What is Biochemistry?
• Biochemistry is the study of the chemical interactions of living things.
• Biochemists study the structures and physical properties of biological molecules.– Often are involved in the manufacture of new
drugs and medical treatments

Elements in Living Organisms
• The most common elements found in living organisms include:
–Carbon (C)–Oxygen (O)–Nitrogen (N)–Hydrogen (H)–Phosphorus (P)–Sulfur (S)

Biochemistry: where chemistry and biology meet head-on
• Living things require millions of chemical reactions within the body, just to survive.
• Metabolism = all the chemical reactions occurring in the body.
• Organic molecules: – usually associated with living things. – always contain CARBON.– are “large” molecules, with many atoms– always have covalent bonds (share electrons)

Macromolecules of Cells
• Macro = large
• 4 types of macromolecules in cellular biology
1. Carbohydrates
2. Lipids
3. Proteins
4. Nucleic Acids

Macromolecule #1: Carbohydrates
• Sugars and groups of sugars
• Purposes: energy and structure
• Includes three types:– Monosaccharide (1 sugar – quick energy)– Disaccharide (2 sugars – short storage)– Polysaccharide (many sugars – energy
long storage & form structures)
![Page 8: Anatomy I - Unit 3: Basic Biochemistry. What is Biochemistry? Biochemistry is the study of the chemical interactions of living things. Biochemists study](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d385503460f94a117c8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Macromolecule #1: Carbohydrates
• Polysaccharide Examples:
– Glycogen—glucose polymer stored for future energy needs. Found in liver, muscle and sperm, etc.
– Cellulose—glucose polymer used to form fibers for plant structures. Humans can’t digest (fiber). Most abundant organic molecule.
– Chitin—glucose polymer for exoskeletons of some crustaceans & insects.

Macromolecule #2: Lipids
• Insoluble in water (think oil & water)
4 types: – 1-triglycerides (fats & oils)
• (long-term energy storage, insulation)
– 2-phospholipids (primary component of cell membrane)
– 3-steroids (cell signaling)• cholesterol molecules modified to form sex hormones.
(e.g. testosterone, estrogen, etc.)
– 4-waxes (protection, prevents water loss)• Used mainly by plants, but also bees, some furry
animals and humans.

Defense antibodies of the immune system
Hormones cell signaling (e.g., insulin)
Motion contractile proteins (e.g., actin, myosin)

Macromolecule #3: Proteins
• The building blocks of proteins are AMINO ACIDS. There are only 20 types of Amino Acids.
• There are millions of different proteins, and they are all built from different combinations of the 20 amino acids.
• Amino acids join together to form peptides, polypeptides, and polypeptide chains.
