Carbon fun facts
Carbon is found in many different
compounds.
It is in the food you eat, the clothes you
wear, the cosmetics you use and the
gasoline that fuels your car.
Carbon is the sixth most abundant
element in the universe.
How are organic and inorganic
compounds different?

between dehydration synthesis and
hydrolysis
Dehydration synthesis builds large
biomolecules by removing water to build a
bond
Hydrolysis takes away a water molecule to
break a bond

How do monosaccharides build large
polysaccharides?
Dehydration synthesis
Loss of water between two molecules to
build a bond
It is the process that builds polymers from
smaller subunits
Polysaccharides made from glucose
Monosaccharides or simple sugars
combine through the process of
dehydration synthesis to build large
polysaccharides such as starch, cellulose
and glycogen.
Polysaccharides made only from glucose
monomers
Starch: long term energy stored in plants
Glycogen: long term energy storage in
animals. Liver and muscle cells
Cellulose: structural material in plants.

build high energy lipid molecules?
DO NOW: In complete sentences explain
how monosaccharides build starches and
glycogen
Homework:Text read page 61. Answer
question 3 on pg 63
Last nights HW page 59 and 60
Reading check questions
How is starch different
from glycogen?
Why do we need to
incorporate fats and oils into
our daily diet?
Functions of lipids
Long term energy storage
Insulation
Protection
Hormones: steroids: chemicalmessengers
Does oil and water mix?
Why or why not?
Does oil and water mix?
NO!
Lipids
All lipids must have both a hydrophobic
and hydrophillic part to them
Dehydration synthesis forms lipids
LIPIDS: Oils, fats, waxes,
phospholipids, steroids
Hydrophobic: Made of long hydrocarbon
chains or tails. Makes lipid insoluble in
water it does not dissolve in water
Hydrophillic:portion allows for parts of
lipid to be dissolved in water.
Dehydration synthesis forms lipids
Fat, oil and wax
1 glycerol + 3 fatty acids
Saturated fat: all carbons are saturated
Unsaturated fat: not all carbons are bound
Fats oils and waxes
Characteristics of fats are determined by
hydrocarbon tail
Unsaturated: such as peanut oil are
liquid at room temperature
Saturated: animal fats are solid at room
temperature
FATS
Phospholipids: build cell membranes
•1 glycerol, 1 phosphate group, 2 fatty acids
Phospholipids vs triglycerides(fat
and oil)
By removing one of the fatty acids in a
triglyceride and replacing it with a
phosphate group makes the phospholipid
hydrophillic (water loving)
The other 2 fatty acid tails make the
phospholipid hydrophobic
The cell membrane
Steroids: lipid hormones
Chemical messengers
Cholesterol: found in membranes. Also
makes other steroids
Estradiol and testosterone: sex hormones
which regulate salt and bile levels and
also assist in fat digestion
Waxes
Protection
Ex: Ear wax
Wax on the outer leaf of a plant
List and explain the function of the four
types of lipids discussed.
