1. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND ENZYMES EQ: What kind of organic compound are enzymes and what do enzymes do?

2. Chemistry of Carbon Organic chemistry is the study of all compounds that contain bonds between carbon atoms

3. Macromolecules Macromolecules are formed by connecting many monomers together to create a polymer

4. The Four Organic Compounds These 4 compounds are found in living things: Carbohydrates Lipids Nucleic acids Proteins

5. Carbohydrates Made up Carbon, 2 Hydrogen, and Oxygen Source of Energy Creates structure for plants

6. Different sizes of Carbohydrates Monosaccharides Disaccharides Polysaccharides

7. Lipids Lipids do not dissolve in water Different types of lipids Fats Oils Waxes Steroids

8. Nucleic Acids Nucleic acids are polymers assembled from individual monomers known as nucleotides

9. Nucleotides Smallest sub-unit for nucleic acids Examples of Nucleic acids: DNA RNA

10. Proteins Proteins are macromolecules that contain nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen The monomer (sub-unit) of proteins are amino acids

11. Functions of Proteins Speed up reactions – Enzymes Used to form bones and muscles Transport substances into or out of cells Help to fight disease - antibodies

12. Enzymes Enzymes provide a site where reactants can be brought together to react. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells

13. Regulation of Enzyme Activity Enzymes can be affected by any variable that influences a chemical reaction. pH values Changes in temperature Amount and concentrations of enzyme or substrate

14. Organism Project Create an imaginary animal Must include a drawing of the animal Include where the animal live geographically. What special skills does this animal have? Make sure to include the male and female version of the animal This animal will be used the rest of the year in different ways to learn more about life science and biology Dietary plan of the Animal How does the animal obtain all of it’s essential nutrients to live? How does it get: Protein, Lipids, and Carbohydrates? List the importance of each organic compound for your specific animal
