Lecture 2- Introduction to Biological Molecules
  1. Important Macromolecules
    1. Carbohydrates
      1. Lipids
        1. Proteins
          1. Nucleic acids
          2. Monomers
            1. Monomers join together with covalent bonds to form long chains or macromolecules known as polymers
            2. Polymer Formation
              1. Formed by a type of condensation reaction known as dehydration synthesis
                1. A molecule of water is formed and removed from the reactants joined during the reaction
                  1. H2O is formed from the loss of a hydroxyl group (OH-) from one reactant and a hydrogen (H-) from the other

                    2. Polymer Breakdown
                      1. Polymers are broken down by a process known as hydrolysis
                        1. Bonds between reactants are broken down with the addition of a molecule of water
                          1. The hydroxyl (-OH) group of a water molecule bonds with one reactant and the hydrogen (-H) bonds to its neighbour
                            1. Energy held in the bond is released and stored in the form of ATP
                              1. Diagram
                              2. Digestion of polymers
                                1. Polymers like starch are broken down into smaller sugar units which are easily absorbed across the gut
                                  1. The hydrolysis reaction requires help from digestive enzymes
                                  2. Water
                                    1. Roles in The Body
                                      1. Universal solvent and transporter
                                        1. Lubricant
                                          1. Regulates body temperature
                                          2. The Water Molecule
                                            1. 1) The oxygen atom contains 8 positively charged elected protons in its nucleus
                                              1. 2) Each hydrogen atom contains only 1 positively charged proton in its nucleus
                                                1. 3) The electron pair shared in each O-H covalent bond is therefore more strongly attracted to the oxygen nucleus than to either of the hydrogen nuclei
                                                  1. 4) This makes the water molecule polar with a slightly negative pole near the oxygen and a slightly positive pole near the hydrogen
                                                  2. Hydrogen Bonding
                                                    1. The delta + near the hydrogen atom is attracted to the delta - near the oxygen atom of a neighbouring water molecule
                                                      1. This results in the formation of a hydrogen bond between two water molecules
