Warm-Up
• Title: Biomolecules• Date:
• List the percentages of each:– Fat– Carbohydrates– Protein
• Describe how each one is important to you? How do they help your body?
What am a I learning today????
• Identify biomolecules.• Compare the structure and functions of
biomolecules known as:– Carbohydrates– Lipids– Proteins– Nucleic acids
• AHHHHH……WHAT???? Let’s simplify these terms.
Biomolecules
• Carbohydrates:– Aka: sugars – glucose, sucrose,
fructose, etc– Function: Provide energy
• Lipids:– Aka: fats – triglycerides,
saturated/unsaturated– Function: Long-term energy,
insulation
Biomolecules
• Proteins:– Aka: Amino acids –– Function: build muscle, bones, pretty
much the body
• Nucleic Acids:– Aka: DNA/RNA – your genetic code– Function: Instructions for your cell –
the BIG BOSS
So lets think about this….
• Bio-molecules make:– Organelles (tiny cell organs)– Cells– Tissue– Organ– Organ systes– Organsism
Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids,
found in food help make me along
with nucleic acids!!!!
How about orange juice?
Carbohydrates???
Lipids???
Proteins???
How about meat?
Carbohydrates???
Lipids???
Proteins???
How about ice cream?
Carbohydrates???
Lipids???Proteins???
List the 4 Biomolecules

Four groups of organic compounds found in living things are:
• carbohydrates
• proteins
• nucleic acids
• lipids

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates
Compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms,
Ratio of 1 : 2 : 1.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Carbohydrates
What is the function of carbohydrates?
Source of Energy for cell function
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Carbohydrates
Different sizes of carbohydrates:
Monosaccharides – single (1) sugar (glucose- C6H12O6, fructose)
Disaccharides – double (2) sugar (sucrose-C12H22O11)
Polysaccharides – many sugars (starch, glycogen, cellulose)
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Carbohydrates
Polysaccharides: Starches and sugars - examples of carbohydrates that are used by living things as a source of energy.
Examples:Cellulose - plants make it for cell walls
Starch - (long chain of glucose)
Glycogen – stored in humans

Which of the following statements about cellulose is true?
a. Animals make it and use it to store energy.
b. Plants make it and use it to store energy.
c. Animals make it and use it as part of the skeleton.
d. Plants make it and use it to give structural support to cells.

Proteins
macromolecules that contain nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
- Monomer: amino acids.
- Polymer: protein (polypeptide chain)
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Proteins
Amino Acids: connected by peptide bonds

ProteinsFunction of Proteins
Instructions for arranging amino acids into many different proteins are stored in DNA.

Proteins
Some functions of proteins:
–Control rate of reactions – Enzymes
–Used to form bones and muscles
–Transport substances into or out of cells
–Help to fight disease - antibodies

Proteins are among the most diverse macromolecules because
a. they contain both amino groups and carboxyl groups.
b. they can twist and fold into many different and complex structures.
c. they contain nitrogen as well as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
d. their R groups can be either acidic or basic.

A major difference between polysaccharides and proteins is that
a. plants make polysaccharides, while animals make proteins.
b. proteins are made of monomers, while polysaccharides are not.
c. polysaccharides are made of monosaccharides, while proteins are made of amino acids.
d. proteins carry genetic information, while polysaccharides do not.

Many lipids are formed from glycerol and
a. fatty acids.
b. monosaccharides.
c. amino acids.
d. nucleic acids.
Write this down on the back
Monomer + monomer = polymer
Glucose + glucose = carbs
Amino acid + amino acid = protein
Glycerol + 3 fatty acids = lipid
Nucleotide + nucleotide = nucleic acid (DNA/RNA)
