2) Some insects can stand on water because water has
a high _________.
3) label the water molecule with
O, H, +, and –

Macromolecules
Unit 2 Biochemistry
What Will We Learn Today?
EQ: What molecules
make up all living
things?
Objective:
differentiate between
the four types of
molecules.
Organic Chemistry
Carbon
– most versatile element
– bonds with many different elements (H, O, S,
N, P, C)
– forms large and complex structures.
Macromolecules
Means giant molecules
Small units called monomers join to form
large units called polymers which are the
same as macromolecules
There are 4 groups
– Carbohydrates
– Lipids
– Nucleic acids
– Proteins

Macromolecule Activity
•With your clock buddy, you will:
–Cut all word and pictures from the handouts
–Glue words and pictures on to construction
paper
–Organize them into Carbs, Proteins, Lipids,
Nucleic Acids
–You will do two macromolecules and your
partner will do the other two
–Label everything you can
–Use your notes from today
Warm-Up #12
10/1/12
1) When is your next quiz? Test?
2) What is the monomer of a protein?
3) What is the monomer of a nucleic acid?
4) What sugar is found in plant cell walls?
EQ: What affect does enzymes
have on a reaction?
Chemical Reactions
Changes one set of chemicals into another
set of chemicals
Require energy
Reactants IN
Products OUT
Chemical bonds are ALWAYS broken and
new bonds are formed
2H2 + O2  2H2O

Energy in Reactions
Energy can be released as heat, light, or
sound.
Living organisms need energy source to
carry out chemical reactions.
Some reactions need activation energy to
get started. (activation energy)
Enzymes
A catalyst speeds up the rate of a
chemical reaction.
An enzyme is a catalyst for a biological
chemical reaction—inside cells!
Enzymes are very specific—one enzyme
for one chemical reaction.
Enzymes
Substrates (reactants) attach to the active
site of a specific enzyme. (enzymesubstrate complex
When the enzyme-substrate complex is
formed, the enzyme converts the substrate
into products.
The products are released.
The enzyme can carry out another
reaction.

Enzymes
Work best at certain pH and temperature
levels.
Enzymes in humans work best at 37°C,
normal body temperature.
