Transcript Lipids: 9 Calories per gram
Carbon is the Main Ingredient of Organic
Molecules
It is a carbon based molecule.
Examples: Carbohydrates, Proteins and
Lipids.
These are non-carbon based compounds.
Examples: Water and Hydrogen Peroxide
These are organic molecules that are
composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Examples: Methane and Butane
A group of atoms within a molecule that
interacts in predictable ways with other
molecules.
These are small molecular units.
These are large chains of monomers.
Dehydration Synthesis (Building): Involves
removing water from the two molecules being
joined.
Hydrolysis (Breaking): Involves adding water
to the molecules so they separate.
Carbohydrates Provide Fuel and Building
Material
These are organic molecules composed of
carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a
ratio of (1 Carbon: 2 Hydrogen: 1 Oxygen)
Energy: 4 Calories per gram
Simple sugars that contain just one sugar
unit.
Examples: Glucose and Fructose
These are 2 sugar units that have been put
together through dehydration synthesis.
Examples:
Sucrose: (Glucose and Fructose)
Lactose: (Milk Sugar)
Maltose: (Malt Sugar)
These are long polymer chains made up of
many simple sugar monomers, or also known
as a complex carbohydrate.
Starch: Food Storage for Plants
Glycogen: Energy that is stored in the
muscles of animals for quick energy. (Liver
Replenishes it)
Cellulose: Makes up the cell walls in plant
cells. (Humans can not digest it)
Lipids include Fats and Steroids
These are organic molecules that have a large
proportion of carbon and hydrogen atoms
and less oxygen than carbohydrates.
Lipids: 9 Calories per gram
Cholesterol
Bees Wax
Phospholipids (Cell Membranes)
Saturated: Contains the maximum number of
hydrogen atoms.
All single bonds
(Usually solid at room temperature)
Unsaturated: It contains less than the
maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
Contains double bonds.
Usually a liquid at room temperature.
Triglyceride: Composed of (Glycerol + 3 Fatty
Acids)
This is a typical fat.
Phospholipid: Found in Cell Membranes.
Hydrophilic Heads: Water Loving
Hydrophobic Tails: Water Hating
Steroid Hormones: (Chemical signals in the
body)
Composed of 4 Fused Rings
Testosterone: Male Hormone
Estrogen: Female Hormone
They are building materials for the body.
Proteins are large complex polymers
composed of amino acids.
Proteins: 4 Calories per gram
Meat
Eggs
Beans
Used in making muscle fibers.
Enzymes: (Molecules that allow reactions to
occur in the body.
They are the building blocks of proteins.
20 amino acids are available for protein
synthesis.
Occurs when amino acids are linked together.
It involves the removal of water just like in
carbohydrate synthesis.
These are the main catalyst of chemical
reactions in organisms.
It is a compound that speeds up chemical
reactions.
It is the energy necessary to start or initiate a
chemical reaction.
See Example.
A specific reactant acted upon by an enzyme.
It is a particular region on the enzyme that
the substrate fits into for a reaction to occur.
It is like a lock and key.
They are very specific to what they do.
Let’s do a few labs.
