2 1. Polymers Chapter Reading pg. 67
3 What are Polymers? Polymers are chains of smaller molecules:
4 Dehydration Synthesis Building biological polymers involves the loss of H 2 O: (a) Dehydration reaction: synthesizing a polymer Short polymer Unlinked monomer Dehydration removes a water molecule, forming a new bond Longer polymer
5 Hydrolysis of Polymers Breaking down polymers requires water: (b) Hydrolysis: breaking down a polymer Hydrolysis adds a water molecule, breaking a bond
6 2. Carbohydrates Chapter Reading pp

8 Carbohydrate Monomers & Polymers monosaccharides, disaccharides & polysaccharides ( saccharide is Greek for sugar) 2 monosaccharides Glucose Glucose 1 disaccharide Important monosaccharides: GLUCOSE & FRUCTOSE Important disaccharides: Maltose SUCROSE, LACTOSE & MALTOSE
9 Linear and Ring Forms (a) Linear and ring forms Monosaccharides that can adopt the ring form have 5 carbons (pentoses) or 6 carbons (hexoses) (b) Abbreviated ring structure
10 Some Important Monosaccharides Aldose (Aldehyde Sugar) Ketose (Ketone Sugar) Trioses: 3-carbon sugars (C 3 H 6 O 3 ) Glyceraldehyde Dihydroxyacetone Aldoses have a terminal carbonyl (aldehyde) group Ketoses have an internal carbonyl (ketone) group Aldose (Aldehyde Sugar) Ketose (Ketone Sugar) Pentoses: 5-carbon sugars (C 5 H 10 O 5 ) Aldose (Aldehyde Sugar) Ketose (Ketone Sugar) Hexoses: 6-carbon sugars (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) Ribose Ribulose Glucose Galactose Fructose

16 3. Proteins Chapter Reading pp
17 Overview of Proteins Proteins are polymers of amino acids and have a tremendous variety of functions. proteins carry out most of the activities toward maintaining homeostasis in cells and staying alive made from elements C, H, O, N & S
18 Functions of Proteins Proteins have a wide variety of functions and carry out most of the biochemical activities in cells: ENZYMATIC PROTEINS Function: Selective acceleration of chemical reactions Example: Digestive enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of bonds in food molecules. DEFENSIVE PROTEINS Function: Protection against disease Example: Antibodies inactivate and help destroy viruses and bacteria. Antibodies Enzyme Virus Bacterium STORAGE PROTEINS Function: Storage of amino acids Examples: Casein, the protein of milk, is the major source of amino acids for baby mammals. Plants have storage proteins in their seeds. Ovalbumin is the protein of egg white, used as an amino acid source for the developing embryo. TRANSPORT PROTEINS Function: Transport of substances Examples: Hemoglobin, the iron-containing protein of vertebrate blood, transports oxygen from the lungs to other parts of the body. Other proteins transport molecules across cell membranes. Transport protein Ovalbumin Amino acids for embryo Cell membrane
19 more Protein Functions HORMONAL PROTEINS Function: Coordination of an organism s activities Example: Insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas, causes other tissues to take up glucose, thus regulating blood sugar concentration RECEPTOR PROTEINS Function: Response of cell to chemical stimuli Example: Receptors built into the membrane of a nerve cell detect signaling molecules released by other nerve cells. High blood sugar Insulin secreted Normal blood sugar Signaling molecules Receptor protein CONTRACTILE AND MOTOR PROTEINS Function: Movement Examples: Motor proteins are responsible for the undulations of cilia and flagella. Actin and myosin proteins are responsible for the contraction of muscles. STRUCTURAL PROTEINS Function: Support Examples: Keratin is the protein of hair, horns, feathers, and other skin appendages. Insects and spiders use silk fibers to make their cocoons and webs, respectively. Collagen and elastin proteins provide a fibrous framework in animal connective tissues. Actin Myosin Collagen Muscle tissue Connective 100 m tissue 60 m
20 Amino Acids Amino acids are the monomers from which the polymers we call proteins are made. Side chain (R group) carbon Each amino acid has a central carbon atom to which is attached: an amino group a carboxyl group Amino group Carboxyl group a hydrogen atom a variable R group

22 Polar Amino Acids POLAR SIDE CHAINS HYDROPHILIC Serine (Ser or S) Threonine (Thr or T) * Cysteine (Cys or C) The R groups on all of these AAs are polar because they have polar chemical groups Tyrosine (Tyr or Y) Asparagine (Asn or N) Glutamine (Gln or Q) The R groups of these AAs mix well with water and other polar substances
23 Charged Amino Acids The R groups of these AAs are acidic or basic and as a result have a net charge at neutral ph. interact well with water, oppositely charged substances ELECTRICALLY CHARGED SIDE CHAINS HYDROPHILIC Acidic (negatively charged) Basic (positively charged) Aspartic acid (Asp or D) Glutamic acid (Glu or E) Lysine (Lys or K) Arginine (Arg or R) Histidine (His or H)
