1 Name: Period: Date: I. ROLE OF CARBON IN ORGANISMS: = compounds that contain carbon Ex: Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins = compounds that DO NOT contain carbon Ex: Vitamins, minerals, water Carbon forms covalent bonds to become stable Can join with other carbons to form straight, branches or. These structures may contain carbon atoms This makes many possible! = the simplest carbon compound (CH 4 ) = any molecule made ONLY of and atoms! Ex: Methane Methane s or chemical formula is Methane s : o Bonds are represented by 1

2 = compounds that have the same but different Ex: Glucose & Fructose o Formula- can range from carbon atoms to of carbon atoms II. THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM: The digestive system breaks down organic compounds into their building blocks ( ) Body cells take the monomers and put them together in the form the body can use = extremely large compounds made of smaller ones. = large molecule formed when many smaller molecules (monomers) bond together, usually in chains Ex: Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids Polymers and their monomers: POLYMERS MONOMERS (building blocks) Carbohydrate Protein Lipid Nucleic Acid WHAT PROCESS ALLOWS BODY CELLS TO MAKE LARGE COMPOUNDS FROM MONOMERS? or Condensation = The of and (water)from the individual molecules so that a may form between them and result in a more molecule organic molecules bonds = store energy o Humans production o Plants fruit & veggie production 2

3 Dehydration synthesis represented by an equation: Monomer + Monomer ----> Polymer + water For example: 1. Amino Acid + Amino Acid ---> 2. Monosaccharide + Monosaccharide---> 3. Fatty Acids + Glycerol ---> + H 2 O + H 2 O WHAT PROCESS ALLOWS THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM TO BREAKDOWN NUTRIENTS? =(hydro =, Lysis = ) The breaking of a large compound (polymer) into smaller compounds (monomers) through the addition of -H and OH (water). Breaks organic molecules Break bonds = release energy Occurs during release energy from food Hydrolysis represented by an equation: Polymer + water ----> monomers For example: 1. Protein + water ----> 2. Carbohydrate + water ---> 3. Lipid + water --> 3

4 HYDROLYSIS OF SUCROSE: + H 2 O WHAT DO ATHLETES EAT THE DAY BEFORE A BIG GAME? III. CARBOHYDRATES: Foods: pasta, bread, fruits, veggies Compounds used for and release of Made of C, H, O atoms Reduced formula: How do you identify a carbohydrate? Look at the number of atoms Ratio is Hydrogen atoms : Oxygen atom 3 types of carbohydrates: 1. = C 6 H 12 O 6 sugar (6 carbons) Ex: Only form our can use for energy 2. = C 12 H 22 O 11 sugar made of 2 simple sugars (monosaccharide. + monosaccharide.) 4

5 Combined by reaction Ex: sucrose, lactose, maltose : (table sugar) Glucose + Fructose sucrose + H 2 O : (milk sugar) Glucose + Galactose lactose + H 2 O : Glucose + Glucose maltose + H 2 O 3. = More than 2 joined by dehydration synthesis Ex: - Plant s energy storing molecule - Animal s energy storing molecule o Energy storage form of o Found in the liver and skeletal muscle o When the body needs between meals/physical activity, glycogen is broken down into glucose through - provides structure in plant cell walls (cannot be digested by human body) Starch 5

6 What happens to CARBOHYDRATES in the body? Broken down by the digestive system via HYDROLYSIS into which are then absorbed into the body through the, where the body cells take the monosaccharides and produce. After the immediate energy requirements of all your body's tissues have been met, the excess glucose in your blood will be converted into a storage form of carbohydrate called (found in your muscles and liver). If all of your glycogen stores are full and you still have excess glucose in your bloodstream, the remaining glucose will be converted to. IV. FUNCTIONAL GROUPS: Functional groups give a molecule properties : (-OH) allows molecule to be more soluble in water Alcohol Group : (-COOH) allows molecule to release H ions in watertherefore! There is a between carbon and oxygen Carboxyl Group : (-NH 2 ) allows molecule to accept ions from acids therefore basic! Amino Group H H H H C C C H OH OH OH 6

