Q.O.T.D. • Q: What does coffee do to your body? • Go ask Alice – Columbia University

Life is organic! • Organic compounds are Carbon (C) based compounds. • Living things (including cells) are composed of the following types of organic compounds: • Carbohydrates • Lipids • Proteins • Nucleic acids
Carbohydrates • Sugars and starches • Used for energy (example = glucose) and structural parts of cells (example = cellulose) • Contain the following elements: C, H & O • Always have a 2:1 ratio of H:O
Monosaccharides • Building blocks = monosaccharides examples: glucose, fructose, galactose • Monosaccharides are also known as single sugars. • Molecular formula = C6H12O6
Monosaccharides continued… • Structural formula for glucose: Note: the “ring” thing
Disaccharides • Disaccharides are double sugars. • Molecular formula = C12H22O11 • Examples: • Maltose = glucose + glucose • Lactose = glucose + galactose • Sucrose = glucose + fructose Notice the “ose” trend???
How do you build a disaccharide? • Dehydration synthesis:
Dehydration synthesis • Is the building of a larger, more complex compound by the removal of a water molecule from two smaller, less complex compounds. (an anabolic process) A + B AB + H2O
Hydrolysis • The reverse process of dehydration synthesis. • The breaking down of a larger more complex compound into two smaller less complex compounds by the addition of a water molecule. (a catabolic process) AB + H2O A + B

Polysaccharides • Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates • Examples = cellulose, starch, glycogen and chitin
Lipids • Fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids • Contain elements C, H & O • Do not dissolve in water!
Uses of Lipids: • Long term energy storage • FYI - 1g of lipid contains 2.25X as much energy as 1g of carbohydrate! • Cushioning of internal organs • Hormones (estrogens, testosterone) • Cell membrane (phospholipids)
Lipids • Building blocks = glycerol + fatty acids Fatty acid Glycerol
Q.O.T.D. • Q: What is ear wax and why is it produced in the human body? • A: Ear wax a.k.a. cerumen • It is produced by two different types of glands in the ear • It is composed of: • Skin cells and keratin • Fatty acids • Alcohol • Cholesterol • Functions include: • Natural cleanser • Protects the ear • Anti-bacterial / anti-fungal properties • Contains lysozyme and has a low pH
Discussion Questions • Compare and contrast dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis. • Give some examples of complex carbohydrates. • How could a cell get usable energy from starch or glycogen? • Explain how and where lipids are formed. • What is the difference between a saturated and unsaturated fat?
ProteiNs • Contain elements C, H, O & N (nitrogen!) • Examples: feathers, wool, silk, hormones (example = insulin), hemoglobin, enzymes, membrane proteins, pigments…
Amino acids • Building blocks of proteins = Amino Acids • General formula: R = variable, differs for each of the 20 AA’s
Language of proteins Dipeptides – two amino acids bonded together Polypeptides – long chains of amino acids bonded together Peptide bonds – covalent bonds formed between amino acids (by dehydration synthesis!)

Summary questions • How would you be able to identify a carbohydrate, from a lipid, from a protein? • Compare and contrast: • carbohydrate & lipid • lipid & protein • carbohydrate & protein
Probe tomorrow… are you ready?! • #1 What are the building blocks of carbohydrates, give an example. • #2 How / where are polypeptides built? • #3 List two functions of lipids. • #4 What are the components of a triglyceride?
Q.O.T.D. • Q: Why is horseshoe crab blood blue? • A: They do not have hemoglobin, they have hemocyanin. • Benefits of blue blood – NGM • Blood clots in the presence of endotoxins (which are produced by harmful bacteria) • Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) • 1 quart of horseshoe crab blood is worth ~$15 000!
