Carbon: Transformations in Matter and Energy Environmental Literacy Project Michigan State University Decomposers Unit Activity 5.2: Molecular Models for Fungi Growing: Digestion and Biosynthesis 2 Unit Map You are here Connecting Questions about Processes at Different Scales: Digestion Scale Unanswered Questions Macroscopic Scale How do fungi get food to all of their cells? Microscopic Scale How do food molecules get into the fungi’s hyphae? Atomic-Molecular Scale How are molecules in food changed chemically so that fungal cells can use them? 3 How do fungi get food to all of their cells? Materials for growth: Biosynthesis Food Digestion Energy: Cellular respiration 4 During digestion, large organic molecules are broken down into small organic molecules SMALL = Monomers LARGE = Polymer STARCH GLUCOSE (SUGAR) 5 How Atoms Bond Together in Molecules • Atoms in stable molecules always have a certain number of bonds to other atoms: – Carbon: 4 bonds – Oxygen: 2 bonds – Hydrogen: 1 bond • Oxygen atoms do NOT bond to other oxygen atoms if they can bond to carbon or hydrogen instead. • Chemical energy is stored in bonds between atoms – Some bonds (C-C and C-H) have high chemical energy – Other bonds (C-O and O-H) have low chemical energy Breakdown Protein Molecules (Digestion) Let’s focus on what happens to PROTEIN in food. (Put the other food molecules to the side for now.) Digest PROTEIN molecules by cutting the protein into individual amino acids. Notice that after you cut the protein apart there are bonds without atoms. Cut up water molecules to tape an –H and –OH to every amino acid. Chemical change 7 What happens to carbon atoms and chemical energy in digestion? Chemical change Protein polymer (+ water) Reactants Amino acid monomers Products 8 What happens to carbon atoms and chemical energy in digestion? Chemical change Protein polymer (+ water) Reactants Carbon atoms stay in organic molecules with high-energy bonds Amino acid monomers Products 9 Breakdown of Starch Molecules (Digestion) Digest STARCH molecules by cutting the starch into individual glucose monomers. Notice that after you cut the starch apart there are bonds without atoms. Cut up water molecules to tape an –H and –OH to every glucose.

Microscopic Scale Atomic-Molecular Scale How do fungal cells use small organic molecules to grow? How do cells make large organic molecules? 14 How do fungal cells use food to grow? Materials for growth: Biosynthesis Food Digestion Energy: Cellular respiration 15 Remember what’s in fungi (mushroom)? PROTEIN Mushrooms STARCH 16 Build a Mushroom (Biosynthesis) Build PROTEIN molecules by taping 4 amino acid monomers together. Notice you will need to remove an –H and –OH from each amino acid. Tape these back together to make water. Chemical change 17 What happens to carbon atoms and chemical energy in biosynthesis?

Chemical change Amino acid monomers Reactants Carbon atoms stay in organic molecules with high-energy bonds Protein polymer (+ water) Products 19 Build a Mushroom (Biosynthesis) Build STARCH molecule by taping 3 glucose monomers together. Notice you will need to remove an –H and –OH from glucose. Tape these back together to make water. Chemical change 20 What happens to carbon atoms and chemical energy in biosynthesis?
