Presentation Transcript

  1. Water + Organic Molecules Water, Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids

  2. Water and Polarity

  3. Water and Polarity • Hydrogen and oxygen atoms share electrons • Covalent bonds • Oxygen pulls more on the hydrogen’s electrons • Uneven Pulling = Uneven Charges = Polarity • Water molecules are attracted to each other due to polarity • Hydrogen bonds are broken and formed very easily

  4. Properties of Water

  5. Properties of Water • Water Dissolves • Charged particles are 'pulled' into solution. • Cohesion • Water sticks together • Adhesion • Water sticks to other substances – capillary action • High Surface Tension • Drops of water on a penny • Temp Moderation/Density • Earth’s oceans and sweating

  6. Carbon Compounds

  7. Carbon Compounds • Organic compounds are made primarily of carbon atoms. • A carbon atom has four electrons in its outermost energy level. • Can form four covalent bonds with other elements or with other carbon atoms. • Single, double and triple bonds are possible • Straight, branched, ring

  8. Functional Groups • Functional groups are clusters of atoms that influence molecules. Hydroxyl group Carboxyl group Amino group Phosphate group

  9. Carbon Molecules • Monomers • Single units • Polymers • Monomers chained together • Macromolecules • Large polymers • Hydrolysis/dehydration synthesis • Process of building and breaking down monomers

  10. ATP

  11. ATP • Life processes require a constant supply of energy. • ATP • Adenosine triphosphate • Compound stores a large amount of energy

  12. Carbohydrates • Carbohydrates • Carbo = Carbon • Hydrate = Water • Carbohydrates can serve as a source of energy or as structural materials. • Carbohydrates are polar due to the large amounts of oxygen.

  13. Monosaccharides

  14. Composed of C : H : O 1: 2 : 1 ratio Three Most Common Types Glucose Fructose Galactose Monosaccharides

  15. Disaccharides

  16. Disaccharides • Disaccharides • Two monosaccharides combined • Disaccharides are called a “Double Sugar” • Sucrose = Glucose + Fructose • Lactose = Glucose + Galactose

  17. Polysaccharides

  18. Polysaccharides • Composed of three or more monosaccharides • Glycogen • Hundreds of glucose chained together • Storage of energy, found in liver and muscles • Starch • Highly branched chains of glucose • Cellulose • Long, unbranched chains of glucose • Thousands of monomers

  19. Carbohydrates & Food

  20. Carbohydrates & Food • There are two types of carbohydrates in food • Simple: Monosaccharides and disaccharides • Fruit, milk, vegetables • Complex: Polysaccharides • Breads, rice, pasta, starchy vegetables
