Biochemistry : An Introduction to the Basic Molecules of Life “The fragrance of the rose always stays in the hand of the giver” 2-1 Basics of Chemistry Element--substance that can’t be broken down by chemical processes into simpler substance (like letters of alphabet Compound--two or more elements combined chemically Properties of the elements change once combined Organic compounds Molecules of life (carbos, protein, lipids, nucleic acids) Contain the element carbon,Hydrogen Chemical bonds Chemical bonds hold atoms together in compound Energy absorbed or released when bonds break or are formed Ionic bonds Covalent bonds Chemicals at work Chemical reactions--atoms/molecules are rearranged into new combinations Rusting Burning Digesting/breaking down food Energy can either be absorbed or given off by a reaction No matter or energy is created in a reaction, it’s just rearranged Carbohydrates Function in Cells 1. 2. Carbohydrates Include sugars, starches, cellulose Contains carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) Provide 4 Calories of energy per gram Called monomers Also micromolecules-small molecules MONOSACCHARIDES Monosaccharide— Building blocks of larger more complex carbohydrates(MACROMOLECULES) Glucose(Major source of cellular energy) ,fructose Formula- C6H12O6 Sources? Quick energy- 20 min Production of compounds Hydro = Hydrate vs. dehydrate Synthesis--put together Lysis Dehydration synthesis A + B ---> AB + water Removal of water to make organic compounds HYDROLYSIS Water + AB ---> A + B Add water to break up organic compounds- DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS http://science.nhmccd.edu/BIOL/dehydrat/dehydrat.html DISACCHARIDES Composed Formula Sources? sucrose,lactose, maltose-1hr POLYSACCHARIDES Composed of Formula- C60+H110+O55+ How are they made? How are they broken down? CELLULOSE-Type of polysaccharide Also called fiber or roughage Indigestible by humans Forms cell walls in plant cells STARCH-Type of polysaccharide Stored polysaccharide in plants Stored in roots and stems GLYCOGEN- Type of polysaccharide Made in animal cells Made for the purpose of short term energy storage Stored in liver and muscles CHITIN- Type of polysaccharide Forms exoskeleton of arthropods Lobsters, insects, crabs Key Components of Lipids 3 Fatty acids are key components of many lipids Glycerol Looks like and E Lipids Includes fats, oils, waxes, and steroids Provide: Long-term energy storage (fat, oil) Protection from water/waterproofing (wax) Structure for cells (phospholipids) Fats have most energy per gram (9 Cal/gram) Saturated and unsaturated fat unsaturated fatty acids are liquid at room temperature carbon chains have double bonds saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature and carbon chains contain only single bonds Fats of a cell membrane Called phospholipids Important to control what enters and leaves the cell Dehydration synthesis of lipid Proteins Composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen 20 amino acids hooked together by special bonds called PEPTIDE BONDS Found in foods (meat, poultry, fish), produced in body from amino acids Protein structure Produced by dehydration synthesis Classified Number of amino acids(20 different) Order of the amino acids Shape of the amino acids Functions Provide: Movement (muscles) Regulation (enzymes) Transport (hemoglobin in RBC’s) Nucleic Acids Control inherited characteristics DNA--genetic blueprint RNA--carries out instructions for protein production ATP Adenosine triphosphate Food energy must be converted to ATP to power cell functions Produced by cellular respiration Chemical Reactions Chemical changes - making or breaking chemical bonds that link atoms - involve energy Activation energy - Chemical Reactions Activation energy - too high for living cells - cellular reactions must occur quickly and at low temperatures Chemical Reactions Catalysts - lower the activation energy - speed up a reaction - are not used up Enzymes-organic catalysts Made of protein to assist reactions in body Recyclable Enzymes can be denatured (structurally changed and made inactive) by adverse conditions (e.g. high temperature, pH) Enzyme makeup Substrate - the macromolecule on which an enzyme acts Active site - binds to the substrate - different shape Enzyme/substrate complex Enzyme-substrate complex formed (lock/key)(induced fit) Naming enzymes: Usually end in -ase or in Usually include the substrate Ex.” Enzyme activity Enzymes & activation energy Enzymes lower the reaction’s activation energy.

What group of proteins function as biological catalysts in our bodies? What type of molecule is formed when there is an uneven sharing of electrons in a covalent bond (water was the example given)? What are the building blocks of protein? An attraction between substances of the same kind is called ________________. What term refers to the “energy needed to start a chemical reaction? From the reading, what substance was described as changing temperature very slowly, thus helping to maintain homeostasis? What 2 factors were noted to affect enzyme Chemical Reactions Exergonic (Exothermic) release of energy In form of heat light ect Endergonic (Endothermic) - input of energy - endothermic draws in heat ect Enzymes and inhibition Enzymes may be inhibited in many ways Enzymes have specific: Substrate Temperature-Optimal Temperature pH- Optimal pH High temperatures or changes in pH can cause an enzyme to lose its normal 3-D shape ( denature ) Low temperatures slow reaction down Incorrect pH will slow reaction down or stop it this denature causes the enzyme to lose its normal functioning and to be structurally changed and made inactive WATER 70% of our body is made of water Why does it do so many cool things? Storage of heat--resists quick temp change and helps maintain homeostasis Cohesion and adhesion Cohesion--water sticks to other water molecules; surface tension forms drops Adhesion--water sticks to other things; allows water to move through plants
