1 ells: Unit 3 Subject Standards/ontent and ST Alignment Key Vocabulary Teacher to Teacher Plan Pacing Materials verview ells A living cell is composed of a small number of elements, mainly carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous and sulfur. arbon, because of its small size and four available bonding electrons, can join to other carbon atoms in chains and rings to form large and complex molecules. The essential functions of cells involve chemical reactions that involve water and carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. A special group of proteins, enzymes, enables chemical reactions to occur within living systems. ell functions are regulated complex interactions among the different kinds of molecules in the cell cause distinct cycles of activities, such as growth and division. Most cells function within a narrow range of temperature and p. At very low temperatures, reaction rates are slow. igh temperatures and/or extremes of p can irreversibly change the structure of most protein molecules. Even small changes in p can alter how molecules interact. The sequence of DNA bases on a chromosome determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Proteins catalyze most chemical reactions in cells. Protein molecules are long, usually folded chains made from combinations of the 20 typical amino-acid sub-units found in the cell. The function of each protein molecule depends on its specific sequence of amino acids and the shape the chain takes as a result of that sequence. Enzyme: Students must be able to recognize that words ending with the suffix "ase" are enzymes. atalyst, Substrate, Activation Energy, Exothermic, Endothermic, p, Reactant, Product, Equilibrium. Note 1: The idea that protein molecules assembled by cells conduct the work that goes on inside and outside the cells in an organism can be learned without going into the biochemical details. It is sufficient for students to know that the molecules involved are different configurations of a few amino acids and that the different shapes of the molecules influence what they do.

13 "ow Good Is Your Enzymatic Detergent? Introduction: In nature there are enzymes called proteases that "digest" or degrade proteins. Some of these enzymes have been genetically engineered and added to our laundry detergents in the hope that they will "digest" the protein off of our clothing. Do they work? Do they assist in cleaning? In this experiment you can compare different detergents and their ability to "digest" protein. What is gelatin? Gelatin consists of protein chains that are easily digested into their amino acid components. Gelatin is prepared from collagen, a protein found in animal tendons and skin and taken out during the meat rendering process. Boiling collagen reduces the weight by about one-third and separates the protein strands by breaking bonds. When the boiled collagen is cooled, it does not revert back to collagen but sets to a gel we know as gelatin. Purpose : To test the effectiveness of laundry detergent brands (and their enzymes) to digest protein (in the form of gelatin) Prelab ypothesis: will decompose more gelatin in millimeters than. Materials: Gelatin in 4 test tubes Wax Pencil/ Permanent marker 3 detergent brands Distilled water Test tube rack Parafilm Ruler

14 Procedure: Day 1 1. Pour 5 ml of melted gelatin into 4 test tubes. Let the gelatin solidify. 2. Make 10% solutions of the five non-liquid detergents selected for testing. (Mix 10 g of detergent in 90 ml of distilled water). Label the solutions carefully and note whether enzymes are listed as a component of each. 3. Mark the top level of the gelatin with a permanent marker. Add 15 drops of each detergent solution to the top surface of the hardened gelatin in a test tube. To one tube add 15 drops of distilled water. Label carefully. Day 2 4. After 24 hours examine the test tubes. Notice that the gelatin has been liquefied in some tubes. Use a ruler to measure the depth of the liquefication. Measure from the mark where the hardened gelatin started down to where it is still hard. Measure to the nearest mm. Record. Day 3 5. Measure the depth of liquefication again after 48 hours. Data 1 data table, 1 graph (time vs. mm. liquefied) Distilled Water Detergent 1? Detergent 2? Detergent 3? Enzymes listed? Liquefied After 24 hours (mm.) Liquefied After 48 hou (mm.)

Name each of the laundry detergents you used and describe the effect each one had on the gelatin. 6. Did any of the laundry detergents contain enzymes? If so, which one(s)? 7. Was your original hypothesis correct? Explain.

17 Why? Enzymes and ellular Regulation What are the factors that regulate the rate at which enzymes catalyze reactions? Digestive enzymes are protein-based biological catalysts that play important roles in our lives. They help remove stains from our shirts, turn milk into cheese, and are responsible for turning our dinner into useable fuel for our bodies. Enzymes however do not work well universally. Some are meant to work at high temperatures, others at low temperatures. They may work best in acidic conditions or neutral conditions. In this activity we will look at the optimal conditions for two different enzymes. The digestive enzyme lipase is made in the pancreas and breaks down lipids in the small intestine, while pepsin breaks down proteins in the stomach. Model 1 Two Digestive Enzymes lipase Triglycerides glycerol + fatty acids pepsin Large polypeptides smaller polypeptides + amino acids Effect of p on Enzyme Activity Rate of reaction Pepsin (stomach) Lipase p 1. Name the two enzymes illustrated in Model onsider the information provided in the Why? box and in Model 1 about these proteins. a. In which body organ is pepsin active? b. In which body organ is pancreatic lipase active? Enzymes and ellular Regulation 1

