1. Your “Do Now” 4/11 Grab a paper from up front Read through the first part Answer the first 2 questions Be ready to share

2. Agenda4/11 Turn in Circle Map & Exploring Energy & Matter paper (1 st Day) Notes #2 Revisit intro Practice problems

3. Ch 8 Notes #2 Macromolecules

4. Learning Target 2) I can explain the importance of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids and what foods we eat to get them

5. The parts of living things Life on earth is carbon based because all living things have carbon in them.

6. Some key vocab terms MonomerPolymerMacromoleculeCarbohydratesProteinsLipids

7. Monomer: one small molecule Analogy: one LEGO brick

8. Polymer: several monomers joined together Analogy: chain of LEGOs

9. Some analogies EXAMPLE of POLYMER MONOMER A TRAIN? A NECKLACE?

10. Macromolecule A large molecule made of many smaller parts

11. What do these words mean?

12. 1. Proteins 2. Lipids (fats) 3. Carbohydrates 4. Nucleic acids (DNA/RNA)

13. Three out of the 4 types of biochemical macromolecules can be found on food nutrition labels…

14. Look at the label to the left. 3 of the 4 macromolecules can be found in foods. 1____________________ 2____________________ 3____________________ (0 grams in this product) (13 grams in this product) (9 grams in this product)

15. The 4 th type is not found on food labels Two types: DNA and RNA Nucleic acids made up of nucleotides (sugar, phosphate, base) Cells make nucleic acids using foods we eat NUCLEIC ACIDS

16. Getting energy from food Our digestive system breaks foods down to 1)Make energy and molecules that store energy 2)Making molecules that can be used by our body

17. Look at the foods in your cup! Our first macromolecules are proteins Which foods do you think are high in proteins?

18. PROTEINS Importance of proteins: 1.Provide structure for body parts 2.A source of energy 3.Part of the cell membrane 4.Oxygen transport (hemoglobin) 5.Enzymes: special type of protein that helps speed-up reactions.

19. Muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones PROTEINS

20. Hair, Skin, and Nails PROTEINS

21. Proteins are made of chains of amino acids (polypeptides)

22. If you didn’t have enzymes in your stomach to speed up digestion, the food would rot in your stomach because it would take so long! PROTEINS

23. Foods that are high in proteins Chicken / turkey Nuts Eggs Red meat Fish Dairy Beans

24. LIPIDS (fats) 1.Supply long-term energy (stored in body for later use) 2.Make up part of the cell membrane (let things in & out of cell)  Provide insulation (keep organisms warm)

25. LIPIDS Lipids are made of two parts: fatty acids and glycerolLipids are made of two parts: fatty acids and glycerol

26. LIPIDS from foods

27. Take another look in your cup Carbohydrates are up next Which foods do you think have a lot of “carbs”

28. CARBOHYDRATES 1.Main source of short-term energy for our bodies 2.Carbohydrates are made of units of sugar 3.Found in almost everything you eat 4.More readily useable than lipids and proteins 5.Get into blood stream quickly

29. Glucose, sucrose (table sugar) Simple CARBOHYDRATES

30. Simple Carbs.

31. Complex Carbohydrates Example: Starch (not broken down as easily)

32. Complex CARBS-- Food examples

33. Body stores extra carbs in the body as fats (glycogen)

34. Energy from foods is measured in Calories. Example: If you drink a glass of skim milk, you will get a gain of 90 Calories of energy for your body.

35. Which type will be highest in calories? A.Proteins B.Carbs C.Lipids

36. PROTEINS: 1 gram protein = 4 Calories.

37. Energy Gained From Carbohydrates CARBS: 1g carbohydrates = 4 Calories.

38. LIPIDS 1 g = 9 Calories. Notice if you eat 1 gram of fat, you are gaining more than twice the amount of Calories than from a gram of carbohydrate or protein!

39. Food is a mix of all three

40. ENERGY So… BIG 4 MACROMOLECULES Number of Calories it provides Carbohydrates4 Proteins4 Lipids9 Nucleic Acids0

41. Practice

42. LIPIDS…Some interesting info Fruits produce a waxy coating to keep from drying out. The cells in a tulip make a wax which helps coat the leaves. Ear wax traps dust, sand, and other foreign particles from going deeper into the ear and causing damage. Beeswax- a structural material to hold honey in the hive

43. LIPIPS…Some interesting info There are many different types of steroids. They are all lipids. Their functions vary. Some common steroids are: SEX STEROIDS ANABOLIC STERIODS Like testosterone and estrogen They increase muscle
