PPT-Chapter 5 The Structure and Function of Macromolecules

Overview The Molecules of Life Within cells small organic molecules are joined together to form larger molecules Macromolecules are large molecules composed of thousands of covalently connected atoms. What are Macromolecules? Macromolecules are very large molecules important to living organisms. Most macromolecules are built by joining smaller molecule subunits, often called “monomers”.

How does the unique structure of the macromolecules correspond to their function?. copyright cmassengale. Standard. :. SB1c: Determine the essential elements of the four macromolecules (proteins, lipids, nucleic acids & carbohydrates) .Identify the functions of the four main macromolecules (polymer and monomers) Explain the characteristics and function of enzymes. . SC.912.L.18.1 Describe the . basic molecular structure . and. . primary function . of the . four macromolecules . Carbohydrates. Proteins. Lipids. Nucleic acids. MACROMOLECULES. Living things including cells, depend on a variety of biochemical processes for their survival.. Cell/Developmental Biology I. Group Members. Kelly Hogan, Facilitator . Rita Graze. Matthew . Kearley. . Zheng-Hua. Ye. Xiaoyu. Zhang. Christine Sestero. Heather Tinsley. Learning Goal: . Understand . The ability to biosynthesize the 4 major macromolecules. i.e. you can create by yourself- the 4 . major molecules . of life. What is life again?. The reason these are necessary for life is because they are the basic ingredients for the macromolecules:. Structure and function are closely related!. Change the structure = cannot function. Examples:. . Red blood cells . – sickle cell anemia- round shape allows them to fit through blood vessels. Muscle cells . Part II: Proteins & Nucleic Acids. The FOUR Classes of Large Biomolecules. All living things are made up of four classes of large biological molecules: . Carbohydrates . Lipids. Protein. N. ucleic Acids. Independent. Group. Macromolecule Activity. Standard. SB1. Students will analyze the nature of the relationships between structures and functions in living cells.. c. Identify the function of the four major macromolecules (i.e., carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids). . Biochemistry-Macromolecules 4 types Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids Carbohydrates Function of Carbohydrates Energy source!!! Energy is stored in the C-H bonds Plant Structure Cellulose is a carbohydrate found in the cell wall of plants The Structure and Function of Macromolecules Part II: Proteins & Nucleic Acids The FOUR Classes of Large Biomolecules All living things are made up of four classes of large biological molecules: The printed out notes are more detailed than these slides, you are expected to read the chapter and your notes - anything is fair game on the test, but the cell chapter is largely review. . Quick: Grab some scratch paper and quickly discuss with your partner what you remember from freshman biology about the cell. . Carbohydrates and Lipids . (Ch. 5-1 and Ch. 5-2). Describe the properties of the monomers and the type of bonds that connect the monomers in biological macromolecules.. Explain how hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis are used to cleave and form covalent bonds between monomers..