18 3. For each enzyme in Model 1, circle the p that best represents the environment in which the enzyme is most active. Pepsin Lipase ompare the rate of the pepsin-catalyzed reaction at p 1.5 with the rate of the lipase-catalyzed reaction at p ompare the rate of the pepsin-catalyzed reaction at p 8 with the rate of the lipase-catalyzed reaction at p Using your knowledge of protein structure, explain in detail the effect of exposing an enzyme to a p outside of its optimal range. Include the effect on both enzyme structure and function. 7. At what p values is lipase likely to be denatured? Justify your answer. 8. At what p values is pepsin likely to be denatured? Justify your answer. 9. In addition to being produced in the pancreas, lipase is also produced in the stomach. Is the structure of pancreatic lipase the same as gastric (produced in the stomach) lipase? Justify your reasoning. 10. Add a line to the graph in Model 1 that shows a prediction for gastric lipase activity. 11. Antacids work by neutralizing acids, bringing the p of the stomach to a range of 6 7. What is the effect of taking an antacid on a person s ability to digest proteins? 2 PGIL Activities for AP* Biology

Explain what effect this may have on his digestion. 16. onsider the data in graph B of Model 2. a. Describe the relationship between enzyme concentration and reaction rate. b. Propose an explanation for this relationship. 17. onsider the data in graph of Model 2. a. What is the relationship between substrate concentration and the reaction rate? b.

As a group, develop an analogy for the function of an enzyme that will explain the concentration graphs in Model 2 (graphs B and ). 19. Would the reaction rate on graph B of Model 2 ever reach a maximum level? Justify your answer. 4 PGIL Activities for AP* Biology

21 Extension Questions 20. Thermophilic bacteria, such as Thermus aquaticus, live in hot springs where the temperature is greater than 70. Draw a graph similar to graph A in Model 2 representing the optimal temperature of T. aquaticus. 21. DNA polymerase from T. aquaticus (Taq) is used in PR (polymerase chain reaction). PR is a technique where millions of copies of DNA can be made from one original copy. In this method, the target DNA molecule is subjected to temperatures over 95 to make the double-stranded DNA separate. The temperature is then lowered slightly to allow primers to anneal before the Taq polymerase catalyzes the reactions to incorporate new nucleotides into the complementary strands. The cycle is then repeated over and over until there are millions of copies of the target DNA. a. Predict why this bacterial polymerase is used instead of a human polymerase. b. What would happen if you used a human polymerase in a series of PR reactions? Read This! The rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction can also be affected by the presence of other molecules that can bind to the enzyme, changing its shape. In some reactions a coenzyme is necessary. This molecule binds to the protein strands of the enzyme, changing its shape so that is ready to receive the substrate molecule. Without the coenzyme, the enzyme would not be able to attach to the substrate. ther molecules can reduce the rate of reaction for enzymes by binding to the protein and either blocking the spot where the substrate will bind or by making the enzyme s shape incompatible with the substrate. These molecules are called inhibitors. 22. Sketch a graph that shows the relationship between the rate of an enzyme reaction and the concentration of coenzyme necessary for the enzyme to function properly. 23. Add a line to graph of Model 2 that shows the rate of an enzyme reaction in the presence of inhibitor molecules. Enzymes and ellular Regulation 5

22 Why? Biological Molecules What are the building blocks of life? From the smallest single-celled organism to the tallest tree, all life depends on the properties and reactions of four classes of organic (carbon-based) compounds carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. These organic molecules are the building blocks of all living things, and are responsible for most of the structure and functions of the body, including energy storage, insulation, growth, repair, communication, and transfer of hereditary information. Simple organic molecules can be joined together to form all the essential biological molecules needed for life. Model 1 Molecules of Life arbohydrates (monosaccharides) Lipids Glycerol 2 Proteins (amino acids) Nucleic acids (nucleotides) Glucose 3 N Alanine P 2 2 Biological Molecules 1 Galactose 2 N N 2 S N ysteine N 2 N N N R Fructose Triglyceride (fat or oil) Fatty acids ( 2 ) 12 3 Phosphate group ( 2 ) 7 =( 2 ) 7 3 Sugar Amine group ( 2 ) 14 3 Nitrogen base Variable R side chain arboxylic acid group

