Macromolecules• Monomers= single units• Polymer= many

monomers bound together

• Monomers, the single units, are polymerized (joined together) to form a polymer

4 Biomolecules in living things

Four groups of organic compounds found in living things are:

• carbohydrates• lipids• nucleic acids• proteins

Page 4: Biomolecules macromolecules

I. Carbohydrates

• Carbohydrates • organic compound made of C, H, & O.

Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are usually in the ratio of 1:2:1

C6H12O6

Page 5: Biomolecules macromolecules

Function of Carbohydrates

• Living things use carbohydrates as their main source of energy

• Plants and some animals use them as structural support

Page 6: Biomolecules macromolecules

Examples of Carbohydrates

• Sugars– Monosaccharides– Disaccharides– Polysaccharides

Page 7: Biomolecules macromolecules

3 types of sugars:

• Monosaccharides-simple sugars ( 1 sugar

carbohydrate)• Glucose &

Fructose

• Disaccharides– sucrose & Lactose ( 2

sugars linked together)

• Polysaccharides– many simple sugars

linked together

Proteins

Polymers of amino acids

Amino Acids are linked together to make proteins.

Amino acids are the monomers and proteins are the polymers.

Page 55: Biomolecules macromolecules

Amino acids

• There are 20 different amino acids that are incorporated into proteins.

• All amino acids have an Amino Group (NH2), a Carboxyl group (COOH), and an R-Group (unique side chain that distinguishes that amino acid.

Page 56: Biomolecules macromolecules

Amino Acid Monomers

• Amino acids differ in their properties due to differing side chains, called R groups

• The sequence of amino acids determines a protein’s three-dimensional structure

• A protein’s structure determines its function

Page 60: Biomolecules macromolecules

Four Levels of Protein Structure

• The primary structure of a protein is its unique sequence of amino acids

• Secondary structure, found in most proteins, consists of coils and folds in the polypeptide chain

• Tertiary structure is determined by interactions among various side chains (R groups)

• Quaternary structure results when a protein consists of multiple polypeptide chains

Sickle-Cell Disease: A Change in Primary Structure

• A slight change in primary structure can affect a protein’s structure and ability to function

• Sickle-cell disease, an inherited blood disorder, results from a single amino acid substitution in the protein hemoglobin

What Determines Protein Structure?

• In addition to primary structure, physical and chemical conditions can affect structure

• Alterations in pH, salt concentration, temperature, or other environmental factors can cause a protein to unravel

• This loss of a protein’s native structure is called denaturation

• A denatured protein is biologically inactive
