Notes: Chapter 2.3Carbon Compounds
Slide2Chemistry of CarbonCarbon can form four covalent bonds.(
tetravalence
)
Carbon usually bonds with other non metals
6 protons
6 neutrons
6 electrons
first shell- 2
second shell- 4
Slide3Carbon atoms have unique bonding properties.
Carbon forms covalent bonds with up to four other atoms, including other carbon atoms.
Carbon-based molecules have three general types of structures.
straight chain
branched chain
ring
Slide4Single BondA single bond is signified by a solid line between symbols; shares 2 electrons
Slide5Double BondA double bond is signified by two solid lines between symbols; shares 4 electrons
Slide6Triple BondA triple bond is signified by three solid lines between symbols; shares 6 electrons
Slide7MacromoleculesMacromolecules are “Giant molecules”
Consist of monomers (smaller units) that join
to
form polymers (large molecules of repeating units – monomers- bonded together by covalent bonds.
Macromolecules
Macromolecules are “
Giant
molecules”
Consist of
monomers
(smaller units) that join together to form
polymers
This process is called
Polymerization.
Slide8MacromoleculesThe process of bonding monomers together is called polymerization

Slide9Many carbon-based molecules are made of many small subunits bonded together.
Monomers are the individual subunits.
Polymers are made of many monomers.
Slide10Dehydration ReactionMonomers are connected by a reaction in which 2 molecules are covalently bonded together through the loss of a water molecule
.
Hydrolysis Breaking the covalent bond within the polymer to break off a monomer involves the breaking a water molecule and inserting its pieces
.
Slide12Types of macromoleculesCarbohydrates
Lipids
Nucleic Acids
Proteins
Slide13CarbohydratesComposition: made of C, H and O atoms, usually in a 1:2:1 ratio
Monomer- monosaccharide
Polymer – polysaccharide
Uses: Main source of energy for organisms, structural purpose in cell membrane, and exoskeleton of insects.
Slide14CarbohydratesExamples
Sugars (Saccharides)
Monosaccharide = simple sugar molecule
Disaccharide = two monosaccharides bonded together with a glycosidic linkage
Slide15CarbohydratesStarches: Complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides) that store extra sugar
In animals, starch is called glycogen, structural is called chitin
Chitin is used by arthropods to build their exoskeletons.
Slide16Carbohydrates2. In plants, “plant starch”, structural is called cellulose
Cellulose makes up the cell wall of plant cells.
Humans cannot breakdown cellulose during digestion.
Known as “insoluble fiber”
Slide17Lipids1.Composition: C, H, O. More C and H and a few O
2. Subunits: glycerol (“head”) and fatty acids (long carbon chain that makes up the “tail”)
Glycerol
Fatty Acid
Slide18Lipids3. Not soluble in water – non-polar
4. Function: energy storage, main part of cell membrane, hormones, cushions vital organs and insulates the body
5. Examples: fats (3 fatty acid chains),
phosopholipids (2 fatty acid chains), oils, waxes, steroids (hormones), cholesterol
Slide19Lipids have several different functions.
broken down as a source of energy
make up cell membranes
used to make hormones
Slide20Lipids
6. Types of fatty acids:
a.
Unsaturated fatty acids
are found in lipids that are liquid at room temperature, C=C bonds
The double bond creates a kink in the tails that keeps them from packing closely together.
Example: Olive oil
Double bond
Slide21Lipids
b.
Saturated fatty acids
are found in lipids that are solids at room temperature, no C=C bonds
Example: Shortening, butter
Slide22Saturated = only single bonds, maximum number of H atoms
Unsaturated = at least on C = C double bond
Types of Lipids
lipid
lipid
Slide23ProteinsComposition: C, H, O, N
Function:
Structure
Storage
transport of other substancesmovementImmunityRegulate Metabolism
Catalyze reactions (make them happen)
Slide24ProteinsMade of monomers called amino acids that are linked together to form a chain
20 different types of amino acids
All have the same general structure
Draw this in your notes!
Label!!
Carboxyl Group
Slide25Amino acids are linked by peptide bonds.
Proteins are polymers of amino acid monomers.
Amino acids differ in side groups, or R groups.
Twenty different amino acids are used to build proteins in organisms.
Slide26Some Amino Acids…
General structure
Alanine
Serine
Amino group
Carboxyl group
Slide27Slide284 Levels of StructurePrimaryUnique sequence of amino acids linked together to form a polypeptide chain
Changing the order of even 1 A.A. changes the shape and ability to function.
Slide29Secondary
α
- helix OR
β- pleated sheetRepeatedly coiled or folded portions of the polypeptide chain as a result of hydrogen bonding at regular intervals along the backbone.
Slide30Tertiaryc. 3D structure, interactions along different parts of the amino acid chain
This creates regions (hydrophobic, hydrophilic,
etc
) within the protein.
Slide31QuarternaryOccurs when a protein consists of 2 or more polypeptide chains.
Slide32Proteins differ in the number and order of amino acids.
Amino acids interact to give a protein its shape.
Incorrect amino acids change a protein
’
s structure and function.
hydrogen bond
Hemoglobin
Slide33Nucleic AcidsComposition: C, H, O, N, P
Function: Store and transmit genetic information by determining the amino acid sequence in proteins
Two types
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
RNA (ribonucleic acid)
Slide34NucleotideMade of monomers called nucleotides. A nucleotide has three parts
5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose or ribose)
Phosphate group
Nitrogenous base
(A, T, G, or C)
