BiochemistryChapter 2 Sections 3 & 4
Carbon Why is carbon so special?
Atomic # 6 4 valence electrons
Electrons in outermost shell that are available for bonds
Can make up to 4 covalent bonds When electrons are shared
Building block for the biomolecules of life!

Macromolecules Every macromolecule has
Monomer Single unit of a whole
Polymer Many units or monomers bonded together
DELICIOUS CARBOHYDRATES
Carbohydrates Made of carbon, hydrogen, & oxygen
Unique 1:2:1 pattern Used for energy mostly and sometimes
for structure in plants Monomer: monosaccharide 2 monomers: disaccharide Polymer: polysaccharide
Units of Carbs There are 3 monosaccharides
Glucose – our energy source Fructose - sweetener Galactose – not as common
There are 3 polysaccharides Glycogen – how we store carbs Starch – how plants store carbs Cellulose – structure in plants

LIPIDS (FATS & OILS)
Lipids Made of carbon & hydrogen Does not dissolve in water Four types of lipids
Triglycerides Phospholipids Waxes Steroids
Triglycerides - FATS Saturated Fat
Have no double bonds in their fatty acid chains – maximum # of H atoms Straight chain
Usually animal fats Solid at room temperature
Triglycerides
Triglycerides – OILS Unsaturated Fat
Have at least one double bond in their fatty acid chain Forms a kink in the chain
Usually oils and from plants Liquid at room temperature

Phospholipid Two fatty acid chains Found in all cells Makes up the cell membrane 2 layers of phospholipids lipid
bilayer
Phospholipid Bilayer
Wax One fatty acid chain to a glycerol Makes cells waterproof Create protective layer in animals and
plants
Steroids No fatty acid chain Four carbon rings linked together Usually our hormones Ex: Cholesterol is found in our cell
membranes

NUCLEIC ACID
Nucleic Acids Contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen,
nitrogen, and phosphorus
Nucleic Acids Monomer = nucleotide
5 carbon sugar Phosphorous group Nitrogenous base
Properties Store genetic information Two kinds of nucleic acids
DNA RNA
PROTEIN
Protein Macromolecules with carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen Monomer: amino acid 2 monomers: dipeptide Polymer: polypeptide
Amino Acids Each amino acid has three main groups
Amino group Carboxyl group R group (changes)
Change the shape and properties of the amino acid
Amino Acid
Glycine
R group The R group makes each amino acid
different There are 20 possible amino acids
based off this one group The R group is = variable
Proteins Covalent bond in proteins
is called a peptide bond Links amino acids
together For every peptide bond,
one molecule of water is formed

Chemical Reaction A process the changes
one set of chemicals into another
Reactants Elements or compounds
that enter or start a chemical reaction
Products Elements or compounds
that leave or end a chemical reaction
Reactants Products
Energy Sources Organisms need to carry
our reactions that require energy Plants make their energy
from the sun, animals get their energy from foods eaten
Activation energy The energy needed to
start a reaction
Enzymes Enzyme is a type of protein that is a
catalyst Catalysts start a reaction
Without enzymes, reactions would take happen too slow to sustain life’s functions
Three functions Start a reaction Speed up a reaction Lower activation energy
Enzymes Each enzyme has an area known as the
active site Where a specific molecule binds and a
reaction occurs The molecule binding is called a
substrate Similar to a lock and key
Enzyme conditions Enzymes work at a specific conditions
Temperature pH
If not in desired conditions, this causes enzyme to change shape and lose its function Called denaturation

Fold it! Help scientists figure out protein folding This game is open to the public The first hundred puzzles are known
proteins But many proteins are not decoded and
scientists are asking for our help to figure them out
