Organic Molecules make up all organisms

What does “Organic” Mean?
In Biology, organic means “relating to organisms.”
NOT food grown without the use of pesticides, antibiotics, or other industrial chemicals.
What do all organic compounds contain?CARBON
All organic molecules contain covalently bonded Carbon.

What does “Organic” Mean?
Carbon cycles through all living things through the processes of photosynthesis, cellular respiration, death, and decomposition.
We’ll talk more about the Carbon Cycle in a few weeks!

• Carbon can bond to other carbon atoms, which gives carbon the ability to form chains that are almost unlimited in length.
• These carbon-carbon bonds can be single, double, or triple.• The chains can be straight, branched, or even ring-shaped. • Therefore, carbon is unique in that it can form millions of
different large and complex structures.
Why Carbon is so Awesome...
How many bonds/shared electrons can a Carbon atom make?
4

How are the Four Organic Macromolecules Formed?
Dehydration synthesis: joins molecules by removing a molecule of water.
Polymerization: small units (monomers) are joined together to form large units (polymers.)
Hydrolysis: breaks apart molecules by adding water (the opposite process)
Monomer + monomer =Polymer!

What are the four organic molecules?
Carbohydrates
Proteins
Lipids

We get from food!
Resides (stays) in our cells!

CarbohydratesWhich part of the cheeseburger has
the most carbohydrates?
![Page 11: Organic Compounds Essential Questions: What is “Organic?” What are the 4 major Organic Compounds? How are they made? What are they used for?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062806/5697bf951a28abf838c90e67/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Carbohydrates
• Composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen in a 1:2:1 Ratio.• Used for short term energy storage (quick energy!) and structural
support• Ending “-ose” = sugar
How many sugars? Examples
1 sugar Monosaccharide Monomer Plants: glucose, fructose Animals: galactose (milk)
2 sugars Disaccharide Polymer Plants: sucrose, maltoseAnimals: lactose (milk)
3+ sugars Polysaccharide Polymer Plants: starch, cellulose Animals: glycogen
Glucose Cellulose
Starch

Monomer + monomer =Polymer!
One sugar =
Two sugars =
Three or more sugars =
Monosaccharide!
Polysaccharide!
Polysaccharide!

Why Carbohydrates?• Many animals store extra sugar as glycogen.
– Glycogen stored in your muscles supplies energy for movement.
– Glycogen stored in your liver is released when the glucose (sugar) in your blood runs low.• Recall: What is this an example of?
– Homeostasis!
• Plants store excess sugar as starch. • Plants also make cellulose, a strong, rigid fiber
used for support. Starch, cellulose and glycogen are all… Polysaccharides!

What other part of the Big N’ Tasty is composed of
carbohydrates?
Cellulose!

Which part of the cheeseburger is the best
source of protein?
![Page 16: Organic Compounds Essential Questions: What is “Organic?” What are the 4 major Organic Compounds? How are they made? What are they used for?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062806/5697bf951a28abf838c90e67/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ProteinsProteins are present in every cell, tissue and organ in our bodies.
These proteins are constantly being broken
down and replaced.
Composed of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen,
Nitrogen, and Sulfur
Provide structure for:cells, bones, muscles, tissues, organs, hormones…most everything in the body!
Special Function: Proteins are responsible for cell metabolism (via enzymes)
![Page 17: Organic Compounds Essential Questions: What is “Organic?” What are the 4 major Organic Compounds? How are they made? What are they used for?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062806/5697bf951a28abf838c90e67/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ProteinsThe protein in the food we
eat is digested (broken down) into amino acids that are later used to build and
replace other proteins in our bodies.
Monomers = amino acids
Polymers = proteins
When the amino acids join, they form a polymer called a
polypeptide. The monomers in an amino acid are held together by peptide bonds.
Proteins can be destroyed by extreme heat (fever) = denature
![Page 18: Organic Compounds Essential Questions: What is “Organic?” What are the 4 major Organic Compounds? How are they made? What are they used for?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062806/5697bf951a28abf838c90e67/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Protein Structure
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
There are 20 essential amino acids.
All amino acids have the same Amino group and carboxyl groups, but each amino acid has its own unique R- group. Only 20 amino acids can combine in different arrangements to form all of the many different kinds of proteins in our bodies!
Shape is very important; if a protein is not the right shape, it will not work or only have partial function!
![Page 19: Organic Compounds Essential Questions: What is “Organic?” What are the 4 major Organic Compounds? How are they made? What are they used for?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062806/5697bf951a28abf838c90e67/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Which part of the cheeseburger is a source
of fat?
![Page 20: Organic Compounds Essential Questions: What is “Organic?” What are the 4 major Organic Compounds? How are they made? What are they used for?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062806/5697bf951a28abf838c90e67/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What is fat?• Fats are a type of lipid.• Lipids are hydrophobic
(water-fearing) organic molecule including fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids.
![Page 21: Organic Compounds Essential Questions: What is “Organic?” What are the 4 major Organic Compounds? How are they made? What are they used for?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062806/5697bf951a28abf838c90e67/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Lipids
Monomers: 1 glycerol & 3 fatty acid chainsPolymer: lipid
If we know that lipids (fat) are hydrophobic and take a long time to break down, what could it be useful for??
Long chains with lots of Carbon and Hydrogen (long chains), but little or
no oxygen
– Long term energy storage– Protection– Insulation– Waterproofing– Cell Membranes– Chemical Messengers
(steroids)
![Page 22: Organic Compounds Essential Questions: What is “Organic?” What are the 4 major Organic Compounds? How are they made? What are they used for?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062806/5697bf951a28abf838c90e67/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Lipids come in two flavors…Saturated: Single Bonds• Animal Fats • Harder to digest• Solids at room temperature• Holds as many Hydrogen atoms as possible
Your Turn! Make a quick hypothesis to why Unsaturated Fats are easier to break down (thus healthier for you) than Saturated Fats!It is easier for your body to break double bonds than single bonds due to the number of electrons. Aka, it’s easier to steal 1 electron from Carbon when it is sharing two versus just that one! (Like borrowing money!)
Unsaturated: Double Bonds• Vegetable Oils • Easier to digest• Liquids at room Temperature• Does not hold as many hydrogen
atoms as possible

How do nucleic acids relate to the
cheeseburger?
DNA RNA Proteins!
DNA Is transcribed into
RNA,which is then
translated into proteins.

Organic molecules are the building blocks of life
They are broken down into monomers,
then rebuilt into polymers, then broken down again, then rebuilt
again! And so life goes on…
