Biochemistry
• Study of chemical composition and
reactions occurring in living matter
• Inorganic Compounds
• Do not contain carbon
• Exceptions - CO2, CO, bicarbonates
• Water is the most abundant and important
inorganic material, making up 60% - 80% of all
cells and 2/3 of body weight
Organic Compounds
• Contain the element
carbon and hydrogen
• Carbon is found in
things that are or
once were living.
• Carbon atoms share
electrons to form
covalent bonds.
Organic Compounds
• Organic compounds are composed of
hundreds to thousands of individual
molecules.
– The single molecules in a polymer are called
monomers.
Organic Compounds
• The long molecules formed by repeating
patterns of monomers are called
polymers.
Functional Groups
• A functional group is a group of atoms that
characterize the structure of a family of
organic compounds.
• Functional groups determine many of the
properties of organic compounds.
• 3 Types to Know: Amino (NH2), Carboxyl
(COOH), Hydroxyl (OH).
Macromolecules
• 4 Types of Organic Compounds or
macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids,
proteins, and nucleic acids.
– Essential to maintaining life processes: cell
function, storage, energy, homeostasis and
genetic information.
Carbohydrates
• Make up sugars and
starches
• Contain a hydroxyl
(OH) group
• Contain atoms of
carbon, hydrogen,
and oxygen.
• Provide energy to the
cells.
• Dissolve in water
(hydrophilic)
Types of Carbohydrates
• Carbohydrates are classified according
to size.
• One sugar is a monosaccharide
(monomer).
• Two sugars make a disaccharide.
• Many sugar molecules linked together form
a polysaccharide (polymer).
Monosaccharide
Milk Sugar
Fruit Sugar
Disaccharide
Maltose is two glucose molecules; forms in digestive tract of
humans during starch digestion.
Polysaccharide
Starch is straight chain of glucose molecules with few side
branches.
Lipids
• The three types of
lipids are fats, oils,
and waxes.
• Contain carbon,
hydrogen, and
oxygen
• Typically contain two
monomers – glycerol
and fatty acids
• Glycerol contains the
hydroxyl (OH) group.
• Fatty acids contain
the carboxyl (COOH)
group.
Functions of Lipids
• Lipids store energy
for later use by the
body.
• Lipids also serve
as padding and
protection for the
body.
• Lipids do not
dissolve in water
(hydrophobic), but
may contain parts
that can dissolve in
water.
Structure of a Lipid
• Dissolves in
water
(hydrophilic)
• Does not
dissolve in
water
(hydrophobic)
Phospholipid
• Found in cell
membranes
– Head is the
phosphate
group.
• Hydrophilic
– Tails are the
fatty acids.
• Hydrophobic
Fatty Acids
• Long chains of carbon atoms with
attached hydrogen atoms (hydrocarbons)
• Saturated fats contain only single bonds
between the carbon atoms.
• Unsaturated fats contain one or more
double or triple bonds between the carbon
atoms.
Proteins
• Proteins are the building materials for the
body.
– Hair, skin, muscles, and organs are made
mostly of proteins.
• Composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen,
oxygen, and in some cases sulfur.
• Contain amine (NH2) and carboxyl
(COOH) groups
Function of Proteins
• The building blocks of
proteins are amino acids
(monomers).
• Serve as enzymes which
control rate of reactions
and regulate cell
processes.
• Amino acids are
connected by a special
type of bond called a
peptide bond.
• Amino acid chains are
called polypeptides.
• A protein contains one or
more polypeptide chains.
Amino Acids
Types of Proteins
• There are two types of proteins –
fibrous and globular.
• Fibrous protein (found in skin, tendons,
bones, and muscles) does not dissolve
in water (hydrophobic).
• Globular protein (found in enzymes,
some hormones, and hemoglobin) can
dissolve in water (hydrophilic).
Fibrous Proteins
• Keratins are a family
of fibrous structural
proteins; tough and
insoluble, they form
the hard but nonmineralized structures
found in reptiles,
birds, amphibians and
mammals.
Globular Proteins
• Enzymes are
proteins that catalyze
(i.e. accelerate)
chemical reactions.
• Almost all processes
in a biological cell
need enzymes in
order to occur at
significant rates.
Nucleic Acids

oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
Function:
– genetic material
• stores information

• double helix
• Structure:
– monomers = nucleotides

Cell History
The History
• Hans and Zacharias Janssen of Holland in the
1590’s created the “first” compound microscope
• Anthony van Leeuwenhoek and Robert Hooke
made improvements by working on the lenses.
Anthony van Leeuwenhoek
1632-1723
He observed pond water, and he
discovered animal-like protists that he
called animalcules.
Hooke Microscope
Robert Hooke
1635-1703
He looked at cork plants and
called the tiny structures he saw
“CELLS”.
Picture of early microscope and first
drawings of cells by Robert Hooke.
How a Microscope Works
Convex Lenses are
curved glass used to
make microscopes
(and glasses etc.)
Convex Lenses bend
light and focus it in
one spot.
How a Microscope Works
Ocular Lens
(Magnifies Image)
Objective Lens
(Gathers Light,
Magnifies
And Focuses Image
Inside Body Tube)
Body Tube
(Image Focuses)
Bending Light: The objective (bottom) convex lens magnifies and
focuses (bends) the image inside the body tube and the ocular convex
(top) lens of a microscope magnifies it again.
Magnification
• To determine your magnification…you just multiply
the ocular lens by the objective lens
• Ocular lens 10x Objective 40x:
10 x 40 = 400
So the object is magnified 400 times “larger”
Objective Lens have
their magnification
written on them.
Ocular lenses usually magnifies by 10x
Simple Microscope
• Similar to a magnifying glass and has only one
lense.
Compound Microscope
• Lets light pass through an object and then
through two or more lenses.
Stereoscopic Microscope
• Gives a three dimensional view of an object.
(Examples: insects and leaves)
Electron Microscope
• Uses a magnetic field to bend beams of electrons;
instead of using lenses to bend beams of light.

Cell Theory
Principles of Cell Theory
• All living things are made of cells
• Smallest living unit of structure and
function of all organisms is the cell
• All cells arise from preexisting cells
(this principle discarded the idea of
spontaneous generation)
• Schleiden and
Schwann used
the work of
Virchow and
improved the
cell theory.
Cells are
created from
pre-existing
cells!
All plants
are made
of cells!
All animals
are made
of cells!
