1 Carbon and life: Organic Chemistry

2 Organic Chemistry is scary

3 Carbon atom

4 C

5 Methane Ethane Ethene (ethylene) Hydrocarbons

6 C H High energy bond Carbon - Hydrogen

7 Macromolecules *proteins *nucleic acids *carbohydrates *Lipids 4 Types

8 Macromolecules *proteins *nucleic acids *carbohydrates *Lipids 4 Types polymers

9 Polymer Chemistry monomers (individual) polymer (joined)

10 Momomers Polymer

11 Making and breaking the bonds

12 Short polymer Unlinked monomer Dehydration removes a water molecule, forming a new bond Longer polymer Making the bond dehydration

13 Hydrolysis adds a water molecule, breaking a bond Breaking the bond hydrolysis

14 Polymers Polymer bonds involve water

15 Kangaroo Rat Survives on metabolic water

16 Protein Monomers = amino acids Polymer = protein

17 Protein amino acids

18 Protein 20 amino acids

19 Protein Polymer formation Dehydration reaction

20 Proteins are long chains of amino acids

21 Protein 20 amino acids

22 A ribbon model Groove A space-filling model Protein function is determined by its shape.

23 Protein shape is determined by its amino acids.

26 Protein

27 Global Warming Coral “bleaching”

28 Nucleic Acids Monomers = nucleotides Polymer = DNA, RNA

29 Nucleic Acids Nucleotide (monomer) 5 bases

30 DNA “double helix”

31 DNA

32 RNA single-stranded

33 Carbohydrates

34 Monomers = simple sugars Polymer = carbohydrates Carbohydrates

35 A simple sugar (monosaccharide) glucose

36 Carbs are rich in C – H bonds

37 Sucrose or table sugar

38 Carbohydrates Starch: A polymer of glucose molecules

39 Starch: 1–4 linkage of a glucose monomers. Cellulose: 1–4 linkage of b glucose monomers. Starch cellulose Glucose polymers

40 Cellulose Starch

41 Lipids

43 Hard fats oils saturated unsaturated

44 Lipids
