3. Organic Molecules Inorganic Molecules
Organic and Inorganic molecules
Organic Molecules
ORGANIC compounds contain a carbon-hydrogen bond (C6H12O6, CH4)
Inorganic Molecules
ORGANIC MOLECULES
ORGANIC compounds contain a carbon-hydrogen bond (C6H12O6, CH4)
INORGANIC MOLECULES
INORGANIC compounds do not contain a carbon-hydrogen bonds (CO2, H2O)
INORGANIC compounds do not contain a carbon-hydrogen bonds (CO2, H2O)

ORGANIC MOLECULES
lipid, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, protein
INORGANIC MOLECULES
CO2
water:
most important inorganic compound in living things
most cellular processes take place in water solution
excellent solvent (substances dissolve in water)
carbohydrate

5. Why is water so important?
Approximately 70% of the body is made of water
most cellular processes take place in water solutions
excellent solvent (substances dissolve in water)

6. Elements of Life 96% of living organisms is made of: carbon (C)
oxygen (O)
hydrogen (H)
nitrogen (N)

7. What four biomolecules are organisms made of?
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Nucleic Acids

8. ATP Why do we eat? We eat to take in more of these chemicals
Food for building materials
to make more of us (cells)
for growth
for repair
Food to make energy
calories
to make ATP (energy)
ATP

9. What do we need to eat?
Foods give organisms more building blocks & more energy
(for building & running their bodies)
carbohydrates
proteins
fats
nucleic acids
vitamins
minerals, salts
water

10. How are molecules in your body made?
We build them!
This is called Polymerization: process where large molecules are built from smaller ones.

11. Monomers are linked together to make Polymers.
Monomers: (mono = one) The small individual units of the molecule
Polymer: (poly = many) The large compound formed from many monomers

15. Four Main Groups
Carbohydrate Lipid Nucleic Acid Protein

16. Carbohydrates Facts: Elements in a ratio of 1:2:1. Elements: C,H,O
Function: main source of Short term energy for living things
Monomer: monosaccharide ex.(glucose)
Polymer: polysaccharide (starch)
Food Source Examples: Sugar, Pasta, Bread

17. Molecular Structure
Monosaccharide
Polysaccharide

18. Analogy
Monomer
Polymer

19. Lipids Facts: FATS Not soluble in water Elements: C,H,O,O
Function: long term energy storage
component of cell membranes.
insulation
Monomer: glycerol, fatty acids
Polymer: lipid
Food Source Examples: oils, waxes, butter

20. Molecular Structure
Example: Lard

21. Analogy

22. Nucleic Acids Facts: Must consume,
Monomer made up of Sugar, Phosphate, and Nitrogenous Base, shape double helix
Elements: CHONP
Function: store and transmit genetic information.
Monomer: nucleotide
Polymer: nucleic acid
Example: DNA, RNA

23. What do they look like?
Polymer
Monomer

24. Analogy

25. Proteins
Facts: Every structure in your body is made up of proteins (skin, hair, nails, teeth, muscles, tendons etc.)
Elements: C,H,O,N
Function: Growth and Repair
Monomer: Amino Acids
Polymer: Proteins (Polypeptide)
Food Source Examples: eggs, cheese, beans, meat
the body can manufacture 14 of the 22 amino acids it needs. But the other 8 cannot be made by the body and must be obtained from the diet. These eight amino acids are called "essential amino acids"

26. Molecular Structure?

28. Four Main Groups
Carbohydrate Lipid Nucleic Acid Protein

29. Bell Ringer What is the function of each of the four biomolecules?
How can you identify each biomolecule?
