Examination• Look at your hand. What do you see? What if you

zoomed in? What’s the smallest thing you could see?• Your hand is made of cells, which are made of molecules, which

are made of atoms. But where did they all come from? How did they get there?

Page 3: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Food!• We are, quite literally, what we eat!

• Almost every atom in every molecule in every cell in our bodies came from food (a little bit came from water and air), so what we eat IS matter AND matters!

Page 4: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Molecules• And the food we eat is made of molecules

• A molecule is a group of atoms that are stuck together and most atoms are found in molecules

Page 5: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

The 4 Types of Macromolecules• There are 4 main kinds of molecules (besides water) in

the foods that we eat. They are all ORGANIC (alive). What are they?

•Carbohydrates•Lipids•Proteins•Nucleic Acids

Page 6: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Nucleic Acids• Found in ALL living things—allow them to pass on traits

from parents to offspring (heredity)• There are 2 kinds. What are they?

RNA (ribonucleic acid)

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)

Page 7: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

RNASingle stranded

Sugar is ribose

Bases are A, C, G & U

Page 8: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

DNADouble stranded

Sugar is deoxyribose

Bases are A, C, G & T

Page 9: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Function

Store genetic info (DNA) and transcribe and translate it into protein (RNA)

Page 10: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Monomer that makes them up

nucleotides

Page 11: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Elements found in them

•Oxygen•Hydrogen•Carbon•Phosphorus•Nitrogen

Page 12: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Foods they’re in?

EVERYTHING!

Page 13: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Proteins• What our bodies are mostly MADE OF—we are made of

protein, just like the animals we eat for protein are (cows, chickens, fish, etc).• What is the building block (monomer) that makes them up?

Sketch and label the parts

How many are there?

Only 20 in humans, but they make up MILLIONS of different proteins!

Amino Acids

Elements in proteins

Carbon

Hydrogen

Nitrogen

Oxygen

Page 15: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

What do they look like?

Most complicated type of

macromolecule BY FAR!!!

Page 16: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Examples of Proteins

Keratin

collagen

Page 17: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Indicator• Biuret

Protein-Heavy Foods

From animal sources From vegetable sources

Page 19: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

4 Types of Proteins

•Transporting—hemoglobin moves oxygen•Structural—collagen makes up skin•Enzymatic—amylase breaks down starch•Signaling—insulin tells cells to take in sugar

Page 20: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Lipids (fats)• Several kinds

• Unsaturated• Saturated• Trans fats

Which are healthiest? Least healthy??

HEALTHIEST—unsaturated

LESS HEALTHY—saturated

THE WORST!!!—trans fats

Page 21: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

What it looks like• Look for zig-zag TAILS (fatty acid chains)

Page 22: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Unsaturated Fats• NOT saturated in hydrogen (at least one double bond)

Page 23: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Saturated Fats• SATURATED in hydrogen (no double bonds in chains)

Page 24: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Trans Fats

Created in a LABORATORY—chemists turn liquid fats into more stable solid fats

Page 25: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Unsaturated fats in foods• Usually LIQUID at room temp• Mostly from VEGETABLE SOURCES

Page 26: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Saturated fats in foods• Usually SOLID at room temp• Mostly from ANIMAL SOURCES (less legs is better!)

Page 27: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Trans fats in food

Look on label for “partially hydrogenated oils”—0 g trans fats does NOT mean NO trans trans fats!!!

Page 28: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Elements in Lipids

Hydrogen

Oxygen

Carbon

Page 29: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Function of Lipids• Part of cell membrane • Needed to make hormones• Provide long term energy storage

Page 30: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Indicator

Page 31: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Carbohydrates• Referred to as “carbs”—their ONLY job is to give you

energy—can be small/simple or much more complex

Page 32: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Monosaccharides (simple sugars)• “one sugar”—each is a SINGLE RING

Page 33: CELLULAR CHEMISTRY Chemicals Matter—You’re Made of Them! By: Heidi Hisrich.

Examples of monosaccharides

GLUCOSE FRUCTOSE

Dissacharides• “Two sugars”—double rings
