Biochemistry

Compounds Compounds are
made up of atoms of two more elements in fixed proportions
Held together by chemical bonds Covalent Ionic

Covalent Bond Forms when two
atoms share one or more pairs of electrons
Example: Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Ionic Bonds One atom loses
electrons while the other atom gains electrons
Example: Sodium Chloride (NaCl)

Oxidation Reduction Reactions Oxidation Reactions- A reactants loses
one or more electrons, becomes positive Undergoes oxidation
Reduction Reaction- reactant gains one or more electrons, becomes negative Undergoes reduction
**Always occur together!

Water One of the most important
compounds in living organisms Means of transport Water makes up 70% of most
organisms The world is 70% water

Polarity Water is a polar compound
Charges are unevenly distributed Oxygen pulls slightly on the electrons
giving it a slightly negative charge Meanwhile, the hydrogen atoms are
slightly positive
![Page 9: Biochemistry. Compounds Compounds are made up of atoms of two more elements in fixed proportions Held together by chemical bonds Covalent Ionic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1aca7f8b9ab05996f3d9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Hydrogen Bonding Hydrogen bond-
force of attraction between a hydrogen molecule of a partial positive charge and another atom with a negative charge
Allows water to easily bond with itself
Form, break and reform easily with each other
![Page 10: Biochemistry. Compounds Compounds are made up of atoms of two more elements in fixed proportions Held together by chemical bonds Covalent Ionic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1aca7f8b9ab05996f3d9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Adhesion and CohesionAdhesion Attractive force
between water and a different substance
Allows water to stick to other surfaces
Capillary action- water can rise up a tube against the force of gravity
Cohesion Attractive force
between water molecules
Allows water molecules to stick to other water molecules
Surface tension- molecules of the surface pull downward Acts like a “skin”

other carbon Forms straight chains,
branched chains, or rings
Enormous variety of compounds

Carbon Molecules Monomers- single unit of a carbon
compound Polymers- repeated, linked monomers
bonded together Macromolecules- made up of many
large polymers

Condensation and Hydrolysis Reactions
Condensation
Linking monomers to create polymers
Each time you add a monomer water is released
Hydrolysis
Breaking down of polymers to monomers
Water is used to break the bond

carbohydrate Also called a
simple sugar Most common
Glucose Fructose Galactose

Monosaccharides Glucose, fructose and galactose all
have same molecular formula C6H12O6
Have different structures These different structures give each
slightly different properties Called isomers
![Page 20: Biochemistry. Compounds Compounds are made up of atoms of two more elements in fixed proportions Held together by chemical bonds Covalent Ionic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1aca7f8b9ab05996f3d9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

monosaccharides combine
Also called a double sugar
Example: sucrose

Polysaccharides Complex molecule
composed of three or more monosaccharides
Storage of energy Animals store in the
form of glycogen (highly branched chain)
Plants store in the form of starch (branched chains and unbranched chains)
![Page 22: Biochemistry. Compounds Compounds are made up of atoms of two more elements in fixed proportions Held together by chemical bonds Covalent Ionic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1aca7f8b9ab05996f3d9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Amino Acids 20 different amino acids Same basic structure
Single hydrogen atom
Carboxyl group (COOH)
Amino group (NH2) R group (difference)

Dipeptides and Polypeptides Two amino acids can form a dipeptide
through a peptide bond
Most often long chains of amino acids bond to form a polypeptide
![Page 25: Biochemistry. Compounds Compounds are made up of atoms of two more elements in fixed proportions Held together by chemical bonds Covalent Ionic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1aca7f8b9ab05996f3d9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
