SECTION 2 : CARBON COMPOUNDS
Chapter 3 - Biochemistry
![Page 2: SECTION 2: CARBON COMPOUNDS Chapter 3 - Biochemistry.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0a5503460f949dc807/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Carbon Bonding
Organic Compounds: made mostly of carbon atoms
Inorganic Compounds: do not contain carbon
Carbon can bond with itself: It can form straight
chains It can form branched
chains It can form rings

Functional Groups
Functional groups are the portion of a molecule that gives the molecule it’s particular properties. They are also active in a chemical reaction.

Large Carbon Molecules
Monomers: building blocks of organic molecules
Polymer: molecule made of multiple monomers that are linked together
Macromolecules: large polymers Ex: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids

Making and Breaking Polymers
Condensation Reaction: monomers are linked to polymers and water is released
Hydrolysis: break down of polymers using water The reverse of a
condensation reaction

Energy Currency
Life processes require a constant supply of energy
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) a high energy compound found in cells Covalent bonds hold the
phosphate groups together The bond that attaches the
last phosphate group to the rest of the molecule is easily broken releasing energy for cell work

SECTION 3 : MOLECULES OF LIFE
Chapter 3 - Biochemistry
![Page 9: SECTION 2: CARBON COMPOUNDS Chapter 3 - Biochemistry.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0a5503460f949dc807/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Molecules of Life
4 Molecules of Life Carbohydrates (sugars) Proteins (enzymes) Lipids (fats) Nucleic Acids (DNA and RNA)
![Page 10: SECTION 2: CARBON COMPOUNDS Chapter 3 - Biochemistry.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0a5503460f949dc807/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen General ratio is 1C:2H:1O or
(CH2O)n
Monosaccharides: monomer (building block) of a carbohydrate Examples: Glucose, Fructose
and Galactose All 3 monomers have the same
formula C6H12O6, but they each have different structures - isomers
Glucose
Fructose

Carbohydrates
Disaccharides: double sugar (two monosaccharides bonded together) The reaction that joins the two monosaccharides
together is called a condensation reaction
Examples:
SucroseLactose Sucrose

Carbohydrates
Polysaccharides: made of 3 or more monosaccharides bonded together Examples:
Glycogen (in animals): energy storage Stored in liver and muscle, made of glucose molecules
Starch (in plants): energy storage Made of glucose molecules
Cellulose (in plants): used for structure cell wall
![Page 13: SECTION 2: CARBON COMPOUNDS Chapter 3 - Biochemistry.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0a5503460f949dc807/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Proteins
Proteins are organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen
Monomer = amino acids 20 different amino acids Functional groups of
amino acids: -COOH, NH2
What gives the amino acid its specific identity is it’s R-group R-groups can be simple
or complex
![Page 14: SECTION 2: CARBON COMPOUNDS Chapter 3 - Biochemistry.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0a5503460f949dc807/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Proteins
Dipeptides are two amino acids bonded together The bond between amino acids is called a peptide
bond Peptide bonds are formed during a condensation
reaction
![Page 15: SECTION 2: CARBON COMPOUNDS Chapter 3 - Biochemistry.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0a5503460f949dc807/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Proteins
Polypeptides: very long chains of amino acids
Form larger proteins, which are usually made of more than one polypeptide chain
4 levels of structure for polypeptides Primary: linear sequence
of amino acids Secondary: polypeptide
forms α-helices and β-sheets
Tertiary: R-groups interact with one-another
Quaternary: more than one polypeptide chain making a protein
![Page 16: SECTION 2: CARBON COMPOUNDS Chapter 3 - Biochemistry.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0a5503460f949dc807/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Proteins
Enzymes: Protein (or RNA) molecules that act as biological catalysts
How enzymes work: Induced Fit Model of Enzyme Action
Enzyme reactions depend on the physical fit between the enzyme and its substrate (the reactant being catalyzed)
Active Site: portion of the enzyme that the substrate fits into
The linkage between the enzyme and the substrate causes a slight change in the enzyme’s shape which puts a strain on the substrate bonds
The enzyme releases the products and remains unchanged
Temperature and pH effect an enzyme’s activity

Lipids
Lipids: large, nonpolar organic molecules DO NOT dissolve in H20
Building blocks of lipids: Glycerol:
Functional group = -OH
Fatty Acids: unbranched carbon-chains Functional group = -COOH
![Page 19: SECTION 2: CARBON COMPOUNDS Chapter 3 - Biochemistry.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0a5503460f949dc807/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Lipids
Fatty Acids Continued: Fatty acids can be saturated (each carbon is bonded to 4
other things – “full”)
Fatty acids can be unsaturated (when the carbon atoms form double bonds with each other in the carbon chain)

Lipids
Types of Lipids: Triglycerides: 3 fatty acids attached
to a glycerol
Phospholipids: 2 fatty acids attached to a glycerol, with a phosphate attached to the 3rd carbon of the glycerol Makes-up the cell membrane of cells
