39. Nucleic acids are complex macro- molecules that store genetic information in cells in the form of a code. 38

40. 39 Function: Stores and transmits genetic information Two TYPES of nucleic acids – 1. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) – double strand of genetic information 2. RNA (ribonucleic acid) – single strand copy of DNA used to build proteins NUCLEIC ACIDS C, H, O, N, P

41. Nucleotides (monomers) have 3 parts: 1.A phosphate group 2.A sugar 3.A base. 40 Polymers of nucleotides Stores and transmits genetic information

Proteins Functions Transport molecules Hemoglobin transports oxygen Storage molecules Iron stored in the liver in a protein complex Mechanical support Skin, bones, hair, & nails contain collagen Hormones Enzymes Speed up chemical reactions Helps control metabolism. Immune System Antibodies in the immune system 42 C, H, O, N, S

44. Proteins-Structure Elements: CHONSElements: CHONS Made of small units called Amino AcidsMade of small units called Amino Acids 43 Amino Acids

45. 44 Bonds that holds Amino Acids together is called a Peptide Bond.

46. Protein can be large complex molecules. 45 Function of a protein depends on shape and its ability to recognize and bind to some other molecule.

47. Denaturing Proteins pH, salt, temp, etc. are altered, protein may unravel and lose its conformation 46

48. Can have fatal consequences. Ex: Inherited disease, sickle cell anemia, results from a single incorrect amino acid at the 6th position of a protein chain out of 146. When the amino acid sequesnce is wrong: Sickle Cell Anemia: 47

49. …are PROTEINS!!!!!! 48

50. Enzymes are proteins Enzymes speed up chemical reaction. These reaction would take place anyway…enzymes just speed them up! 49

51. Without an enzyme! With an enzyme! 50

52. How do ENZYMES work? 1.The enzyme attaches to one or more of the reactants in a reaction. 2.The reactants that bind to the enzyme are known as the substrates. 3.The part of the enzyme where the substrate attaches to the enzyme is called the active site. 4.The shape of the active site only fits the shape of the substrate, somewhat like a lock fits a key. In this way only the correct substrate binds to the enzyme. 51

53. 52 Active Site

54. Reactants/ Substrates Enzyme Enzymes can only bind to certain substrates this is known as the Lock-and-Key Mechanism. When the reaction is over the Enzyme is left as it was. 53 Animation

55. Once the enzyme and substrate are together, the enzyme holds the substrate so the reaction can occur. Once the reaction is over, the enzyme unlocks the product and the enzyme can start a new reaction with an identical substrate. Enzymes are not permanently changed or used up in reactions 54 Animation

56. Reaction pathway without enzyme Activation energy without enzyme Activation energy with enzyme Reaction pathway with enzyme Reactants Products Effect of Enzymes Go to Section: Enzymes work by LOWERING the amount of energy required for the reaction to proceed. 55

57. How do you speed up enzymes? 1.Add more of the enzyme. 2.Warm up the enzyme! Don’t warm it too much or it may denature and stop working. 56

58. change in the pH A change in the pH of the enzyme can cause a change in the shape of the active site, therefore changing the activity of the enzyme. 57 Animation

59. 53

60. Each Chemical reaction in your body is helped along by a different enzyme. Enzymes have 4 special features in common do not 1. They do not make processes happen that would not take place on their own. They just make the processes take place faster! 2. Enzymes are not permanently altered or used up in reactions. 3. The same enzyme works for the forward and reverse directions of a reaction. 4 Each enzyme is highly selective about its substrate. 54 Review Website
