T or F
The fatty acid molecules are connected
to a backbone glycerol molecule in a lipid
molecules.

Structure of Proteins
• One of four classes of
macromolecules.
• Functions of proteins.
• A polymer composed of
many monomers (amino
acids)
• Peptides are short or
incomplete proteins.
Structure of
Proteins
• Typical amino acid.

–
Carbon
Carboxyl group
Hydrogen
Amine group
Radical
• Amino acids are linked by
dehydration synthesis.
• Peptide bond is formed by
water molecule being
extracted.
Structure of Proteins
• Proteins are formed of
polypeptide chains.
• Proteins have four levels
of structure.
• Primary structure is
determined by amino acid
sequence and length.
Structure of Proteins
• Secondary structure
results from near neighbor
interaction.
• Tertiary structure results
from amino acid
interaction with water.
• Quarternary structure
results from polypeptide
interaction.
Structure of Enzymes
• Free energy is
energy within a
cell to do work.
• A reaction that
produces more
free energy
than it uses is
exergonic.
• A reaction the
uses more free
energy is
endergonic.
Activation Energy
• Necessary input
of energy for
reaction to
proceed.
• Catalysis is the
stressing of
chemical bonds
so as to require
less activation
energy.
• Organic
catalysts are
enzymes.
How Enzymes Speed
Up Reactions
• Speed up reactions
by
– Increase the
frequency of
collisions.
– Position substrate
molecules.

ATP: Energy
Currency
• Metabolism
refers to sum of
all energy use in
the cell or body.
– Energy use is
necessary to maintain
organization.
– Energy is also needed
for growth and
reproduction.

ATP: Energy
Currency
• ATP acts as
the cell’s
battery.
– Capable of
storing
energy.
– Capable of

• Structure of the ATP
molecule.
– 1 Adenine molecule + 1
ribose = adenosine.
– 3 phosphates attached
in a string.
– High energy bonds
between the
phosphates.
• Energy is stored as high
energy covalent bonds
between the
phosphates.
Each high energy bond equals 7.3 Kcal/mole.

SCIENTIFIC METHOD
1. Starts with an observation and/or
question?
2. Develop a hypothesis that’s predicts an
outcome based on known information.
3. Design an experiment that will directly
test the hypothesis.
4. Based on experimental evidence either
support of reject the hypothesis.
Developing a Hypothesis
1. Use the “If”, “Then” format.
2. If (a certain condition exists),
Then (predict the results)
1)
2)
3)
If substrate concentration is increased,
Then reaction rate will increase.
If enzyme concentration is increased,
Then reaction rate will increase.
If temperature is increased,
Then reaction rate will increase.
