Macromolecules (large molecules):

CarbohydratesLipidsProteinsNucleic Acids

These are Polymers (many parts)

constructed of Monomers (single part)

monomer

How to Connect Monomers-

Hydrolysis- Breaking apart polymer

Adding water molecule

Connecting Monomers-

Dehydration reaction




Dehydration reactionjoining monomersloss of water molecule




Dehydration reactionthis takes energy




Dehydration reactionthis means energy must be added in order for the reaction to occur

Putting together



Breaking apart polymersHydrolysis- (break w/ water)


Creating Monomers-

Hydrolysis reactionthis gives off energy when this happens

CarbohydratesCarbohydratesLipidsProteinsNucleic Acids

Carbohydrates-

Fuel - stores energy

functions:

Building material - >

in plantsin plants = cellulose (cell wall) in animalsin animals = chitin (insect/ lobster covering)

Carbohydrates- types:

1)MonosaccharidesSingle Sugar

MonosaccharidesStructure: Single SugarFunction: Fuel for cell work

ex. glucose - blood sugar fructose - fruit sugar

lactose - ??

Monosaccharides - structure:

multiple of CH2O

ex. glucose C6H12O6

Disaccharides

Two sugar monomers joined by dehydration synthesis

Disaccharides

Two sugar monomers joined by dehydration synthesis - JOIN / SPIT

OH-

Disaccharides

Two sugar monomers joined by dehydration synthesis

ex. sucrose - table sugar

PolysaccharidesMany monomers

PolysaccharidesMany monomers

Functions:

•1) Energy storage=

•starch (plant)starch (plant)

•glycogen (animal)

PolysaccharidesMany monomersFunctions:

•1) Energy storage=

2) Structural support = cellulose

Lipids-Lipids-

Types:

1) Fat~ triglyceride

2) Phospholipid~ cell membranes

3) Steriod

4) Wax

Lipids-Lipids-

Structure = have a higher ratio of C & H than Oxygen

They HATE water

Therefore, are they polar or nonpolar?

Lipids- (hydrophobic)

1) Fats (triglyceride)1) Fats (triglyceride) - functions:

-energy storage

-cushion internal organs

-insulation

Types of Lipids: Fats- structure1 Glycerol

Fatty acid chain = hydrophobic

•Energy storage

•Cushion

Types of Lipids: Fats- structure Glycerol

Fatty acid chain = hydrophobic

•Energy storage

•Cushion

+3 fatty acid chains

2)2)PhospholipidsPhospholipids-- structure

1 hydrophilic head

2 hydrophobic tails

3)3) Steroids Steroids--

4 Fused (connected) “rings”

cholesterol, testosterone, estrogen

4) 4) WaxWax--

Long CH2 chain

Proteins-Monomer = amino acid

Polymer of amino acids = polypeptides-

Proteins-function depends on shape:

1)support

2)structure

3) enzymes

Nucleic Acids-

DNA

RNA

Programs ALL organism function

Nucleic Acids-

Composed of: nitrogen base, sugar,

phosphate group

= NUCLEOTIDE
