Organic compounds contain: lways Often Occasionally H N S O P Si Halogens Organic hemistry Slide 8 / 140 arbon atoms can form diverse molecules by bonding to four other atoms which are in different directions. This allows the molecule to take on a 3 configuration. It is this 3 structure that defines the molecule's function. Electron onfiguration Slide 9 / 140 arbon has four valence electrons to make covalent bonds. You should remember from chemistry, electron configuration is the key to an atom s characteristics. Electron configuration determines the kinds and number of bonds an atom will form with other atoms.

The most common of these are glucose and fructose. isaccharides are formed by combining two monosaccharides. Table sugar, (sucrose) is made up of glucose and fructose. Polysaccharides are formed by combining chains of many monosaccharides. Monosaccharides Slide 35 / 140 Monosaccharides are the simplest sugars.

The most important 3 are starch, glycogen, and cellulose.

21 Polysaccharides: Starch Slide 43 / 140 Starch is used for long term energy storage in plants. starch can be branched or unbranched. Polysaccharides: Glycogen Glycogen has the same kind of bond between monomers as starch but it is always highly branched. Slide 44 / 140 It is used for long term energy storage in animals. It's used in muscles to provide a local supply of energy when needed. Glycogen is broken down to obtain glucose. What kind of reaction is used? Polysaccharides: ellulose Slide 45 / 140 ellulose is a carbohydrate used to make cell walls in plants. ellulose has a different kind of bond between monomers, forming chains that are crosslinked by hydrogen bonds.

28 Parts of a Nucleotide Slide 58 / 140 Nucleotides have three parts: a base (a nitrogen compound) a sugar a phosphate Sugars Slide 59 / 140 Ribonucleic cid (RN) uses the sugar ribose, while eoxyribonucleic cid (N) uses the sugar deoxyribose. Ribose eoxyribose Here's the difference. Slide 60 / 140

29 Slide 61 / 140 Nucleotides Slide 62 / 140 Each strand is unique due to its sequence of bases. In this way, genetic information is stored in the sequence of nucleotides. Since the bases are not part of the sugar or the bond, the base sequence is independent of them. ny base sequence is possible. 25 The creation of a phosphodiester bond involves the removal of from the nucleotides: Slide 63 / 140 phosphates glucose water nucleic acids

35 RN Slide 71 / 140 RN is a single strand of nucleotides. This strand folds in on itself, hydrogen bonds forming between the bases, and between bases and surrounding water. These bonds cause RN to form different shapes. ifferent sequence of bases = different shapes RN base pair bonding Slide 72 / 140 onds form between bases in a predictable pattern. nucleotide with an adenine base () will hydrogen bond with a nucleotide with a uracil (U) base. nucleotide with a guanine (G) base bonds with a nucleotide with a cytosine () base. U G RN Slide 73 / 140 In early life, RN played many roles that have now been taken over by more specific molecules. RN's role is still essential, but more limited than it once was. Think back to last chapter and fill in the molecules which control these functions now. Function Then Now catalyze reactions RN store energy store genetic information RN RN

36 N Slide 74 / 140 N is double-stranded. It only forms one shape: the double-helix. Pair bonding between nucleotides still occurs, but in N it is between guanine (G) and cytosine () and between adenine () and thymine (T) Thymine denine ytosine T G Guanine ouble Helix Slide 75 / 140 Instead of nucleotides being attracted to other bases in the same strand, to create shapes, they bond to matching nucleotides in a second strand, to create the double stranded helix. N v. RN Slide 76 / 140 This makes N a better archive for genetic information since the bases are on the inside of the helix, protected. Thymine is also more stable than uracil. ut it also means that N can't directly work in the cell. It is a library of information, but the only way that information can be used is via RN. RN is chemically active in the cell, N is not.

37 Storage and Implementation of the Genetic ode Slide 77 / 140 So N is more useful and stable as an archive, while RN is more useful working in the cells. RN carries genetic information from N to where it can be used. N is maintained in a safe environment to maintain the integrity of the genetic code. RN is used throughout the cell to implement the genetic code that's stored within N. N and RN Slide 78 / 140 RN strands are shorter and less durable than N strands, but they are critical to communicate the instructions of the N code to the cell where they can be executed. Without RN, the information stored in N could not be used. nd without N, the information would not be as stable. 33 N is more stable than RN because. Slide 79 / 140 it can form a double helix it contains the base uracil it can form a double helix and contains the base uracil it can form a double helix and contains the base thymine

Proteins also called peptides also called polypeptides.

40 mino cids Slide 84 / 140 Proteins are chains of amino acids. There are 20 amino acids used to construct the vast majority of proteins. While there are a few others that are sometimes used, these 20 are the "standard" amino acids. ll life on Earth uses virtually the same set of amino acids to construct its proteins. omponents of mino cids mino cids always include an amine group (NH3), a carboxyl group (OOH) and a side chain that is unique to each amino acid. Slide 85 / 140 The side chain (sometimes called the R-group) determines the unique properties of each amino acid. Here it is symbolized by the letter "R". carboxyl group (OOH) amine group (NH3) side chain Peptide onds Slide 86 / 140 The chemical bond that is formed between amino acids is called a peptide bond. Like bonds between saccharides and nucleotides, they are formed by dehydration synthesis. Hydroxyl group H atom Water

