Carbon-based Molecules
•Although a cell is mostly water, the rest of the cell consists mostly of carbon-based molecules
2
Organic chemistry is the study of all compounds that contain C – C bonds

Carbon is a Versatile Atom
• Two reasons why carbon is so important:
• 1. It has four electrons in an outer shell - so carbon can share its electrons with 4 OTHER atoms

2. Carbon can use its bonds to attach to other CARBONS to form an endless
diversity of carbon skeletons

Proteins
• monomers = amino acids (20 of them)
24
Proteins are used by the body in many ways:
•catalysts
•structure (building)
•transport
•contracting (muscles)

Proteins as Enzymes (Catalyst)
• Many proteins act as catalysts or enzymes – they make chemical reactions go faster.
26
Thousands of different enzymes exist in the body.
Enzymes fold into specific shapes so that they can “recognize” their substrate.

Substrates are the reactants that enzymes work on
28
Enzymes provide a site where reactants come together to react!

Enzyme Key Points:
30
• Enzymes make reactions go FASTER
• Enzymes are NOT used up
• Enzymes are SPECIFIC
• Enzymes are sensitive to temperature and pH

Denaturating Proteins
31
Changes in temperature & pH can denature (unfold) a protein so it
no longer worksCooking denatures protein in eggs
Milk protein separates into curds & whey when it denatures
