  2. Polymer Principles • Four classes of macromolecules: • Carbohydrates • Lipids • Proteins • Nucleic Acids • Polymers are made up of smaller parts called monomers. • Polymers are formed through condensation reactions. • Polymers are broken apart through a hydrolysis reaction.

  3. General Information about Carbohydrates • Are important energy sources for most organisms • Often end in “-ose” • Made of C, H, and O • “Carbo”-contains carbon • “Hydrate”-hydrogen and oxygen are present in the same proportions as in water (2 H: 1 O)

  4. Two linked monosaccharides are disaccharides Simple or single sugars are monosaccharides Long chains of monosaccharides are polysaccharides

  5. Monosaccharides -one sugar unit – are the simplest carbohydrates • Backbone of 3-7 carbon atoms • Many –OH and –H functional groups • Usually found in ring form in cells • They are characterized by sweet taste • They have several polar -OH groups, so they dissolve in water

  6. IB GLUCOSE • (C6H12O6) • The most common monosaccharide • One of the products of photosynthesis. • In animals, glucose is synthesized in the liver and kidneys • Glucose is needed for ATP synthesis during cellular respiration

  7. Ribose and deoxyribose are the building blocks for nucleic acids. IB

  8. FRUCTOSE • Found in fruits and honey. • It is classified as the sweetest of all the sugars.

  9. Glucose and fructose have the same chemical formula C6H12O6 but different structural arrangement of the atoms (called isomers)

  10. Disaccharides – two sugar units bonded together

  11. Disaccharides are formed in condensation reactions

  12. Maltose (two glucose units) is present in germinating seeds.

  13. Sucrose (glucose + fructose) is a transport form of sugar used by plants and harvested by humans for food.

  14. Lactose (galactose and glucose) is present in milk

  15. Complex carbohydrates: the polysaccharides • A polysaccharide is a straight or branched chain of hundreds or thousands of sugar monomers.

  16. Storage polysaccharides • Starch (polymer of glucose) • Found in PLANTS • Formed in roots and seeds as a form of glucose storage • Glycogen (polymer of glucose) • Found in ANIMALS • Formed in the liver as a form of glucose storage

  17. Structural polysaccharides • Cellulose (polymer of glucose) • Found in the cell walls of plants • Indigestible for most animals due to orientation of bonds between glucoses • Chitin (polymer of modified glucose units) • Found in the outer coverings of insects, crabs, and spiders • Found in the cell walls of many fungi

  18. Hydrolysis Reactions • A large molecule is split into smaller sections by breaking a bond, adding -H to one section and -OH to the other. • The products are simpler substances. Since it involves the addition of water • This explains why it is called hydrolysis, meaning splitting by water.
