Unit #2 – Biological Molecules: What are the building blocks of life? On the following slides, the yellow sections are the main points; summarize the slides in your notebooks. Underlined words = vocabulary! K • List the things you know about the 4 biomolecules: • • • • Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins and Nucleic Acids W • Review the difference between inorganic and organic molecules. • The meaning of monomer and polymer. • The structure and function of the 4 biomolecules. • Role of enzymes in cells and the body. L Levels of Molecular Organization Atom Element Molecule (2+ atoms) Compound (2+ elements) Cell (Both organic & inorganic compounds) Types of Compounds Txbk Ref pg. 157-158 Organic compounds - contain the element carbon (C) and are found in living things; with four valence electrons, carbon atoms can bond with numerous other atoms to create complex compounds. Inorganic compounds without carbon and are associated with non-living things. http://biobook.nerinxhs.org/bb/cells/biochemistry/1000px-Carbone_lewis.svg.png Examples of Inorganic Molecules CO2 water most important inorganic compound in living things most cellular processes take place in water solutions http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/images/molecul2.gif excellent solvent (many substances dissolve in water) Monomers vs. Polymers Txbk Ref pg. 158 The biomolecules found in living things are composed of hundreds of atoms, sometimes more (AKA macromolecules). Cells create these by joining smaller molecules in to chains called polymers. [Greek polys = many, meros = part] A polymer is a large molecule composed of identical subunits called monomers. http://www.hsc.csu.edu.au/senior_science/options/polymers/2973/images/Fig_9513.jpg Organic Molecules lipids proteins nucleic acids carbohydrates Carbohydrates Txbk Ref pg. 158-159 Contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in the ratio 1:2:1 (C:H:O) are made by plants (autotrophs) are the body’s primary source of energy are made of monomers called monosaccharides (meaning “1” + “sugar”). Two basic forms: Monosaccharides Polysaccharides Carbohydrates Cont. Monosaccharides (simple sugars) are easily identified by their sweet taste. Glucose is a monosaccharide [C6H12O6]. Other monosaccharides: galactose (milk sugar) and fructose (fruit sugar) Note the ring shape of the molecule. Carbohydrates Cont. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made of long chains of monosaccharides. Starches (found in roots [potatoes] and other tissues in plants) Cellulose (found in plant cell walls) Glycogen (found in the liver and muscles of animals) Sucrose (table sugar) is an example of a sugar with only two monosaccharides, a disaccharide. http://www.neocate.com/images/uploads/from_wordpress/Carbs-Pic.bmp Carbohydrates Review Remember that monomers make up polymers. What is the monomer (or subunit) for complex carbohydrates? Observe the diagram and turn and talk to your neighbor to answer the question. http://www.goldiesroom.org/Multimedia/Bio_Images/04%20Biochemistry/12%20Structure%20of %20Glucose.jpg Lipids Txbk Ref pg. 160 Chemically diverse organic compounds; contain C, H, O atoms Found within the cell membrane; used for long-term energy storage Classified as hydrophobic (insoluble in water) Insoluble in water Two basic forms: Unsaturated liquid at room temperature w/ double bonds Saturated solid at room temp, unhealthy EX fats, waxes, also steroids (serve as chemical messengers) Lipids Cont. Made up of: glycerol + fatty acids chains H H C O Note the molecular structure “E” shape O H H H H H H H H H H H H H H C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C H H H H H H H H H H H H H O H H H H H H H H H H H H H H C O C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C H H H H H H H H H H H H H O H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H C O H C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C H H H H H H H H H H H H H http://thescienceofeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Book-Fats-Butter-Oils-2.jpg Lipids Review The fatty acid chain of the lipids is often referred to as a hydrocarbon chain. Why? Observe the diagram and turn and talk to your neighbor to answer the question. Proteins Txbk Ref pg. 160-163 Very complex organic compounds made up of linked fight disease transport substances http://www.mcqbiology.com/2012/11/mcq-on-biochemistry-proteins.html amino acids (monomer); contain C, O, H, N and usually S atoms AKA polypeptide Needed for essential life activities in the body Proteins Cont. An enzyme is a protein which functions to increase rates in chemical reactions. Proteins are found in muscles, hair, cartilage, nails. http://www.chem4kids.com/files/art/bio_enzyme1.gif Proteins Cont. a carboxyl group are made up of: an amino group and an “R” group which varies in the different amino acids http://www.whitetigernaturalmedicine.com/wpcontent/uploads/2012/02/amino-acid-structure.jpg http://media.coreperformance.com/images/411*308/knowledge-protein1.jpg Proteins Review There are 20 naturally-occurring amino acids, and each one only varies in the structure of the R side chain. Two amino acids are shown in the diagram. What are the R side chains in each? Talk to your neighbor to answer the question. Nucleic Acids Txbk Ref pg. 163 Large, linear macromolecules made of linked nucleotides (monomer); contain H, O, C, N, and P atoms. Store genetic information in living things Helps carry instructions for building proteins EX DNA and RNA http://knowgenetics.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Bio-1-e1354321656394.png Nucleic Acids Cont. Nucleotides contain: A sugar A phosphate A nitrogenous base, of which there are four: Adenine Thymine Cytosine Guanine Chemical Reactions Txbk Ref pg. 147-148 A chemical reaction is a process that changes one set of chemicals into another set the breaking of chemical bonds and recombination of atoms in to different substances. Reactants are the items that you begin with (the left of the arrow). Products are the items up end up with (the right of the arrow). When you eat a burger, your body has to process and change the carbohydrates and other molecules into parts the body can use. Enzymes Txbk Ref pg. 161-163, 918-921 http://www.austincc.edu/apreview/NursingPics/DigestivePics/Picture31.jpg An enzyme [typically ending in –ASE] is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst. They work in cells to speed up chemical reactions. The enzyme attaches to a specific substrate and react to produce products. Examine the graphic to the right which shows the digestion of proteins in the intestine. Specific enzymes work to break the peptide bonds between amino acids and then free amino acids can enter the blood stream. Enzymes Cont. Factors that can affect enzymes are: Temperature pH Concentration The Lock & Key Model Txbk Ref Figure 6.23 pg. 162 Specific enzymes will only work on specific substrates; enzymes attach at the “active site” that matches the substrate . EX Salivary amylase attaches to starch Maltase attaches to the sugar maltose Pepsin attaches to proteins http://stezlab1.unl.edu/reu1999/dputn226/ChemHelp/RET_Web_Pages/Enzymes/lock_key1.gif http://waynesword.palomar.edu/images/enzyme5.gif Video K • List the things you know about the 4 biomolecules: • • • • Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins and Nucleic Acids W • Review the difference between inorganic and organic molecules. • The meaning of monomer and polymer. • The structure and function of the 4 biomolecules. • Role of enzymes in cells and the body.
