enantiomers: Chemical Components of Cells

- Larger hydrocarbons form fuels for engines. Hydrocarbons of fat
molecules fuel our bodies. Hydrocarbons
- Slide 3
- The unique properties of an organic compound depend not only on
its carbon skeleton but also on the atoms attached to the skeleton
These atoms are called functional groups Some common functional
groups include: Hydroxyl groupCarbonyl groupAmino groupCarboxyl
group Found in alcohols and sugars Found in sugars Found in amino
acids and urea in urine (from protein breakdown) Found in amino
acids, fatty acids, and some vitamins Carbon and Organic

- *most macromolecules are polymers polymer monomer The making
and breaking of polymers: Dehydration reaction:Hydrolysis:
Macromolecules

- Proteins Proteins perform most of the tasks the body needs to
function They are the most elaborate of lifes molecules MAJOR TYPES

- Carboxyl group Amino group Side group Side group Amino acid
Dehydration synthesis Side group Side group Peptide bond Cells link
amino acids together by dehydration synthesis Proteins as Polymers
The resulting bond between them is called a peptide bond

- Amino Acids
- Slide 8
- Primary structure The specific sequence of amino acids in a
protein 1 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95
100 105 110 115 120 125 129 Amino acid The arrangement of amino
acids makes each protein different Protein Structure
- Slide 9
- A slight change in the primary structure of a protein affects
its ability to function The substitution of one amino acid for
another in hemoglobin causes sickle-cell disease (a) Normal red
blood cellNormal hemoglobin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7... 146 (b) Sickled red
blood cellSickle-cell hemoglobin 2 3 1 45 6 7... 146 Protein

- Gene DNA RNA Protein Amino acid Nucleic acids Nucleic Acids
Include DNA and RNA Information storage molecules They provide the
directions for building proteins

- Phosphate group Nitrogenous base A, G, C, or U Uracil U Sugar
ribose Nitrogenous base (A,G,C, or T) Phosphate group Thymine (T)
Sugar (deoxyribose) Phosphate Base Sugar Nucleic acids are polymers
of nucleotides DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid RNA, ribonucleic acid
Nucleic Acids
