BIOCHEMISTRY The chemistry of life
ORGANIC COMPOUND • Contains CARBON and HYDROGEN • Ex. C6H12O6 is GLUCOSE
INORGANIC COMPOUND • Does NOT contain carbon and hydrogen together. • Examples • H2O = water • CO2 = carbon dioxide
ATOMS • One of the simplest units of matter • Made of: • Protons-have a positive charge (+) • Electrons-have a negative charge (-) • Neutrons-have NO charge (0)
ELEMENT • Made of one kind of atom • Examples: • C = Carbon • H = Hydrogen • O = Oxygen • N = Nitrogen
COMPOUND • Two or more atoms, chemically combined and held together by bonds.
FOUR GROUPS OF ORGANIC MOLECULES • Carbohydrates • Proteins • Lipids • Nucleic Acids • All organic molecules are made of C,H,O,N
CARBOHYDRATES • Examples • Bread • Candy • Brownies • Pasta • Rice • Beans • All carbohydrates are made of sugars. (C,H,O)
CARBOHYDRATES • 3 different types of carbohydrates • Monosaccharide • Disaccharides • Polysaccharides
CARBOHYDRATES • Monosaccharides • Made of one sugar • End in –ose • Source of energy • Has chemical formula C6H12O6 • Ratio of H to O is 2:1 • Examples: • Glucose • Fructose • Maltose • Lactose
CARBOHYDRATES • Disaccharide • End in –ose • Ratio of H to O is 2:1 • Consist of 2 sugar molecules • Example: • sucrose
CARBOHYDRATES • Polysaccharides • 3 or more sugars combined • Complex structure • Examples • Cellulose • Starches
HOW ARE MOLECULES COMBINED? • Dehydration Synthesis • The process by which molecules are joined together by removing water.
HOW ARE COMPOUNDS BROKEN DOWN? • Hydrolysis • The process by which compounds are separated from each other by adding water.
PROTEINS • Made of Amino Acids • Always contain C,H,O,N • All structures in an organism are made of proteins. • Proteins make up: • Enzymes • Muscle Tissue • Blood Cells • Cell Growth and Repair • Hormones
PROTEINS • Amino Acids are bonded together with peptide bonds. • 3 Different types • Monopeptide (1 Amino Acid) • Dipeptide (2 Amino Acids) • Polypeptide (3 Amino Acids)
AMINO ACID STRUCTURE • Amino Acids are made of 3 parts: • An amino group • A carboxyl group • An R side chain
Amino Acids • There are 20 types of amino acids • 8 of them are essential • Ex. Tryptophan, Alanine, Arginine, Proline, Serine
LIPIDS • Also called fats, oils and waxes • Organic (made of C, H, O) • No ratio of H to O • Found in all living things • Used for • energy storage • source of energy • insulation • Protection • sub-structure of cell membrane
LIPIDS • Lipids are made of two parts: • Glycerol • 3 Fatty Acids
LIPIDS • Two types of fatty acids • Saturated • Fats that are NOT double bonded and are solid at room temperature • Ex. Butter, bacon grease, Crisco, cheese • Unsaturated • Fats that are double bonded. • Ex. Olive oil, Canola Oil
LIPIDS • In a typical lipid molecule, there are carboxyl groups
NUCLEIC ACIDS • DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) • Contains genetic information (heredity) • Controls cellular activities • Found in all living things • It is organic (C, H, O, N, P)
NUCLEIC ACIDS • DNA is made of units called nucleotides • Nucleotides consist of: • A phosphate group • A monosaccharide (ribose) • A nitrogenous base (A, T, G, or C)
DNA • Double helix • Bases: • Adenine (A) • Thymine (T) • Guanine (G) • Cytosine (C) • DNA bases are bonded using hydrogen bonds
RNA • Carries genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosomes, for protein synthesis • Single stranded (NOT double helix) • Smaller than DNA
RNA • Made of nucleotides • Contains sugar, phosphate group and 1 base • Bases in RNA: • Adenine (A) • Uracil (U) • Guanine (G) • Cytosine (C)
