7. What are they made out of? Biomolecules 1.Carbohydrates (sugars) 2.Proteins 3.Lipids (fats) Other molecules needed by all living organisms: Nucleic Acids

8. Carbohydrates (ose) Compound: C 6 H 12 O 6 (made from simple sugars like glucose) Foods: fruits & veggies, grains, sweets Use: energy Organelles: mitochondria, vacuoles

9. are organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the ratio 1:2:1 (carbon:hydrogen:oxygen) Carbohydrates are made by plants (autotrophs) are the body’s primary source of energy come in two basic forms: monomers and polymers are made of monomers (building blocks) called monosaccharides

10. Glucose is a monosaccharide. C6C6C6C6 H 12 O6O6 Monosaccharides (simple sugars) are easily identified by their sweet taste. Other monosaccharides: fructose (fruit sugar) galactose (milk sugar). H CH2OHCH2OH O O H H H H OHOH OHOH OHOH H HH OHOH OHOH C C C C C Note the ring shape of the molecule.

11. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made of long chains of monosaccharides. glycogen--storage form of glucose in animals. stored in the liver. starch--storage form of glucose in plants cellulose--makes up the cell wall of plants, gives plant cells their rigidity chitin--make up exoskeletons of insects, crabs, lobsters, etc. Sucrose (table sugar) is an example of a sugar with only two monosaccharides.

12. What is the monomer (subunit) for carbohydrates? What are the functions of carbohydrates? Name examples of carbohydrates. monosaccharide (simple sugars) energy storage (short-term), structure or support glucose, starch, cellulose

13. Lipids Compound: CHO (a.k.a. fat) Foods: butter, oils, margarine, lard, fried food Use: store energy, build cell membrane, chemical messengers Organelles: cell membrane, golgi bodies, vacuoles

14. function in hormones and cell membrane and for energy storage chemically diverse organic compounds examples: fats, oils, waxes contain C, H, O water insoluble classified as saturated or unsaturated glycerol also steroids (serve as chemical messengers)

16. What are the molecules that make up lipids? What are the functions of lipids? Name examples of lipids. glycerol and fatty acids energy storage (long-term), make up the cell membrane and hormones body fat, oils, waxes

17. Proteins Compound: CHNO (made from amino acids) Foods: meat, beans and nuts Use: growth, cell reproduction, tissue repair, chemical reactions Organelles: ribosomes, chromosomes

18. Enzymes are proteins which function to control the rate of chemical reactions. complex organic compounds made up of amino acids, needed for the body to function properly examples: muscles, hair, cartilage, nails contain C, O, H, N and usually S or P image credit: U.S. Department of Energy Human Genome Program, http://www.ornl.gov/TechResources/Human_Genome/graphics/slides/images/ras.gif http://www.ornl.gov/TechResources/Human_Genome/graphics/slides/images/ras.gif 3D protein structure

20. What is the monomer (subunit) for protein? What are the functions of protein? Name examples of proteins. amino acids structure or support; enzymes speed up chemical reactions muscles, hair, cartilage, nails

21. Nucleic Acids Compound: DNA & RNA (made from sugar, phosphates and nitrogen bases) Foods: (All organisms contain DNA) Use: stores genetic information Organelles: nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplast

22. very large linear molecules examples: DNA and RNA contain C, H, N, O, P sugar phosphate nitrogen base nucleotide store genetic information, help to make proteins made up of nucleotides containing a sugar, phosphate and a N-base DNA molecule sugar phosphate nitrogen base

23. What is the monomer (subunit) for nucleic acids? What are the functions of nucleic acids? Name examples of nucleic acid. nucleotides store genetic information, help to make proteins DNA, RNA What are the compounds in a nucleotide? sugar, phosphate, nitrogen base

24. Calorie = unit of energy Which nutrients have calories? Proteins: 1 gram = 4 cal Carbs: 1 gram = 4 cal Lipids: 1 gram = 9 cal Which is best? What does your body do with calories that you do not use?

25. How do I know what nutrients are in my food? 1.What is the serving size? 2.This has almost 1/2 your daily needs of what nutrient? 3.Does this contain significant amounts of vitamins? 4.Is this a “healthy” option?

26. Reagents Carbohydrate tests – Iodine (Lugol’s reagent) Tests for the presence of starch Turns a purple black color when starch is present – Benedict’s reagent Tests for the presence of sugar (monosaccharide) Turns orange/red/yellow when a sugar is present

27. Reagents Protein test – Biuret’s reagent Tests for the presence of a protein Turns a purple (light)/ violet color Lipid test – Sudan III Turns red in the presence of a lipid – Spot test Turns translucent

28. Reagents DNA tests – Methlyene blue Clear solution that turns blue in the presence DNA

29. Food Test Lab With a lab partner, test 5 foods and water to see whether they contain carbs, proteins or lipids Send one person from each group to get a small sample of each food in your test cups Add a small amount of the indicators and record your observations (turn in one table per partnership)
