1. Explain the connection between a monomer and a polymer.

What molecule is released during the construction of a polymer? What is this reaction called?

1) Carbohydrates1) Carbohydrates Sugars C,H,O Store energy Hydrophilic

(“water-loving”)

Monosaccharides

Monomer of carbs (1 sugar molecule)

simple sugars glucose, fructose, galactose

Disaccharides

Double sugarsFormed by dehydration synthesisSucroseLactoseMaltose

Polysaccharides

Giant polymers of linked monosaccharides

Starch (plants)Glycogen (animals)Cellulose (“fiber”)

2) LipidsHydrophobic (“water-fearing”)C,H,OStore energyExamples:

FatsOilsWaxesSteroids

Chemistry of Fats

Composed of: 3 fatty acids 1 glycerol molecule

saturated vs. unsaturated

Let’s Review Carbs & Lipids

What is the difference between a monosaccharide and a disaccharide? Give an example of each.

How do animals store excess glucose molecules?

What property do lipids share? What are the parts of a fat molecule? What does the term unsaturated fat

on a food label mean?

3) Proteins

Proteins-Composed of C, H, O, N, and sometimes S

-monomers are amino acids

Structure of Amino Acid 20 different amino acids Each contain:

Amino group (NH2) Carboxyl group (COOH) Side group (R group)

Polypeptide Amino acids link together to

make a polypeptide (i.e. a protein) * see p. 101

Peptide bond-Covalent bond between two

amino acidsFormed by dehydration synthesisSee animation

Peptide bond

Protein Shape

Yarn & Sweater example What influences protein shape?

Sequence of amino acids Surrounding environment

Denaturation- Protein unravels & loses shape

Enzymes- a type of proteinSpeed up chemical

reactions (catalysts)

i.e. Amylase

(saliva)

Enzymes lower activation energy

Activation Energy-

Substrate is what is changed

Enzyme binds to substrate at the active site
