Resource summary
Organic Molecules
Carbohydrates
Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides
Glucose: immediate source of energy of cells
Polysaccharides: energy storage compunds or structural role
Generalities:
Carbon
Bonding
Carbon can bond with as many as four other atoms
Carbon can bond with itself to form both chains and rings
Differences in the carbon skeleton = different chemical properties
Hydrophobic: repels water. Hydrophilic: attracts water.
Biomolecules
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins and Nucleic Acids
Polymers are formed by the joining together of Monomers
Proteins
Functions: support, metabolism, transport, defense, regulation, motion.
Polypeptide: long chain of amino acids joined by peptide bonds
20 different amino acids in cells
Levels of structure
Primary: sequence
Secundary: alpha helices and beta sheets. Hydrogen bonding.
Tertiary: final folding; bonding and hydrophobic interactions.
Quaternary: Polypeptide>1
Shape = Function
Nucleic Acids
DNA and RNA=polymers of nucleotides
Nucleotide=phosphate, 5 carbon sugar, nitrogen-cont. base
DNA
Phosphate, deoxribose and N cont. bases
Stores info for replication and for order of aminoacids
Double helix: A-T, C-G: N bonding
RNA
Phosphate, ribose and AUCG bases.
Single stranded
ATP
Unstable phosphate bonds
Energy currency
Lipids
Variety of compounds that are insoluble in water
Fats and oils: long term energy storage
One glycerol. Three fatty acids.
Nonpolar: insoluble in water
Fats: saturated fatty acids: no carbon-carbon double bonds
Oils: unsaturated fatty acids: double bonds in hydrocarbon chain
Phospholipid: Two fatty acids. One Phosphate group.
Bilayer: hydrophilic head, hydrophobic tails
Steroids: four ring structure, different by the groups attached to them.
Waxes: One fatty acid. One hydrocarbon chain bonded to an alcohol with a long hydrocarbon chain.
