Do Now
• Sit down and start to fill out the vocabulary organizer with any words that you know. This will be for homework.
Macromolecules
The Chemistry of Carbon
• Carbon is the element of life
• Able to bond to many different elements
• Bonds to other carbons to form very long carbon chains
Macromolecules
• “Giant Molecules”
• Macromolecules are made from thousands of smaller molecules combined
Macromolecules
• “Giant Molecules”
• Macromolecules are made from thousands of smaller molecules combined
• Monomer + monomer = polymer
• Monomer- single molecule
• Polymer- very large unit of molecules made by joining monomers together
• “Poly” = many• “Mono” = single
• Monomer- single molecule
• Polymer- very large unit of molecules made by joining monomers together
Macromolecules are polymers!!!!
Monomer Polymer
Monomer Polymer
Just one
Many joined together
4 Main Macromolecules
• Carbohydrates• Lipids• Nucleic Acids• Proteins
• Each of these are polymers made from linking smaller units together
PAUSE.
• What is a macromolecule?
• What do “mono” and “poly” mean?
• What is a monomer?
• What is a polymer?
Carbohydrates
• Compounds made of: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
• Used for: Living things use carbohydrates as their main source of energy.
• Monomer: Monosaccharides
• Example: Sugars
Carbohydrates
• Compounds made of: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
• Used for: Living things use carbohydrates as their main source of energy.
• Monomer: Monosaccharides
• Example: Sugars
• Monomer- Monosaccharide– “simple sugar”
• Monomer- Monosaccharide– “simple sugar”
• Polymer- Polysaccharide– “complex sugar”
• Starches are polysaccharides, or complex sugars, that animals use to store long term energy.
Lipids
• Compounds made from: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
• Used for: Energy storage, protective layers
• Made from: Fatty Acids
• Examples: Fats, Oils, Waxes, Steroids
• Lipids are not soluble in water
–Lipids do not dissolve in water
PAUSE.
• What do we use carbohydrates for ?
• What are the monomers of carbohydrates called?
• What are the monomers of Lipids called?
• What are lipids used for?
Nucleic Acid
• Compounds made from: Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus
• Used for: Store hereditary, or genetic information.
• Monomer: Nucleotides
• Example: DNA
Proteins
• Compounds made from: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen
• Used for: Chemical Reactions
• Monomer: Amino acids
• Example: Enzymes
PAUSE.
• What are the monomers of Nucleic acids?
• What do living things use nucleic acids for?
• What are the monomers of Proteins called?
• What is protein needed to make?
