1
Enzymes/Macromolecules/Bo nding- covalent and ionic
2
Enzymes Enzymes are proteins that help to speed up chemical reactions in the body Shape of Enzyme determines its function High temperature or extreme pH values may effect the shape of an enzyme molecule (denaturing). Makes enzymes useless
3
Reaction Without-Enzymes
4
Reaction With-Enzymes
5
Enzymes are Specific An enzyme can be used for a specific reaction Double sugar needs to be broken apart Only one enzyme can function for this reaction Shape of an Enzyme can determine its functions
6
Enzymes
8
Denaturing
9
Change in shape of enzyme due to high temperature or extreme pH
10
Denaturing Irreversible process, enzyme will not work anymore
11
Macromolecules Large Molecules Populate a cell and provide it with important functions of life Structural support Source of stored fuel Ability to store and retrieve genetic information Ability to speed biochemical reactions
12
Four major types of Macromolecules Lipids Carbohydrates Nucleic Acids Proteins Polymers: chain of similar units or monomers, that are linked together by covalent bonds
13
Diverse groups of molecules in nonpolymorphic form Lipids Carbohydrates Nucleic Acids Proteins Sugars Nucleotides Amino Acids Four major types of Macromolecules
14
Proteins Chains of Amino Acids linked with Polypeptide Bonds 20 Amino Acids make Proteins, each differing only in the side chain Properties of side chains account for structural and functional differences
15
Protein
16
Carbohydrates Simple sugars called monosaccharides as well as large sugars called polysaccharides Glucose is hexose, a sugar composed of 6 carbon atoms, usually found in a ring form Starch macromolecule is a polysaccharide composed of 1000s of glucose units
17
Carbohydrates
18
Nucleic Acid DNA and RNA are nucleic acid Two polymers with complementary nucleotide sequence can pair with each other Pairing allows NA with the ability to Store Transmit Retrieve genetic information
19
Nucleic Acid
20
Lipids Triglyceride is composed of 3 fatty acid and 1 glycerol molecule Fatty acids attach to Glycerol by covalent ester bond Long hydrocarbon chain of each fatty acid makes the triglyceride molecule nonpolar and hydrophobic
