30 Essential Questions: How do the structure and caloric value of 31 organic molecules contribute to the function in the human body? How are biochemical reactions related to organic molecules? Proteins Carbohydrates Biochemistry Lipids Example: Enzymes
Pg. 30 Essential Questions: How do the molecules contribute to the function in the related to organic molecules? Carbohydrates Structure Monomer- Simple Sugars/Monosaccharide Ex: Glucose POLYmer- Complex Sugar/POLYsaccharide Ex: Starch Function: Main Source of Energy!!! (in bonds) Consume too much = fat Consumption Digestion Bloodstream Cells Energy 1 g of Sugar = 4 calories Lipids (Fats, Oils, Waxes) Monomer- glycerol and fatty acid Polymer- triglyceride Function: stored energy!, insulation, cushion vital organs Used in absence of carbohydrates 1 g of Fat = 9 calories Biochemistry structure and caloric value of organic human body? How are biochemical reactions Proteins Monomer- amino acids POLYmer- POLYpeptide (protein) Function: building blocks for muscle, transport, structure Can be used for energy if shortage of Carbs and Lipids 1 g of Protein = 4 calories Example: Enzymes Catalysts- speed up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. Enzymes are specific! Will only work on substrates/reactants that FIT the active site. May be altered by change in temperature and ph (no longer function- denatured)
