Food provides your body with materials to grow and repair tissues. It provides energy for everything you do.. Your body breaks down the food you eat into nutrients it can use. . Nutrients. are the substances in food that provide the raw materials and energy the body needs to carry out life processes.. Lipids. Proteins. Nucleic acids. CHNOPS, CHNOPS, CHNOPS, CHNOPS, CHNOPS, CHNOPS… Everybody!. Macromolecules. What is a macromolecule?. Large molecules made up of smaller building blocks or subunits. Ultimate . question . for biologists. Many theories/hypotheses/beliefs. Cultural: How is all life connected?. Religious: Is there a creator?. Philosophical: Are we here at all?. Scientific: How could life originate?. The oldest fossils date to 3.5-3.8 . bya. . How did life originate? “Reductionism” would suggest that the components of life—molecules—would have had to form first. Let’s meet them, and then see how they form.. Ultimate . question . for biologists. Many theories/hypotheses/beliefs. Cultural: How is all life connected?. Religious: Is there a creator?. Philosophical: Are we here at all?. Scientific: How could life originate?. polymers. four major classes of biologically important organic molecules: . carbohydrates. lipids. proteins . (and related compounds). nucleic acids . (and related compounds). Discuss hydrolysis and condensation, and the connection between them.. 1. Unit Map. 2. You are here. 3. Facts and questions about organisms. Some things we know:. All organisms are made of cells. All the functions of organisms are done by cells working together. All cells are made of molecules. In order to survive, the human body needs the nutrients found in food. These nutrients, which perform a number of life-sustaining functions in the body, are divided into 6 main categories: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. Each has a unique function in the normal growth and repair of the body.. Agenda. (10) Catalyst. (15) Review: Biomolecules and Enzymes. (15) Cloze Practice. (30) . Trashketball. (. 15) . Daily Quiz. I can:. review the four classes of biomolecules, and enzymes. Catalyst. Name 4 things that prokaryotes and eukaryotes have in common.. The element Carbon is found in most living organisms.. The study of carbon based molecules is known as Organic Chemistry.. Other key elements in cells are:. Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Sulfur. Bio-Chemistry (AKA Organic Chemistry). Inorganic Compounds. : from minerals or non-living source.. Organic Compounds. : contain . Carbon. & come from a living thing.. Carbon can combine with other elements to form millions of compounds.. Harrison/ . Forensics. All living things contain organic macromolecules: . Lipids. , proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Characteristic for these organic molecules is that they are made up of only a small number of elements: . Chemistry. Life functions because of . chemical reactions.. A chemical reaction is where atoms form with other atoms to make . molecules.. A molecule is an . arrangement. of at least . two atoms. , although some have hundreds of atoms.. Why are Macromolecules important to the Human Body. ?. Macromolecules are essential to the functioning of the human body. . . Carbohydrates . are . the body’s main . source of energy. . Lipids . provide stored energy reserves. This allows us to survive when carbohydrates are not being supplied to the body. .
