1. Macromolecules • Most confusing of concepts. • What are they? • Use of Macromolecules • Differentiate • Human need

2. Etymology • 1886, from macro- + molecule. Apparently coined in "On Macro-molecules, with the Determinations of the Form of Some of Them," by Anglo-Irish physicist G. Johnstone Stoney (1826–1911). Originally of crystals.

3. Etymology Macro- meaning “large,” “long,” “great,” “excessive,” AND…. Molecule – Combination of elements Meaning "molecule composed of many atoms" is from 1935, from German makromolekul (1922).

4. A macromolecule - is a very large molecule commonly created by polymerization of smaller subunits. In biochemistry, the term is applied to the four conventional Biopolymers • nucleic acids • proteins • carbohydrates • as well as non-polymeric molecules with large molecular mass such as lipids and macrocycles.

5. The individual constituent molecules of macromolecules are called monomers (mono=single, meros=part).

6. SPONCH What is SPONCH?

7. SPONCH • S= Sulfur • P= Phosphorus • O= Oxygen • N= Nitrogen • C= Carbon • H= Hydrogen 6 most important elements to life

8. Matter • Anything that occupies space and has mass

9. Element • Simplest form of matter, cannot be broken down chemically into a simpler kind of matter

10. Periodic Table of Elements • Organized table of elements discovered so far • Organized according to atomic structure and chemical characteristics

11. Atoms and Atomic Structure • Atoms are the simplest form of an element that keeps all the properties of the element

12. Model of the Atom • Parts of the atom: • Protons (+), Neutrons and Electrons (-) • Nucleus: central core of the atom that contains • Protons • Neutrons • Electrons orbit the nucleus

13. Determining Atomic Structure Using the Periodic Table • Atomic number = # of protons and is smaller number by the symbol • Atomic mass number = # of protons + # of neutrons • Assume for now that protons =electrons

14. Practice

15. Practice

16. Types of Bonds • COVALENT – strong bond between elements • IONIC- attraction between elements due to opposite charges (weaker than covalent) • HYDROGEN – weakest type of bond

17. Covalent • Sharing of electrons to fill the valence shell • Examples– methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2)

18. Ionic • One element gains electrons becoming ____ • The other element loses electrons becoming _____________ • Opposites attract • Ionic compounds Dissolve easily in water • EX. NaCl

19. Hydrogen bonds • Caused by partial positive and negative charges • Water is best example ﮦ - ﮦ +

20. How does salt dissolve in water? • Na+ and Cl – • Ions become attracted to the partial charges on water

21. Today’s Agenda: Biology I know the following… *atomic mass *atomic number *how to find # of protons *how to find # of neutrons *how to find # of electrons *atomic structure (drawings) *types of bonds

22. QUIZ on Basic Chem. • 2-1

23. Chemistry Basics Quiz

24. Carbon Oxygen Draw the following atoms WATER H2O

25. CARBON – the building block of life! • DRAW Carbon Carbon is able to covalently bond with up to four other elements or form double and triple bonds with other carbon atoms.

26. Carbon • Carbon chains make up many structures of living organisms. • Varying carbon chains’ structure and/or adding various atoms and molecules to the carbon chain will change it’s function

27. MAKE CH4 * MAKE C2H6 * MAKE C2H4

28. Group of 4 Make… • C4H10 – two different ways

29. Ring Forms of Carbons • Make C4H8 with NO DOUBLE BONDS

30. FUNCTIONAL GROUPS • Add a hydroxyl group (-OH) to a 2 carbon chain • You just made ethanol – an alcohol that destroys liver cells

31. MACROMOLECULES • 4 Large Molecules Important to Life • Carbohydrates • Lipids • Proteins • Nucleic Acids

32. Chapter 2-3 • Carbon chem • Carbohydrates • Lipids • Proteins • Nucleic Acids Stuff to know! Chapter 2-1 Atomic # Atomic mass Atomic structure Ionic bonds Covalent bonds Hydrogen bonds Water chemistry Solutions,Solvents,pH polarity

33. CARBOHYDRATES (CH2O)n • Functions= provides energy (glucose is energy source for cells • Monomers = monosaccharides • Examples = glucose, fructose and galactose (all 3 = C6H12O6 so they are isomer)

34. Two linked = disaccharides • Examples = sucrose (glucose and fructose) and lactose

35. Polymer = polysaccharides • Examples = glycogen (animals) starch (plants)

36. Why “bulk-up” on carbs? Why not eat carbs?

37. CONDENSATION REACTION

38. HOW WOULD THIS GET BROKEN DOWN? H20 HYDROLYSIS

39. PROTEINS • Monomers = amino acids • All amino acids have • Amine group (NH2) • Carboxyl group (COOH) • R-groups differ

40. Dipeptide

41. FUNCTIONS of PROTEINS • Structural • Hormones • Transport • Histones • ENZYMES!!!

42. Lock and Key Model

43. What symptoms would you have if you had sickle cell anemia?

44. 1 amino acid is wrong in the hemoglobin sequence = mis-shaped RBCs

45. LIPIDS • MONOMERS = fatty acids • Saturated • Unsaturated

46. COMPLEX • TRIGLYCERIDES • PHOSPHOLIPIDS • WAXES

47. FUNCTIONS • TRIGLYCERIDES – insulation and energy storage • PHOSPHOLIPDS – main component in cell membranes

48. HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES • Fats such as cholesterol and saturated fatty acids build up in arteries • What other factors contribute to arteriosclerosis?
