MORE ABOUT ORGANIC COMPOUNDS!!! ***REMEMBER: ORGANIC MEANS HAS CARBON & MAKES UP LIVING THINGS*** There are 4 types. We have already discussed 3 of them! • 1. CARBOHYDRATES • 2. LIPIDS • 3. PROTEINS • 4. NUCLEIC ACIDS PROTEIN CARBOHYDRATE LIPID 4) NUCLEIC ACIDS 2 Types: DNA RNA • DNA is considered the BLUEPRINT of life! • It controls all of the PROTEINS made in the body • RNA is the middle man! • DNA RNA PROTEIN NOW A LITTLE ABOUT SPECIAL PROTEINS….. ENZYMES • Special proteins that help in CHEMICAL REACTIONS such as DIGESTION . • Without enzymes, these chemical reactions would occur VERY slowly or not at all! HORMONES • Special proteins that help one part of the body COMMUNICATE with another part of the body. • Very important in maintaining a BALANCE within the body! • HOMEOSTASIS: keeping things the same! • Examples: ESTROGEN, TESTOSTERONE, STEROIDS, & INSULIN. PLACES WHERE HORMONES ARE MADE Enzymes in the liver! 2H202 CATALASE 2H20 + 02
