What’s an organic molecule??• Molecules made up of carbon atoms !!!!!
![Page 4: Organic Molecules](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163a5550346895dd4aafe/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Carbon – The Atom of All Organisms• Carbon atoms are unique in that they can
bond together and create large polymers or macromolecules
Single Bond- Double Bond Triple Bond

What’s a polymer?Polymers – Many Monomers
A monomer is a single unit such as this link in the entire chain.

Now, we will look at a few organic molecules and their functions
• Carbohydrates• Lipids• Nucleic Acids• Proteins
![Page 7: Organic Molecules](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163a5550346895dd4aafe/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Carbohydrates – C, H and O
![Page 8: Organic Molecules](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163a5550346895dd4aafe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Glucose and fructose are simple sugars called a monosaccharide – Both have the chemical formula C6H12O6
• A disaccharide, such as sucrose, contain 2 sugar monomers and a polysaccharide contain numerous…….Below is the polymer starch which is also a polysaccharide! What is the monomer??
![Page 9: Organic Molecules](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163a5550346895dd4aafe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Starch is a chain of hundreds of glucose monomers bonded together…..
Grains (wheat, rice, corn, oats, barley) as well as tubers such as potatoes are rich in
starch.

Glycogen in Animals**A branched polymer made up of numerous glucose monomers
** Stored in the Liver and muscle of mammals
**Long-term energy storage
** Quickly broken down into glucose for immediate energy
![Page 11: Organic Molecules](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163a5550346895dd4aafe/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cellulose - Storage in Plants
** Polymer of Glucose** Stored in Plant cells walls**Offers the plant support** Energy storage** Makes up cell wall ** Food source for seeds and plant bulbs

The differences in structures of carbohydrates – but remember all are
glucose polymers!!!

Lipids – C,H very little O
![Page 14: Organic Molecules](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163a5550346895dd4aafe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Fats
Only Carbon-Carbon single Bonds
Has Carbon-Carbon double Bonds
![Page 15: Organic Molecules](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163a5550346895dd4aafe/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Remember the cell membrane? Phospholipid bilayer!!! Semi-permeable, allowing only certain
molecules to diffuse across the membrane to enter or exit the cell.
![Page 16: Organic Molecules](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163a5550346895dd4aafe/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Steroids• One example is cholesterol
• Most of the cholesterol in our bodies is produced in the liver, though some of it comes from the foods we eat.
• The body needs some cholesterol • important to the body's cell
membranes • the production of certain
hormones• helps act as insulation for
your nerves.

Proteins – C,H,O,N sometimes sulfur
![Page 18: Organic Molecules](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163a5550346895dd4aafe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
** The basic building blocks of proteins are called amino acids.
**Remember protein synthesis????
**A peptide bond bonds amino acids together
**Creates a polypeptide

Insulin• Chemical signaler protein produced in the
pancreas• Causes cells in the liver, muscle, and fat tissue
to take up glucose from blood and convert it to glycogen that can be stored in the liver and muscles• Diabetes is a condition when a person has high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because insulin production is inadequate, or because the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, or both.

Hemoglobin• A protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen
![Page 21: Organic Molecules](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163a5550346895dd4aafe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Enzymes• Speed up the rate of a chemical reaction (a catalyst) by
lowering the energy needed to begin the reaction (Below)• Re-usable• Molecule specific – like a lock and key• -Example: ONLY Lactase will break down lactose.
It will NEVER break down proteins

***** Enzymes are substrate-specific !!!!!
Simple useable sugars (product)
Protein
Lipid
