1
Carbohydrates & Lipids KEY WORDS Dehydration Synthesis (Condensation) Polymer Monomer Carbohydrate Simple sugar Complex carbohydrate Starch Glycogen Cellulose Lipid Triglyceride Saturated fatty acid Unsaturated fatty acid Steroid Cholesterol
2
The synthesis and breakdown of polymers
3
CARBOHYDRATES
4
Carbohydrate Types Hexose = 6 carbons Glucose –cell energy Fructose - honey Galactose – milk Pentose = 5 carbons Ribose - RNA Deoxyribose - DNA 1. SIMPLE SUGARS Monosaccharides - one sugar molecule
5
Linear and ring forms of glucose
6
Sucrose (sugar) Glucose + Fructose Lactose (milk) Glucose + Galactose Maltose (grains) Glucose + Glucose Carbohydrate Types 2. SIMPLE SUGARS Disaccharides - two sugar molecule
7
How are disaccharides made? Dehydration synthesis:
8
Examples of disaccharide synthesis
9
POLYSACCHARIDES: Long chains of monosaccharides EXAMPLES Starch (amylose) Glycogen Fiber (cellulose) Chitin Carbohydrate Types COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES
10
Starch Long-term energy storage of glucose for plants (roots, seeds) < 500,000 glucoses
11
Glycogen Short term storage polysaccharide for animals ~300g carbs stored in body 72g liver (glycogen) 245g muscle (glycogen) 10g blood (glucose)
12
Storage polysaccharides
13
Chitin String of modified glucose Structural component of: Insects, Arthropods, fungi
14
Cellulose Polymer of glucose Structural material in plants - Fiber Cellulose Starch Monomers linked together differently than in starch Why indigestible?
15
Starch verses Cellulose Glucose linked differently Cellulose is not recognized by our digestive enzymes Some organisms (microbes) in the guts of cows and termites do make enzymes that can digest cellulose
16
Starch and cellulose structures
18
QUESTION When you eat a starchy food, an enzyme in your mouth breaks it down into maltose. Maltose enters your small intestine, where it is broken down into glucose. The starch is a _________, the maltose is a ________, and the glucose is a(n):_________. a)Proteindipeptideamino acid b)Monosaccharidedisaccharidepolysaccharide c)Triglyceridefatty acidglycerol d)Amino aciddipeptideprotein e)Polysaccharidedisaccharidemonosaccharide
19
Question Which of the following terms includes all others in the list? A.Monosaccharide B.Disaccharide C.Starch D.Carbohydrate E.Polysaccharide
20
Question The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6. What would be the molecular formula for 10 glucoses linked together?
21
LIPIDS
23
Three Major Groups of Lipids Oils, Fats, and Waxes Phospholipids Steroids (Cholesterol, Estrogen, Testosterone, etc…)
24
Similarities of Fats and Oils All contain C, H, and O Usually no ring structures Made up of fatty acid subunits (long chain of carbons and hydrogen with a carboxyl end)
25
Triglycerides Fats and Oils have 3 fatty acids linked to a glycerol (condensation)
26
The synthesis and structure of a fat, or triacylglycerol
27
Fatty Acid Subunits: FATS vs. OILS Solid at room temperature From animal sources, coco & palm Saturated with hydrogens Liquid at room temp. From plants Unsaturated
28
Polyunsaturated Saturated Types of Fatty acids
29
Saturated Unsaturated
30
Unsaturated Fats Monounsaturated : One C=C –olive, canola, nut oils Polyunsaturated : More than one C=C –corn safflower, soy oils Hydrogenated : Oils made solid by breaking C=C bonds and replacing with H (Hydrogenation) –Partially hydrogenated - margarine
31
Phospholipids One fatty acid chain (non-polar, hydrophobic) of triglyceride replaced with a phosphate group (charged, hydrophilic) chief component of lipid bilayer, outer membrane of all cells
32
Phospholipids
33
Steroids Four fused rings of carbon steroid hormones: estrogen, testosterone cholesterol: vital component of cell membranes
34
Cholesterol, a steroid
35
Cholesterol Body will make if not enough in diet Part of lipid membrane around cells Helps stabilize, strengthen membrane
36
The structure of a phospholipid
37
Phospholipid
38
Two structures formed by self-assembly of phospholipids in aqueous environments
39
Question What is the difference between the two ring forms of glucose (alpha & beta)?
40
Question Human sex hormones belong to what family of lipids?
41
Question How many water molecules are needed to completely hydrolyze a polymer that is 100 monomers long?
42
Question Unsaturated fats: A.Are more common in animals than plants B.Have double bonds in their carbon chains C.Solidify at room temperature D.Contain more H than saturated fats having the same # of C E.Have fewer fatty acid chains