Slide 91 (nswer) / 140 mine group arboxyl group Hydroxyl group R-group nswer Protein Shape and Structure Slide 92 / 140 Shape is critical to the function of a protein. protein's shape depends on four levels of structure: Primary Secondary Tertiary Quaternary

44 Proteins: Primary Structure Slide 93 / 140 The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of amino acids that comprise it. Each protein consists of a unique sequence. lanine Valine Leucine Serine Lysine or Leucine Leucine lanine or Lysine lanine Serine Lysine or... hanges in Primary Structure Slide 94 / 140 hanges in the primary structure of a protein are changes in its amino acid sequence. hanging an amino acid in a protein changes its primary structure, and can affect its overall structure and ability to function. Sickle ell disease is an example of a single amino acid defect Sickle ell isease Slide 95 / 140 Sickle ell isease is a blood disorder specifically involving hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. single glutamate amino acid is replaced in the primary sequence by a valine.the result changes the overall shape of the hemoglobin molecule and does not allow it to properly carry oxygen.

45 Secondary Structure Slide 96 / 140 Secondary Structure is a result of hydrogen bond formation between amine and carboxyl groups of amino acids in each polypeptide chain. epending on where the groups are relative to one another, the secondary structure takes the shape of an alpha helix or a pleated sheet. Note: R-groups do not play a role in secondary structure. Secondary Structure Slide 97 / 140 pleated sheets alpha helix Tertiary Structure Slide 98 / 140 Tertiary Structure is the overall 3- shape of the polypeptide. It results from the clustering of hydrophobic and hydrophilic R-groups and bonds between them along the helices and pleats.

46 Structure etermines Function Slide 99 / 140 The function of proteins is determined by their shape: it's tertiary structure. It's shape is driven by chemistry, but it is the shape, not the chemistry, that dictates function. Each sequence of amino acids folds in a different way as each amino acid in the chain interacts with water and the other amino acids in the protein uniquely. For instance, upon contacting water, a protein can fold into grooves that function as binding sites for other molecules. enaturation Slide 100 / 140 hanges in heat, ph, and salinity can cause proteins to unfold and lose their functionality, known as denaturation. This egg's protein has undergone denaturation and loss of solubility, caused by the high rise in the temperature of the egg during the cooking process. 38 The tertiary structure of a protein refers to: Slide 101 / 140 its size the presence of pleated sheets its over all 3 structure the number of R-groups it contains

53 Review: molecules and water Slide 113 / 140 Recall the definitions of hydrophobic and hydrophilic. water water Hydrophobic molecules Hydrophilic molecules mphiphilic Slide 114 / 140 mphiphilic molecules have a hydrophobic "tail" and a hydrophilic "head". So one of its ends is attracted to water, while the other end is repelled. What molecule did we already learn about that was amphiphilic? hydrophilic hydrophobic Lipids are either hydrophobic or amphiphilic. Triglicerides: Hydrophobic Lipids Triglicerides are hydrophobic. They are constructed from two types of smaller molecules: a single glycerol and three fatty acids Slide 115 / 140 Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with a very long chain of carbon atoms.

The phosphate end is polar and hydrogen bonds with water. The fatty acids are made of long chains of carbon and hydrogen, making them non-polar. s a result, the phosphate end is hydrophilic and the fatty-acid end is hydrophobic. Overall, phospholipids are amphiphilic. 45 How are lipids different from other large biological molecules?

Fatty cid onding Structure Slide 123 / 140 Saturated fatty acids double bond Unsaturated fatty acids Trans Fats Slide 124 / 140 The chemical process that's used to saturate unsaturated fatty acids can lead to transfats. These have a double bond that is rotated, resulting in a linear chain. These do not function well in biological systems and are a health hazard. Trans unsaturated fatty acids (transfats) click here to see a video on lipids twisted double bond

58 Trans Fat: Margarine Slide 125 / 140 Margarine is a trans fat which which developed during World War II ue to a milk and butter shortage, scientists took corn oil and hydrogenated it. The double bonds became single bonds and a solid was formed Health Hazards of Trans Fats Slide 126 / 140 Trans fats tend to stay in the bloodstream much longer than saturated or unsaturated fats. Trans fats are much more prone to arterial deposition and plaque formation. Trans fats are thought to play a role in the following diseases and disorders: cancer, alzheimers disease, diabetes, obesity, liver dysfunction, and infertity. mphiphilic Lipids: Soaps and etergents Slide 127 / 140 The hydrophobic end of a soap or detergent is repelled by water, but attracted to other non-polar molecules, like grease and oil. The hydrophilic end of the soap or detergent hydrogen bonds with water.

59 Soaps and etergents Slide 128 / 140 So the soap or detergent bonds with many stains (oil, grease, etc.) and pulls them from the surface being cleaned and into the surrounding water. The water then goes down the drain, along with the oil or grease, leaving the surface clean. IRT IRT REMOVE detergent hydrophobic end hydrophilic end fabric being washed Waxes Slide 129 / 140 Waxes are effective hydrophobic coatings formed by many organisms (insects, plants, humans) to ward off water. They consist of 1 long fatty acid attached to an alcohol. Steroids Slide 130 / 140 Steroids are lipids with backbones which form rings. holesterol is an important steroid as are the male and female sex hormones, testosterone and estrogen.
