Four Classes of Organic
Biomolecules
 Carbohydrates
 Lipids or fats
 Proteins
 Nucleic Acids
Carbohydrates
 Contain C, H, O in a 1:2:1 ratio.
 Function:
 provide energy in plants and animals
 cell support in plants.
 Carbohydrates are the most readily available energy
source when ingested. Main energy supply.
Carbohydrates
 When carbs are broken down, energy is released as
ATP.
 If the energy is unneeded, then the glucose is stored:
 Glycogen: in the liver or muscles.
 Cellulose and starch: in plants.
Carbohydrate Structure
 1 carbohydrate = ______________
 Glucose- most important, plant sugar
 Fructose- fruit sugar
 Galactose-milk sugar
 When two monosaccharides combine they create
a_______________
sucrose — table sugar = glucose + fructose
lactose — milk sugar = glucose + galactose
maltose — malt sugar = glucose + glucose
Many monosaccharides = ________________
After ingesting carbohydrates, where do they
go?
 Carbohydrate Digestion Animation
Carbohydrate Structure
 Carbohydrates can be isomers: same chemical
formula, but different structural formula.
Figure 3.15 Disaccharides Are Formed by Glycosidic Linkages (Part 2)
ThiThis is cellobiose, a subunit of cellulose, humans don’t have the enzymes
to break this down, but cows do. To us it is merely roughage.
Cellulose is a very stable glucose polymer, and is the principle component of
cell walls.
Dehydration Synthesis aka
Polymerization
 Process by which complex carbohydrates are made.
 From the name it can be inferred that water is removed,
resulting in a glycosidic bond.
 Examples of polysaccharides:
 Starch-stored excess plant sugars
 Cellulose-plant cell wall formation
 Glycogen-stored excess animal sugar.
 To break apart carbohydrates hydrolysis must occur, i.e. the
addition of water.

Lipids
 There are three types of fatty acids:
 Saturated fatty acid- all C-C are single, max number of H
atoms, solid at room temp., ex. butter and meat fat
 Unsaturated fatty acid-C-C are double or triple, usually
liquid at room temp., ex. Peanut, corn, and olive oils
 Polyunsaturated fatty acid- many C-C double or triple
bonds, ex. Canola and vegetable oil.
