ORGANIC MOLECULES

OBJECTIVE: I WILL IDENTIFY THE 4 ORGANIC MACROMOLECULES AND DESCRIBE THE BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ALL 4. Drill:1. Copy the objective2. Circle the key words3. Define the words you circled.

CHECK THE NAMELESS AND GRADELESS WALL!

ORGANIC VS. INORGANIC Organic molecules

Contain carbon!!!!Examples: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins,

and nucleic acids Inorganic molecules

No carbonExamples: water, vitamins, minerals

CARBOHYDRATES Building blocks: Monosaccharide Function: quick energy, cells walls of

plants Examples: glucose, fructose, starch,

fiber, cellulose Structure: carbon – C , hydrogen – H ,

and oxygen – O (in a pentagon or hexagon shape); polar

GATORADE 01 - PRIME Gatorade Prime

LIPIDS Building blocks: fatty acids Function: store energy, make up cell

membranes Examples: Fats, oils, phospholipids,

steroids, waxes, cholesterol Structure: C, H, and O (in chains);

nonpolar

NO FAT IN GATORADE

WHY???

PROTEINS Building blocks: amino

acids Function: structural

proteins (make up skin, hair, bones, etc.), functional proteins (fight infections, break down substances, etc.)

Examples: enzymes, antibodies, collagen, hemoglobin

Structure: C, H, O, and Nitrogen (N); nonpolar or polar

GATORADE 03 - RECOVER Gatorade Recover

NUCLEIC ACID Building blocks: nucleotides

3 parts: Sugar (Deoxyribose, Ribose) Nitrogen Base

DNA: A-T, G-CRNA: A-U, G-C

Phosphate group Function: stores hereditary

info, make proteins Examples: DNA, RNA Structure: C, H, O, N, and

Phosphate (P); DNA 2 strands (double helix), RNA 1 strand

Made out of Butter???

PHOSPHOLIPIDS

STORES GENETIC INFORMATION

Cellulose

STORES ENERGY

DIETARY FIBER

A BODY BUILDER WOULD CONSUME A LOT OF THESE….

BUILDS AND REPAIRS TISSUES

PEPSIN AND LIPASE ARE ENZYMES IN THE BODY THAT DIGEST PROTEINS AND FATS.

CELL MEMBRANE STRUCTURE
