Big Idea C H O N P S
Macromolecules carbohydrates lipids proteins nucleic acids Macromolecule Simple molecule Polymer Monomer Made of
Macromolecules Macromolecules are formed by polymerization , in which large polymers are built by joining small subunits called monomers together. monomers = subunits = building blocks of molecules polymers = monomers joined up by polymerization
What Elements built Biological Molecules? Hydrogen (valence = 1) Oxygen (valence = 2) Nitrogen (valence = 3) Carbon (valence = 4) H O N C

Carbohydrate Structure
Reaction Condensation 2 molecules of glucose react becomes maltose and release a water Hydrolysis 1 molecule of maltose become 2 molecules of glucose and require a water. Glycosidic bond C–O–C link between two sugar molecules, formed by a condensation reaction ; it is a covalent bond 1,4 links glycosidic bond between carbon number 1 and carbon number 4 next glucose molecule. (found in amylose, amylopectine , glycogen, cellulose) 1,6 links glycosidic bond between carbon number 1 and carbon number 6 next glucose molecule (Making branch in amylopectine and glycogen)

Carbohydrate Function organisms’ main source of immediate energy structural purposes
Lipid Structure made up of C, H, and O made up of glycerol and fatty acids long chains
Lipid
Ester bond ester bond / ester linkage: a chemical bond , represented as –COO– , formed when an acid reacts with an alcohol
Saturated and Unsaturated Fat
Phospholipids
Lipid Functions make up fats, oils, and waxes store energy, makes up the cell membrane, and used in waterproof coverings walrus blubber = lipids to store energy waxy cuticle of leaf = lipids to repel water
Proteins
Protein Structure made up of C, H, O, N amino acid subunits form long polypeptide chains over 20 different amino acids an individual amino acid
Peptide Bond Peptide bond: the covalent bond joining neighbouring amino acids together in proteins; it is a C–N link between two amino acid molecules , formed by a condensation reaction
Primary structure Primary structure: the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide or protein.
Secondary Structure secondary structure: the structure of a protein molecule resulting from the regular coiling or folding of the chain of amino acids (an α-helix or β- pleated sheet )
Tertiary structure tertiary structure: the compact structure of a protein molecule resulting from the three dimensional coiling of the chain of amino acids
Quaternary structure quaternary structure: the three-dimensional arrangement of two or more polypeptides, or of a polypeptide and a non-protein component such as haem , in a protein molecule
Globular protein G lobular protein: a protein whose molecules are folded into a relatively spherical shape, often has physiological roles and is often water-soluble and metabolically active, e.g. insulin, haemoglobin and enzymes
Fibrous protein F ibrous protein: a protein whose molecules have a relatively long, thin structure that is generally insoluble and metabolically inactive, and whose function is usually structural, e.g. keratin and collagen
Protein Function the most diverse macromolecules various roles: speed up reactions ( enzymes) form muscles transport substances fight disease
Proteins, cont. hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells insulin is a protein that regulates blood sugar
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic Acid Structure made up of C, H, O, N, and P subunits: nucleotides nucleotides are made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base
Nucleic Acid Function store and transmit hereditary information
Nucleic Acids, cont. Two examples: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
Whiteboard Question Which is a carbohydrate? Amylase Cellulose Glycerol Polypeptide
Whiteboard Question Which characteristic can best distinguish between two different proteins? the presence of nitrogen in the proteins the sequence of amino acids in the proteins the number of amino acids found in the proteins the location of the peptide bonds in the proteins
Whiteboard Practice
Whiteboard Question Which best describes the importance of carbohydrates to organisms? Carbohydrates provide storage for water molecules. Carbohydrates provide an immediate energy source. Carbohydrates provide an additional source for amino acids. Carbohydrates provide permanent storage for genetic information.
What is the significance of nucleic acids for cells? They generate energy for the cell. They restrict what enters and leaves the cell. They support and maintain the shape of the cell. They provide all instructions for cellular activities. End
Which is the best example of a monosaccharide, or simple sugar? Starch Glucose Cellulose Glycogen End
Which best describes the role of hemoglobin in red blood cells? It hydrates human body tissues. It supplies support to human body tissues. It transports oxygen to human body tissues. It increases the rate of reactions in body tissues . End