7 I. LIPIDS: : butter, oil, Crisco, lard Commonly called & Contain C-H bonds and O atoms than. Ex: C 57 H 110 O 6 Nonpolar; therefore repel ( ) Functions of lipids in our body: 1. energy storage (used when carbohydrates are NOT available) body tissue (cushioning) WHICH HAS MORE ENERGY LIPIDS OR CARBS? One gram of contains as much as one gram of. Therefore, are better compounds! Fats vs. Carbs. & Energy Storage: 1 gram of Carbs. (glycogen) = about of energy o a short term rapid energy source (sprint events) 1 gram of Fats = about of energy o a long term energy source (endurance events - marathons) Average human contains about 0.5 Kg of stored glycogen = 2,000 Kcal of energy. About 16 Kg of body fat = 144,000 Kcal To carry the same amount of energy [144,000 Kcal] as carbs., we would have to store 36 Kg [79.4 lb] more of glycogen to lose 1 Kg of body fat which means, you need to burn lots of calories! 7

8 Types and Examples of Lipids: 1. - steroids 2. bee, furniture, ear, car 3. - in egg yolks, red meat 4. - from animals 5. from plants Carboxyl group Structure of Lipids: Basic building blocks: + Fatty Acids o Long with a group at one end Glycerol and each fatty acid chain are joined to each other by. 8

9 Structure of a lipid (1 glycerol + 3 fatty acids): Glycerol 3 Fatty Acids 3 types of fats: 1. = fatty acid chains of carbon with only bonds between the carbon atoms o - cholesterol (heart disease) o at room temperature Ex: 2. = fatty acid chains of carbon with ONE bond between the carbon atoms o o at room temperature Ex: 3. = more than one double bond between the carbon atoms in the chain o Ex: nuts, seeds, fish, leafy greens Structural formulas for saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids: Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid 9

10 What happens to LIPIDS in the body? Broken down by the digestive system via HYDROLYSIS into and which are then absorbed into the body through the bloodstream. The fatty acids can then be broken down directly to get, or can be used to make glucose = Majority of fat in organism consist of this type of fat molecules Derived from fats eaten in or made in the body from other energy sources like carbohydrates. Calories ingested in a meal and not used immediately by tissues are converted to triglycerides and transported to fat cells to be stored. o Storage 3 month supply of vs. glycogen s 24 hour supply Hormones regulate the release of triglycerides from fat tissue so they meet the body's needs for energy between meals. Excess Triglycerides- Life Applications: Cause plaque to build up o = walls of the arteries get thick and hard; fat builds up inside the walls and slows the blood flow Cause blood clots heart attacks, strokes o (high blood pressure) II. PROTEINS: : meats, soy, cheese Large complex polymer composed of C, H, O, N, & sometimes S Monomers (basic building blocks): different amino acids Example amino acids: 10

11 Structure of an amino acid: Central carbon atom boded with. The other 3 bonds are with an group (-NH 2 ), a group (-COOH) and a group (-R) o The variable group makes each amino acid! Amino acids are linked together by to form a protein Ex: 2 amino acids joined by = a covalent bond that joins amino acids to each other Forms between the group of one amino acid and the group of another Proteins- named for the of amino acids that make them Ex: o two amino acids = o three amino acids = o many amino acids = Essential Amino Acids: of the amino acids are essential because they are required by the body but are created by it. o As a result, it must be provided by our. If one is missing then proper growth and repair cannot be. 11

12 Functions of proteins in our body: 1. contraction 2. Transport in the bloodstream 3. Provide (antibodies) 4. Carry out reactions What happens to PROTEINS in the body?

Enzyme(s) reduce = amount of energy needed to begin a reaction = an organic molecule with the enzyme to in the reaction. Need an active site on the enzyme - attracts and holds only molecules called. o Lock-and-key system Therefore, enable molecules called to undergo a chemical change to form new substances, called. 12

13 Example of the of sucrose using the enzyme ( ) = a substance that the activity of an enzyme by entering the in place of the whose structure it. 13

14 Could not without enzymes! (Almost all chemical reactions in cells require an enzyme) o Speed up the reactions in: 1. of food 2. of molecules 3. of energy are named for the compound they work on. You drop the current compound ending and replace it with o For example: o Lactose s enzyme is o Maltose's enzyme is o Sucrose's enzyme is o (in your salvia)is the enzyme for starch 2 Factors that affect enzymes: 1. - To high temp. will denature (break apart) enzymes 2. HOW DOES OUR BODY GET ENERGY FROM THE BREAKING DOWN OF MOLECULES? 14
