Elements of Life
• 96% of living organisms are made of: carbon (C) oxygen (O) hydrogen (H) nitrogen (N)
Goal 2.01: Biochemistry
![Page 3: find-happiness.com news.nationalgeographic.com upload.wikimedia.org stuffeducatedlatinoslike.files.wordpress.com.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7d5503460f94b7f5ab/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Put C, H, O, N together in different ways to build living organisms
• What are bodies made of?– carbohydrates
• sugars & starches
– fats (lipids) – proteins– nucleic acids
• DNA, RNA
Molecules of Life

Why do we eat?• We eat to take in more of these chemicals
– Food for building materials• to make more of us (cells)• for growth• for repair
– Food to make energy• calories• to make ATP
ATP

Don’t forget water
• Water– 65% of your body is H2O
– water is inorganic • doesn’t contain carbon
• Rest of you is made of carbon molecules– organic molecules
• carbohydrates• proteins• fats• nucleic acids
![Page 6: find-happiness.com news.nationalgeographic.com upload.wikimedia.org stuffeducatedlatinoslike.files.wordpress.com.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7d5503460f94b7f5ab/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Building large molecules of life• Chain together smaller molecules
– building block molecules = monomers
• Big molecules built from little molecules– polymers

– glycogen• energy storage in animals
– in liver & muscles
– cellulose• structure in plants
– cell walls
– chitin • structure in arthropods & fungi
– exoskeleton

Cellulose • Cell walls in plants
– herbivores can digest cellulose well– most carnivores cannot digest cellulose
• that’s why they eat meat to get their energy & nutrients
• cellulose = roughage– stays undigested– keeps material
moving in your intestines
![Page 19: find-happiness.com news.nationalgeographic.com upload.wikimedia.org stuffeducatedlatinoslike.files.wordpress.com.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7d5503460f94b7f5ab/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

– BACTERIA live in their stomachs & help digest cellulose-rich (grass) meals

Lipids • Examples– fats– oils– waxes– hormones
• sex hormones– testosterone (male)– estrogen (female)
![Page 23: find-happiness.com news.nationalgeographic.com upload.wikimedia.org stuffeducatedlatinoslike.files.wordpress.com.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7d5503460f94b7f5ab/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Lipids
• Function:– Long-term energy storage
• very concentrated• twice the energy as carbohydrates!
– cell membrane– cushions organs– insulates body
• think whale blubber!

Molecular Structure of Fat
not a chain (polymer) = just a “big fat molecule”
1 double bond = unsaturated
More than 1 double bond = polyunsaturated
![Page 25: find-happiness.com news.nationalgeographic.com upload.wikimedia.org stuffeducatedlatinoslike.files.wordpress.com.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7d5503460f94b7f5ab/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Saturated fats• Most animal fats
– solid at room temperature
• Limit the amount in your diet– contributes to heart
disease – deposits in arteries
![Page 26: find-happiness.com news.nationalgeographic.com upload.wikimedia.org stuffeducatedlatinoslike.files.wordpress.com.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7d5503460f94b7f5ab/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Unsaturated fats• Plant, vegetable & fish fats
– liquid at room temperature
• the fat molecules don’t stack tightlytogether
• Better choice in your diet
![Page 27: find-happiness.com news.nationalgeographic.com upload.wikimedia.org stuffeducatedlatinoslike.files.wordpress.com.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7d5503460f94b7f5ab/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Other lipids in biology• Cholesterol
– good molecule in cell membranes– make hormones from it
• including sex hormones
– but too much cholesterol in blood may lead to heart disease

Good vs. Bad Cholesterol
Total Cholesterol Levels < 200LDL = BAD!
Needs to be below 100HDL = GOOD!!
Needs to be 60 or aboveTriglycerides = BAD!
Needs to be 150 or below

Other lipids in biology
• Cell membranes are made out of lipids– phospholipids– heads are on the outside touching water
• “like” water– tails are on inside away from water
• “scared” of water– forms a barrier
between the cell & the outside

Functions of Proteins:

Proteins perform many, many functions. Here are just a few…

Proteins are amino acid chains
• Proteins – amino acids chained into a polymer
Each amino acid is different some “like” water & dissolve in it
some “fear” water & separate from it
amino acid amino acid amino acid amino acid amino acid
![Page 36: find-happiness.com news.nationalgeographic.com upload.wikimedia.org stuffeducatedlatinoslike.files.wordpress.com.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7d5503460f94b7f5ab/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Water-fearing amino acids
Hydrophobic (phobia – fear) “water fearing” amino acids try to get away from water in cell – but HOW?
the protein folds!
![Page 37: find-happiness.com news.nationalgeographic.com upload.wikimedia.org stuffeducatedlatinoslike.files.wordpress.com.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7d5503460f94b7f5ab/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Water-Loving amino acids Hydrophillic (phil – love)
“water loving” amino acids try to stay in water in cell
the protein folds!
![Page 38: find-happiness.com news.nationalgeographic.com upload.wikimedia.org stuffeducatedlatinoslike.files.wordpress.com.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7d5503460f94b7f5ab/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
pepsin
3-D protein structure• Proteins fold & twist into 3-D shapes
– that’s what happens in the cell!
• Different shapes = different jobs
collagen
hemoglobingrowthhormone
![Page 39: find-happiness.com news.nationalgeographic.com upload.wikimedia.org stuffeducatedlatinoslike.files.wordpress.com.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7d5503460f94b7f5ab/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
With Proteins…Its shape that matters!
• Proteins do their jobs, because of their shape
• Unfolding a protein destroys its shape– wrong shape = can’t do its job– unfolding proteins = “denature”
• temperature• pH (acidity)
folded
unfolded“denatured”
