Macromolecules I. What are macromolecules? A. CARBOHYDRATES B. LIPIDS D. NUCLEIC ACIDS (DNA) C. PROTEINS II. What does it mean to be organic? A. CHNOPS – The Six Most Abundant Elements of Life What makes something Organic? B. If it contains the element Carbon (C) and Hydrogen (H) it is called a HYDROCARBON – they contain only C and H bonded in different proportions III. Functional Groups Before we begin to study macromolecules, let’s start with the functional groups Specific groups of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules A. Hydroxyl Group Identified as a hydrogen atom bonded directly to an oxygen atom (-OH) Easily identifiable and one of most popular H H H C C H H Ethanol OH B. Carboxyl Group Slightly larger than hydroxyl Molecular formula COOH Carbon double bonded to oxygen on one side and bonded to OH on the other C. Phosphate Group Phosphorous surrounded by 4 oxygen atoms One of oxygen atoms shows double bond to phosphorous D. Carbonyl Group • Carbon atom joined to an oxygen atom by a double bond (symbolized as C=O) • Two types: • Aldehyde • Ketone 2 Forms: Aldehydes & Ketones • Aldehyde groups, • Ketone groups, where where the C=O group is at the end of a molecule • H atom is also located on the same C atom. the C=O group is located within a molecule • All sugars have either a ketone or an aldehyde E. Amino Group Nitrogen bonded to 2 hydrogen atoms – Non-ionized form Nitrogen bonded to 3 hydrogen atoms, one has positive charge (H+) – Ionized Form F. Sulfhydryl Group Fairly rare for our purposes Sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom Let’s See What You’ve Learned So Far!! Which functional group is shown below? 1. Carboxyl 2. Sulfhydryl 3.

Formation of Macromolecules A. What are macromolecules made of? 1. Monomers: smaller building blocks of the macromolecules 2. Monomers can link together to form polymers (macromolecules) Macromolecule Formation Process = Dehydration Synthesis Removal of OH + H forms water, H2O Leaves bonding sites that join monomer units. Monomer Monomer OH H H2O Polymer Macromolecule Destruction Process = Hydrolysis Break bond between monomer units. Add OH + H to fill bonding sites. Polymer H2O OH Monomer H Monomer Fill in Chart… For each Macromolecule – Made of (elements) – Basic Unit (monomer) – Polymer unit – Function – Where found – Examples Use pages 45-49 in book and/or discuss with partner
