Carbon-based MoleculesAlthough a cell is mostly water, the rest of the cell consists mostly of carbon-based molecules
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds
![Page 7: Biochemistry of Cells](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56813066550346895d963fe9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Carbon is a Versatile Atom
It has four electrons in an outer shell that holds eight
Carbon can share its electrons with other atoms to form up to four covalent bonds
![Page 8: Biochemistry of Cells](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56813066550346895d963fe9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

three-dimensional shape
The shape determines its function in an
organism

called condensation or dehydration synthesis (removing a molecule of
water)
This process joins two sugar monomers to make a double
sugar

54
Proteins as Enzymes
Many proteins act as biological catalysts or enzymes
Thousands of different enzymes exist in the body
Enzymes control the rate of chemical reactions by weakening bonds, thus lowering the amount of activation energy needed for the reaction
![Page 55: Biochemistry of Cells](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56813066550346895d963fe9/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
55
Enzymes
Their folded conformation creates an area known as the active site.
Enzymes are globular proteins.
The nature and arrangement of amino acids in the active site make it specific for only one type of substrate.
![Page 56: Biochemistry of Cells](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56813066550346895d963fe9/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

Primary Protein Structure
The primary structure is the specific sequence of amino acids in a protein
Called polypeptide
Amino Acid
![Page 59: Biochemistry of Cells](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56813066550346895d963fe9/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

Protein Structures
Secondary protein structures occur when protein chains coil or fold
When protein chains called polypeptides join together, the tertiary structure forms because R groups interact with each other
In the watery environment of a cell, proteins become globular in their quaternary structure

Nitrogenous base(A,G,C, or U)
Sugar (ribose)
Phosphategroup

ATP – Cellular Energy
•ATP is used by cells for energy
•Adenosine triphosphate
•Made of a nucleotide with 3 phosphate groups

ATP – Cellular Energy
•Energy is stored in the chemical bonds of ATP
•The last 2 phosphate bonds are HIGH ENERGY
•Breaking the last phosphate bond releases energy for cellular work and produces ADP and a free phosphate
•ADP (adenosine Diphosphate) can be rejoined to the free phosphate to make more ATP
