Biochemistry Macromolecules-large molecules made of thousands of units. Monomer-one unit Polymer-many units joined into a chain (polymerization) 4 Types of Macromolecules in all life. 1. Carbohydrates Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen (1:2:1) Provide energy Used for plant structures (cellulose) Sugars (small units) and starches (large units) Sugars all end in “-ose” (sucrose, glucose, lactose, fructose, dextrose) Units: Monosaccharides 2 units: Disaccharide 3 units: Polysaccaride EX. Starch,cellulose, glycogen Glucose-simplest sugar Starches-used by plants and animals Glycogen- Used by animals only More bonds to break Cellulose-used by plants for cell walls Complex carbohydrate - monomer monosaccharide Types of complex Carbohydrates Glycogen- found in animals. We store our sugars in the liver Cellulose- found in plants and cell walls in plant cells. It is used for holding structure of plants Starch- storage of energy in plants. Found in potatoes, beets, etc. Glucose- C6H12O6 Simple sugar used by plants Video Carbohydrate Carbohydrate 2. Lipids C, H, and O Store energy, membranes, waterproof coverings (plants) Fats, oils, waxes, steroids (hormones like testosterone) 1 Glycerol + 3 Fatty Acids (Triglyceride) Phospholipids Makes up plasma membranes Glycerol and 3 Fatty Acids Lipid structure 3. Proteins N, C, H, O Building blocks of life Units: Amino Acids When 2 or more amino acids join to form a protein they connect by a Peptide Bond 2 amino acids make a dipeptide Many amino acids make a polypeptide Amino Acids forming Dipeptide Proteins Examples Insulin-enzyme that controls the amount of blood sugar Hemoglobin- protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen Enzymes are Proteins!! Biological catalysts Speed up reactions Proteins (End in “-ase”) Must be activated to work Lower Activation Energy Inhibitors Slow down reactions by changing the activation site’s shape (toxins) Raise activation energy Lock and Key Model of Enzymes (proteins) Enzyme video For enzymes to work a key must fit into a lock (just like a car key) Substrate-key Activation site on the enzyme-lock 4. Nucleic Acids H, O, N, C, P Store/Transmit Heredity Only 2: DNA and RNA Units: Nucleotides: 5-Carbon Sugar Phosphate Nitrogenous Base Nucleic Acid Video Nucleic Acids RNA DNA Nucleotide Which of the following are building blocks of carbohydrates? 1. 2. 3. 4. Amino acids 3 fatty acids and a glycerol Monosaccharide None of these Food Tests Sugars-Benedict’s Solution-Red Starch-Iodine-Blue and Black Protein-Biuret’s Solution-Pinkish Purple Lipids-Clear spot spreads outwards on paper Identify the following as a carbohydrate, lipid, protein, nucleic acid or inorganic substance also tell the building block of each 1. DNA 2. Enzyme 3. Muscle 4. Glucose 5. Monosaccharide 6. Wax 7. Cellulose 8. starch 9. glycogen 10. amino acid 11. fatty acids and a glycerol 12. glass 13. mineral 14. hemoglobin 15. steroid