23 1. Use Model 1 to show which atoms are present in each type of molecule by listing the symbol for each atom included. arbohydrate has been done for you. a. arbohydrate,, c. Amino acid b. Lipid d. Nucleic acid 2. Which type of molecule includes an example with a long-chain carbon backbone? 3. In the molecule referred to in the previous question, what is the dominant element attached to the carbon backbone? 4. The fatty acid chain of the lipids is often referred to as a hydrocarbon chain. Discuss with your group why the chain is given this name and write a one-sentence definition for a hydrocarbon. 5. Which molecule has a central carbon atom with four different components around it? 6. Which molecule has a sugar, nitrogenous base, and phosphate group? 7. Discuss with your group members some similarities among all four types of molecules. List as many as you can. 8. What is the chemical formula of the first carbohydrate molecule shown? 9. What three structural groups shown do all amino acids have in common? 10. There are 20 naturally-occurring amino acids, and each one only varies in the structure of the R side chain. Two amino acids are shown in Model 1. What are the R side chains in each? Read This! During chemical reactions, the bonds in molecules are continually broken and reformed. To break a bond, energy must be absorbed. When bonds are formed, energy is released. If more energy is released than absorbed during a chemical change, the process can be used as a source of energy. A general rule for processes such as respiration is the more carbon atoms there are in a molecule, the more energy that molecule can provide to the organism when it is used as food. 2 PGIL Activities for igh School Biology

25 12. What are the reactants of reaction A? 13. What are the products of reaction A? 14. Each of the reactants in reaction A is a single sugar molecule, also called a monosaccharide. What prefix before saccharide would you use to describe sucrose? 15. What are the reactants of reaction B? 16. When the two molecules in reaction B are joined together, what other two molecules are produced? 17. What product do all three reactions in Model 2 have in common? Read This! When sugars are joined together the new bond that forms is a glycosidic bond. When amino acids are joined the new bond that forms is a peptide bond. When fatty acids are joined to a glycerol the bond that holds them is an ester bond. 18. n the diagrams in Model 2, circle and label the glycosidic, peptide, and ester bonds. 19. These reactions are all referred to as dehydration synthesis or condensation reactions. With your group develop an explanation for why these terms are used to describe these reactions. 20. These reactions can also be reversed, breaking the large molecule into its individual molecules. What substance would need to be added in order to reverse the reaction? 21. Lysis means to split or separate. What prefix would you add to lysis to mean separate or split using water? 22. Using your answers to the previous two questions, what word is used to describe the reaction that uses water to break apart a large molecule? 4 PGIL Activities for igh School Biology

26 Extension Questions 23. Metabolism is the collective term used to describe all the chemical reactions taking place inside living organisms. Why is water so important for metabolic reactions? 24. We store excess food in our body either in the form of carbohydrates (in muscles and the liver) or as fat (adipose tissue). When our body needs additional energy it uses the carbohydrate source first as a source of quick energy, then the fat. Why do you think carbohydrates are used as a source of quick energy rather than fat? Use complete sentences and scientific terminology in your response. 25. Look at the two types of fatty acids below, saturated and unsaturated. What is the difference between the two? Saturated Fatty Acid Unsaturated Fatty Acid 26. Saturated fats are solid fats, like the animal fats lard and butter, whereas unsaturated fats are more fluid and form oils, such as vegetable oil. Trans fats are plant oils that are artificially solidified to make them suitable for baking purposes. In recent years trans fats have been associated with negative health issues and are not as widely used. Explain in simple molecular terms what would have to be done to a plant oil to transform it to a trans fat. Biological Molecules 5

27 Toothpick-ase: Introduction to Enzymes Enzymes are used in all metabolic reactions to control the rate of reactions and decrease the amount of energy necessary for the reaction to take place. Enzymes are specific for each reaction and are reusable. Enzymes have an area called the active site to which a specific substrate will bond temporarily while the reaction is taking place. Enzymes are proteins that are used as catalysts in biochemical reactions. A catalyst is a factor that controls the rate of a reaction without itself being used up. In biological systems, enzymes are used to speed up the rate of a reaction. owever, there are a number of factors that can affect the rate of an enzyme-facilitated reaction, in addition to the presence of the enzyme, amongst them are: 1. Substrate concentration 2. Temperature

WITUT LKING AT TE BWL, break as many toothpicks as you can in 10 second intervals and record this on the data table. Broken toothpicks should be kept in the bowl with unbroken toothpicks because products & reactants mix in metabolic reactions. D NT BREAK TTPIKS ALREADY BRKEN!
