Organic Molecules

• Molecules from living things that contain carbon!!– Carbon possess four valence electrons

Page 4: Organic Molecules Biology 1. Organic Molecules So we talked about atoms We go up to the next level MOLECULES!!!!!

Three reasons carbon molecules are so complex…

1. The four valence electrons allow to form four bonds

2. Carbon can bond to other carbon as well as different atoms

3. Carbon can bond in many different positions creating different shaped molecules (which determine function)

The 4th type of biochemical

macromolecules are the NUCLEIC ACIDSThe types of Nucleic Acids

–DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid)–RNA (RiboNucleic Acid)

Page 22: Organic Molecules Biology 1. Organic Molecules So we talked about atoms We go up to the next level MOLECULES!!!!!

“DNA” is short for DeoxyriboNucleic Acid• Now you know why they just call it DNA!

Page 23: Organic Molecules Biology 1. Organic Molecules So we talked about atoms We go up to the next level MOLECULES!!!!!

When studying these biochemical molecules, we are interested in

finding out…..• what they do for living things.• what they generally look like.• what their monomers are.• and how they may help the body gain

energy to sustain life.

Page 24: Organic Molecules Biology 1. Organic Molecules So we talked about atoms We go up to the next level MOLECULES!!!!!

Lets Begin with LIPIDS!

They are a great source of STORED ENERGY so we have it in the future.They INSULATE the body to maintain normal body temperature and they CUSHION the internal organs for protection.They produce hormones for the body called STERIODSThey waterproof surfaces of animals,plants, and fruits- these are waxes!THINK: Waterproof, insulate, steriods, energy, cushion… “WISE C”

Page 25: Organic Molecules Biology 1. Organic Molecules So we talked about atoms We go up to the next level MOLECULES!!!!!

LIPIDS…Some interesting info

•Fruits produce a waxy coating to keep from drying out.

• The cells in a tulip make a wax which helps coat the leaves.

•Ear wax traps dust, sand, and other foreign particles from going deeper into the ear and causing damage.

•Beeswax- a structural material to hold honey in the hive

Very Common Effects of Illegal SteroidsVery Common Effects of Illegal Steroids If used when the person is still growing, they will be shorter as an adult, anabolic steroids will decrease bone growth.Males will experience shrinking of the testicles, and with prolongeduse, the steroid will be turned into estrogen in the male body and it will start to lay fatty tissue on the chest, otherwise known as breasts.If genetically predisposed to becoming bald, balding will happen more quickly.If clean needles are not readily

available, there is a significantly higher risk of getting AIDS.Future risks of liver cancer & disease.

Enlarged heart which can lead to death

Page 29: Organic Molecules Biology 1. Organic Molecules So we talked about atoms We go up to the next level MOLECULES!!!!!

Illegal Steroid Use in WomenSome additional effects…

Breasts will decrease in size, the opposite of what happens to men.The woman will start to grow facial hair, how quickly depends on her genetic makeup. If she discontinues use, the facial hair will still continue to grow.If she is genetically predisposed to balding, she will start to lose her hair, just as if she was genetically male.

Her voice will start to deepen, how quickly depends on her genetics. If she discontinues use, her voice will remain deep.

OH NO CHO! Lipids like Carbs?

You might have noticed that both carbohydrates and lipids have the elements Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen.

“CHO”

A carbohydrate, has twice as many hydrogen atoms as the number of oxygen atoms.

EX: C6H12O6

(This is a carb= there are double the number of H compared to O)

On the other hand, lipids have a lot more than twice the amount hydrogen atoms as the number of oxygen atoms.

EX: C27H46O cholesterol

Page 37: Organic Molecules Biology 1. Organic Molecules So we talked about atoms We go up to the next level MOLECULES!!!!!

CARBOHYDRATES

They are the main source for the body to gain energy. They are our fuel!They make up the cell wall in plants which allow them to grow tall, without this carbohydrate, a plant would be a mushy mess! This type of carbohydrate is called Cellulose.

Cell Membrane

The cell membrane surrounds everything in a cell so it doesn’t leak out. It is kind of like the balloon in a water balloon.

The cell membrane is made mostly of protein AND lipids.

Page 50: Organic Molecules Biology 1. Organic Molecules So we talked about atoms We go up to the next level MOLECULES!!!!!

Antibodies are part of the immune system. When something enters the body that isn’t supposed to be

there, like certain bacteria, antibodies find the invader and stick themselves onto it. When a white blood cell

finds the invader covered with antibodies, it knows it doesn’t belong there and kills it.

Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. If you didn’t have enzymes in your

stomach to speed up digestion, the food would rot in your stomach because it would take so long!

Hormones are chemicals made in glands that are prepared in one place in the body and then travel into the bloodstream to be used in

another.

These are where thehormone producing glands are locatedin your body.

Page 53: Organic Molecules Biology 1. Organic Molecules So we talked about atoms We go up to the next level MOLECULES!!!!!

The thyroid is found in the middle of your neck, by your voice box. Here is a picture of those cells secreting the thyroid hormone.

Thyroid hormone regulates how fast your body uses energy. If you have an over active thyroid, you use energy quickly and tend to be

very thin and have a hard time putting on weight.

If you have an under active thyroid gland, you use energy very slowly and tend to carry more body fat and have a difficult time losing it.

Don’t be quick to think you have a thyroid problem if you are overweight, chances are it’s actually your eating and exercise habits!

(The yellow stuff isthyroid hormone)

The Making and Breaking of Organic Molecules

• Dehydration Synthesis: the process of making a larger molecule from 2 or more small molecules/monomers– One monomer loses a hydrogen ion (H+) and

another loses a hydroxide (OH-)

Page 77: Organic Molecules Biology 1. Organic Molecules So we talked about atoms We go up to the next level MOLECULES!!!!!

The Making and Breaking of Organic Molecules

– The loss of H+ and OH- (H2O) makes valence electrons available for bonds to form

– As a result of dehydration synthesis, the monomers lose or give off energy

Energy in Reactions

In order to stay alive, organisms need to carry out reactions that require energy.

Because matter and energy are conserved in chemical reactions, every organism must have a source of energy to carry out chemical reactions.

Plants get their energy from the sun.

Animals get their energy from eating plants or other animals.

Enzyme Action

Enzyme Action

For a chemical reaction to take place, the reactants must collide with enough energy so that existing bonds will be broken and new bonds will be formed.

If reactants do not have enough energy, no reaction will take place.

Enzyme Action

The Enzyme-Substrate Complex

Enzymes provide a site where reactants can be brought together to react, reducing the energy needed for reaction.

The reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions are known as substrates.

Enzyme Action

The substrates glucose and ATP bind to the active site on the enzyme, hexokinase, forming an enzyme-substrate complex. The fit is so precise that the active site and substrates are often compared to a lock and key.

Enzyme Action

The enzyme and substrates remain bound together until the reaction is done and the substrates are converted to products.

The products of the reaction are released and the enzyme is free to start the process again.

Enzyme Action

Regulation of Enzyme Activity

Enzymes can be affected by any variable that influences a chemical reaction.

Enzymes work best at certain pH values.

Many enzymes are affected by changes in temperature.

Enzymes

Cells can regulate the activities of enzymes.

Most cells contain proteins that help to turn key enzymes “on” and “off” at critical stages in the life of the cell.
