The Role of Carbon in Organisms

Let’s draw carbon…

CarbonA carbon atom has four electrons

available for bonding in its outer energy level. In order to become stable, a carbon atom forms four covalent bonds that fill its outer energy level.

Two carbon atoms can form various types of covalent bonds: Single

Double

Triple

When carbon atoms bond to each other they can

form: Straight Chains Branched Chains Rings (like glucose)

Polymer Polymer - large molecule made of

many smaller molecules that bond together.

Polymers are made of monomers!

Types of PolymersPolymers1. Carbohydrates2. Proteins3. Lipids4. Nucleic Acids

Their Monomers…1. Monosaccharide2. Amino Acids3. Fatty Acids4. Nucleotides

Carbohydrates Composed of Carbon, hydrogen,

and oxygen. Ratio of 1:2:1 Simplest type of carbohydrate is a

simple sugar called a monosaccharide.

Monosaccharide - 1 ring Example: glucose

Disaccharide - 2 (glucose + fructose = sucrose)Sucrose is a disaccharide! Polysaccharide - many

Example: starch

Types of Polysaccharides Starch - found in plants. Its their

way of storing energy. Glycogen - found in liver of

animals. Temporary storage. Cellulose - found in the cell wall of

plants. Carbohydrates are for short term

storage of energy.

Lipids Made mostly of carbon and

hydrogen, with a little bit of oxygen.

Fats, oils, and waxes. They are insoluble in water,

because they are non-polar. (hydrophobic)

Functions of Lipids Long term storage of energy Insulation Protection of organs Steroids - signals in body

Important in metabolism Some hormones

Proteins Composed of carbon, hydrogen,

oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur.

The basic building blocks of proteins are amino acids.

Amino Acids 20 common amino acids that can make

thousands of proteins. Amino acids are held together by

Peptide Bonds. (Peptide bonds hold the protein chain together!)

Proteins make up many of the structural components of organism! Components like enzymes!

Enzymes are proteins that change the rate of a chemical reaction. Speeds them up! Ex. Digesting a food, blood clotting,

etc

Nucleic Acids Stores cellular information in the

form of a code.

Made of subunits called nuceotides.

Nucleotides have three parts:

1. Nitrogenous Base2. A Simple Sugar3. A Phosphate Group

Phosphate group

Sugar

Nitrogenous base

DNA is a nucleic acid! Deoxyribonucleic acid! The instructions coded in DNA

contains all the instructions for making proteins in organisms.

RNA is also a nucleic acid…we’ll talk about it later!
