Page 1: Intro: What is a Macromolecule? Organic molecules all contain Carbon. They are huge molecules called polymers and are subdivided into their basic units

Intro:What is a Macromolecule?

• Organic molecules all contain Carbon.

• They are huge molecules called polymers and are subdivided into their basic units called monomers. 

Page 2: Intro: What is a Macromolecule? Organic molecules all contain Carbon. They are huge molecules called polymers and are subdivided into their basic units

Macromolecules are made of many small subunits bonded together.

– Monomers are the individual subunits.

– Polymers are made of many monomers.

Page 3: Intro: What is a Macromolecule? Organic molecules all contain Carbon. They are huge molecules called polymers and are subdivided into their basic units

Carbon is the skeleton of all organic molecules!

•Carbon forms covalent bonds with up to four other atoms, including other carbon atoms.

•Carbon-based molecules have three general types of structures.

Carbohydrate Function

- Used for Energy

- Some provide structure

Page 11: Intro: What is a Macromolecule? Organic molecules all contain Carbon. They are huge molecules called polymers and are subdivided into their basic units

Carbohydrate Examples

Monosaccharides

Glucose - Blood Sugar

Deoxyribose - In DNA

Fructose - Fruit Sugar

Galactose - Milk Sugar

Lipids

Page 15: Intro: What is a Macromolecule? Organic molecules all contain Carbon. They are huge molecules called polymers and are subdivided into their basic units

Lipid Facts:

•Fats and oils are neutral, non-polar.

•Not soluble in water.

Page 16: Intro: What is a Macromolecule? Organic molecules all contain Carbon. They are huge molecules called polymers and are subdivided into their basic units

• A Neutral Fat is a Triglyceride

• 3 Tails of Fatty Acid are attached to One glycerol molecule.

• Fork-like shape:

Lipid Structure:

This is a model of 1 triglyceride (don’t write this).

SaturatedFatty Acid

UnsaturatedFatty Acid

How are oils different from fats?

Solid fat

Liquid oil

Page 20: Intro: What is a Macromolecule? Organic molecules all contain Carbon. They are huge molecules called polymers and are subdivided into their basic units

Saturated Fat Facts

• Saturated fats are solid at room temp.

• Fats come from animals.

• All Carbons are “saturated” with Hydrogen

• “Hydrogenated oils”

Page 21: Intro: What is a Macromolecule? Organic molecules all contain Carbon. They are huge molecules called polymers and are subdivided into their basic units

Unsaturated Fats/OIL Facts

• Some C=C bonds• Less Hydrogen, some

Carbons are unsaturated with H.

• Liquid at room temp.• Oils come from plants

Lipid FunctionsSix Functions of Lipids:

1. Long term energy storage

2. Insulation against heat loss (blubber)

3. Shock absorption

4. Prevents water loss

5. Chemical messengers ( steroid hormones)

6. Major component in membranes

(phospholipids)

Page 23: Intro: What is a Macromolecule? Organic molecules all contain Carbon. They are huge molecules called polymers and are subdivided into their basic units

Lipid Examples

1. Fats

2. Oils

3. Waxes (bees wax)

4. Phospholipids (cell membranes)

5. Steroids and cholesterol

Proteins

Page 25: Intro: What is a Macromolecule? Organic molecules all contain Carbon. They are huge molecules called polymers and are subdivided into their basic units

Proteins (Polypeptides)

-Amino acids: 20 different types

-Bonded together by a peptide bond to make polypeptides

Nucleic Acids

Page 32: Intro: What is a Macromolecule? Organic molecules all contain Carbon. They are huge molecules called polymers and are subdivided into their basic units

Nucleic Acids-Two Types:

- Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA - double helix)

- Ribonucleic acid (RNA - single strand)

- Nucleic acids are composed of long chains of nucleotides

Page 33: Intro: What is a Macromolecule? Organic molecules all contain Carbon. They are huge molecules called polymers and are subdivided into their basic units

- Nucleotides make up DNA

- DNA stores genetic information

- RNA builds proteins
