Molecules of Life

Slide 2

Contain carbon

Slide 3

Outer shell of carbon has 4 electrons (AKA tetravalent); can hold 8 Each carbon atom can form covalent bonds with up to four other atoms This electron structure allows carbon to bond with itself easily as well as other atoms (creates a wide variety & abundance or organic compounds)

Slide 12

Large molecules made of many similar smaller building blocks called MONOMERS Are formed and broken by adding or removing water

Slide 13

The loss of water Monomers bond together to make polymers Requires energy (endothermic)

Slide 14

Condensation Fig. 3-6a, p.38

Slide 15

Adds water Breaks polymers into monomers Gives off energy (exothermic) Ex: digestion

Slide 16

Hydrolysis Fig. 3-6b, p.38

Slide 17

Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids

Slide 18

The bodys main source of energy Monomer is a monosaccharide Contain carbonyl functional group

Slide 21

Type of oligosaccharide Two monosaccharides covalently bonded by a Glycosidic Bond Formed by condensation reaction Ex: sucrose and maltose (isomers) + H 2 O glucosefructose sucrose Fig. 3-7b, p.38

Slide 22

Straight or branched chains of many sugar monomers linked by condensation Most are for structural or storage purposes Ex: Cellulosein plant cell wall Starch (such as amylose)sugar storage in plants Glycogensugar storage in animal muscle & liver cells (when blood sugar drops, glycogen is broken down to glucose) Chitinin arthropod exoskeleton & fungal cell wall

Slide 27

Fats Phospholipids Waxes steroids Tend to be insoluble in water (hydrophobic)

Slide 28

Monomer is 3 Fatty acid(s) attached to glycerol Triglycerides are most common Linked by ester bonds Fig. 3-12, p.40

Slide 29

Carboxyl group (-COOH) at one end Carbon backbone (up to 36 C atoms) Saturated - Single bonds between carbons with max. amt. of H Unsaturated - One or more double C bonds

Slide 30

Three Fatty Acids Fig. 3-11, p.40

Slide 31

Main components of cell membrane Monomer is 1 glycerol + Fatty acids

Slide 32

No fatty acids four fused-together carbon rings with hydrocarbon tail Ex:Cholesterol & hormones such as cortisol, testosterone, estrogen, and adrenaline Fig. 3-14, p.41

Slide 39

Linear Sequence of amino acids Two linked amino acids = dipeptide Three or more = polypeptide Backbone of polypeptide has N atoms: -N-C-C-N-C-C-N-C-C-N- one peptide group

Slide 40

a Normal amino acid sequence at the start of a beta change for hemoglobin VALINE HISTIDINELEUCINETHREONINEPROLINEGLUTAMATE Fig. 3-18a, p.45

Slide 41

VALINE HISTIDINELEUCINETHREONINEPROLINEVALINEGLUTAMATE b One amino acid substitution results in the abnormal beta chain in HbS molecules. During protein synthesis, valine was added instead of glutamate at the sixth position of the growing polypeptide chain. Fig. 3-18b, p.45

Slide 42

c Glutamate has an overall negative charge; valine has no net charge. The difference gives rise to a water-repellant, sticky patch on HbS molcules. They stick together because of that patch, forming rod- shaped clumps that distort normally rounded red blood cells into sickle shapes. (A sickle is a farm tool that has a crescent-shaped blade.) sickle cell normal cell Fig. 3-18c, p.45

Slide 43

Hydrogen bonds form between different parts of polypeptide chain These bonds give rise to coiled or extended pattern Alpha Helix or beta pleated sheet

Slide 44

Slide 45

Folding as a result of interactions between R groups Involves disulfide bonds heme group coiled and twisted polypeptide chain of one globin molecule
