Organic Molecules

-A compound containing carbon

Page 2: + Organic Molecules -A compound containing carbon

+General Information

Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen make up 96% of living things.

ORGANIC COMPOUNDS are compounds that contain carbon

INORGANIC COMPOUNDS do not contain carbon OR contain carbon and are

oxides or carbonates e.g. CO2 is NOT organic

All organisms are organic.

Carbon can form many types of molecules due to its 4 valence electrons

Page 3: + Organic Molecules -A compound containing carbon

+Useful Information

“mono”-a prefix meaning one

“di”-a prefix meaning two

“poly”- a prefix meaning many

Saccharide-another word for sugar

As a naming convention sugars end in the suffix “ose”

As a naming convention proteins end in “in” or “gen” catalytic enzymes end in “ase”

+Use what you know!

Define the following: Monomer Disaccharide Polysaccharide polymer

Page 5: + Organic Molecules -A compound containing carbon

+Macromolecules

Giant molecules with many carbon atoms built through polymerization.

During polymerization monomers (single molecules) join together to form a polymer

Four basic types of macromolecules: Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids

Page 6: + Organic Molecules -A compound containing carbon

+Dehydration Synthesis

Dehydration synthesis is the reaction that occurs during polymerization.

In other words in order to hook monomers together to create polymers, the two monomers must undergo dehydration synthesis. (The same is true for a monomer and a dimer, or a polymer and a monomer)

Dehydration Synthesis occurs during polymerization. Dehydration synthesis is when an –H and an –OH are moved from two monomers to create a polymer. A molecule of water or H2O is formed

+Macromolecules

Are macromolecules polymers, monomers, or dimers?

Four basic types of macromolecules: Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids

Page 8: + Organic Molecules -A compound containing carbon

+Carbohydrates (sugars, starches)

Compounds composed of C, H, and O in a specific ratio (CH2O)n

Monosaccharide- simple sugars that generally have between 3-7 carbons

Disaccharide- 2 monosaccharaides joined together

Polysaccharide-multiple monosaccharaides joined together

Page 9: + Organic Molecules -A compound containing carbon

+Carbohydrates continued

Starches are complex carbohydrates found in foods like pasta, rice, bread, and potatoes

Sugars-are found in candy, sweets, and fruit.

PRIMARY FUNCTION: provide energy

Page 10: + Organic Molecules -A compound containing carbon

+Carbohydrates (sugars, starches)

Functional group- Hydroxyl Group. Written -OH

Page 11: + Organic Molecules -A compound containing carbon

+Lipids(fats, oils, and waxes)

Composed of glycerol and fatty acids.

Fatty acids can be saturated (single bonds only) or unsaturated (at least one double bond)

FATTY ACIDS-are composed of a hydrocarbon chain and a carboxylic acid group.

GLYCEROL- 3-Carbon molecule that serves as a lipid backbone

Glycerol

Page 12: + Organic Molecules -A compound containing carbon

+Lipids continued

Lipids are non-polar Will they dissolve in water?

PRIMARY PURPOSE: Energy Storage: fats yield 9

calories of energy per gram Cellular membranes Hormones Transport of fat-soluble vitamins

Page 13: + Organic Molecules -A compound containing carbon

+Protein(keratin, amylase)

Amino Acids Monomers of proteins 20 varieties Order of amino acids

determine shape of protein.

Page 14: + Organic Molecules -A compound containing carbon

+Amino acids continued

Bonds between amino acids are called peptide bonds.

Chains of amino acids are called polypeptide chains.

Enzymes- act as catalyst to increase rate of chemical reaction.

+Proteins continued.

PRIMARY FUNCTIONS: Make up tissues, organs, hair, spider web, etc Perform functions in bodies of organisms Control the expression of traits Support structure enzymes

Page 16: + Organic Molecules -A compound containing carbon

+Nucleic Acids-RNA

Nucleotides are the units of nucleic acids 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose) Phosphate group (5’ end) Nitrogenous Base

Four Bases in DNA. 2 Purines (double ring) and 2 Pyrimidines (single ring)

Guanine (purine) pairs with Cytosine (pyrimidine)

Adenine (purine) pairs with Thymine (pyrimidine)

Double Helix

Strands in opposite direction

Page 17: + Organic Molecules -A compound containing carbon

+Nucleic Acids-RNA

Single Stranded

Uracil replaces Thymine

Ribose replaces deoxyribose

Page 18: + Organic Molecules -A compound containing carbon

+Nucleic Acids

PRIMARY FUNCTIONS: Store hereditary information that can be translated into

proteins

+With your groups….

Please complete the table outlining important information for macro molecules

ADD AMINO ACIDS to the bottom of your list

Discuss Functional Groups when appropriate

+ACTIVITY!

1. Use scissors to separate the molecules.2. Assemble the following macromolecules and glue them

each to a white sheet of paper: Carbohydrate, triglyceride with unsaturated fat, triglyceride with saturated fat, protein, and nucleic acid.

3. Label each sheet with they type of macromolecule you have created, the components, and the function of the macromolecule

For each macromolecule a water molecule is formed with each bond. Where do the two hydrogen and oxygen molecules come from to form the water? What adjustment should you make to molecules to show evidence of bonding? (Disregard the water molecule when dealing with DNA)
