Biomolecules
 Form
= Function
 Review inquiry activity from previous
class.
BIOMOLECULES
MACROMOLECULES
 made by polymerizationlarge compounds built by
joining smaller ones
together.
 Smaller units (subunits) are
called monomers.
 4 major molecules important
to life.
 Carbohydrates,
lipids, nucleic
acids and proteins.
BIO BUILDING BLOCKS
CARBOHYDRATES

1:2:1 RATIO


1 Carbon: 2 Hydrogen: 1 Oxygen
Example: the sugar glucose - C6H12O6
Monomer – Monosaccharide
Polymer - Polysaccharide
Main source of energy for living things
Also has structural purpose for living things.

Plant cells have cell walls made of cellulose
Animal cells store excess sugars as glycogen

LIPIDS
 Made
of Carbon and Hydrogen
 NOT soluble in water (hydrophobic)

doesn’t mix with water
 Used
to store energy, as chemical
messengers (hormones, steroids)
 Part of the cell membrane (phospholipids).
 Saturated-Solid at room temperature.
No double bonds
 Unsaturated-liquid at room temperature.
Double bonds between Carbons.
LIPIDS
LIPIDS - triglyceride
Phospholipids – cell membrane
component
Phospholipids: fatty
acids bound to
glycerol, a
phosphate group
replaces one fatty
acid.
Phosphate group is
hydrophilic—”water
loving head”
“Water fearing tails”
are fatty acid
chains—
hydrophobic
Lipid
Cell walls
PROTEINS
 Composed
of Nitrogen, Carbon,
Hydrogen, and Oxygen.
 Monomers are called amino acids
 Control rate of reactions
 Function in transport and formation of
bone and muscle cells.
 Folded shape is important in enzyme
recognition process.
Proteins
Monomers
Polymers
PROTEINS –amino acids
NUCLEIC ACIDS
 Composed
of Hydrogen, Oxygen,
Nitrogen, Carbon and Phosphorus.
 Subunits (monomers) are called
nucleotides.
 Store and transmit hereditary
information.
 Ex. DNA , RNA
NUCLEIC ACIDS - nucleotides
Nucleic Acids
Polymer
Monomer
NUCLEIC ACIDS
RNA—ribose
DNA—deoxyribose
