use by the body. • Lipids also serve as padding and protection for the body. • Lipids do not dissolve in water (hydrophobic), but may contain parts that can dissolve in water. • The H : O ratio is higher in lipids than it is in carbohydrates.
- 18. Structure of a Lipid • Dissolves in water (hydrophilic) • Does not dissolve in water (hydrophobic)
- 19. Phospholipid • Found in cell membranes – Head is the phosphate group. • Hydrophilic – Tails are the fatty acids. • Hydrophobic
- 20. Fatty Acids • Long chains of carbon atoms with attached hydrogen atoms (hydrocarbons) • Saturated fats contain only single bonds between the carbon atoms. • Unsaturated fats contain one or more double or triple bonds between the carbon atoms.
- 21. Saturated & Unsaturated Fats
- 22. Proteins • Proteins are the building materials for the body. – Hair, skin, muscles, and organs are made mostly of proteins. • Composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen • Contain amine (NH2) and carboxyl (COOH) groups
- 23. Function of Proteins • The building blocks of proteins are amino acids (monomers). • Serve as enzymes which control rate of reactions and regulate cell processes. • Amino acids are connected by a special type of bond called a peptide bond. • Amino acid chains are called polypeptides. • A protein contains one or more polypeptide chains.
- 24. Amino Acids Function of Proteins
- 25. Types of Proteins • There are two types of proteins – fibrous and globular. • Fibrous protein (found in skin, tendons, bones, and muscles) does not dissolve in water (hydrophobic). • Globular protein (found in enzymes, some hormones, and hemoglobin) can dissolve in water (hydrophilic).
- 26. Fibrous Proteins • Keratins are a family of fibrous structural proteins; tough and insoluble, they form the hard but nonmineralized structures found in reptiles, birds, amphibians and mammals. Types of Proteins
- 27. Globular Proteins • Enzymes are proteins that catalyze (i.e. accelerate) chemical reactions. • Almost all processes in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at significant rates. Types of Proteins
Editor's Notes
- #2: Identify the important facts regarding inorganic molecules.
- #3: Have students differentiate between organic and inorganic compounds.
- #4: The images at the bottom are examples of monomers. Explain to the students that fructose is a simple sugar. The string of beads are also an example of monomers. As the beads are all the same in the string.
- #5: Compare the structure of the monomers to the polymers. Use the InterWrite tablet to identify the bonds for students.
- #6: Use the interactive links to show the diagrams of each functional group.
- #7: Use InterWrite tablet to a place circle around the functional group.
- #8: Identify the double bonds, in the carboxyl group.
- #9: Circle the hydroxyl group in the sugar molecule. Use the InterWrite tablets.
- #10: Students are to list all of the reasons why macromolecules are essential to life on their Cornell note sheet. Please allow time for this.
- #11: Emphasize the importance of carbohydrates to living things.
- #13: Use image to discuss the structure of the two simple sugars and their molecular formula C6H12O6. Use the InterWrite tablet to circle the functional group.
- #14: Differentiate between the simple sugars and the complex sugar. Again, emphasize the structure and molecular formula C12H22O11. Use the InterWrite tablets to circle the functional group.
- #15: Identify the structure of the polysaccharide. Highlight for students how the long chains of monomers form this polymer. Also, use the InterWrite tablets to circle the functional group.
