THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE MACROMOLECULES AKA Biochemistry 1

THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE MACROMOLECULES AKA ~ Biochemistry

#1 MACROMOLECULES

#2 LIPIDS CARBOHYDRATES PROTEINS NUCLEIC ACIDS

#3 FATS, OILS, WAXES, STEROIDS, AND PHOSPHOLIPIDS

#4 CELL MEMBRANES ARE MADE OF PHOSPHOLIPIDS. “bilayer” – means two layers

#5 HYDROPHOBIC- FEAR WATER HYDROPHILIC – LOVE WATER

#6 CARBON, HYDROGEN, OXYGEN CHO with a little bit of O

#7 INSULATE, LONG-TERM ENERGY, & BUILD CELL MEMBRANES

#8 FATTY ACIDS

#9 A LIPID CHO with just a little O

#10 GLUCOSE, FRUCTOSE, CELLULOSE, STARCH If it ends in “ose” it’s a sugar!

#11 CARBON, HYDROGEN OXYGEN CHO with a LOT of O

#12 C 6 H 12 O 6 It’s a ratio of 1: 2: 1

#13 MONOSACCARIDES POLYSACCARIDES Mono means 1. Poly means 1+.

#14 SHORT-TERM ENERGY PROVIDE FIBER, & BUILD PLANT CELL WALLS, & (Sugar high = short term energy)

#15 Fiber – found in plants Plant cell walls are made of cellulose!

#16 A CARBOHYDRATE CHO With a lot of O 1: 2: 1 ratio

#17 INSULIN, KERATIN, HEMOGLOBIN, COLLAGEN These are all enzymes in your body

#18 TO SPEED UP CHEMICAL REACTIONS IN YOUR BODY

#19 CHON CARBON, HYDROGEN, OXYGEN, NITROGEN The “R” will vary…

#20 AMINO ACIDS

#21 PROTEIN You will also see an “R” or “R group”

#22 RNA & DNA

#23 STORE GENETIC INFORMATION & MAKE PROTEIN !

#24 - CHONP CARBON, HYDROGEN, OXYGEN, NITROGEN, PHOSPHATE “Sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base”

#25 NUCLEOTIDES

#26 A HOUSE, A DRIVEWAY, AND A POOL… We will be studying about these more in the future!

#26 HELP SPEED UP CHEMICAL REACTIONS IN YOUR BODY

#27 NUCLEIC ACID Always look for the “P” – it’s easy to miss!
