PPT-Carbon-Based Molecules Part 1

Biochemistry Objectives SWBAT describe the bonding properties of carbon atoms SWBAT compare carbohydrates lipids proteins and nucleic acids Starter We have talked about carbon based molecules in other units I want you to take a couple of minutes and make a list of the carbon based compounds we have touched on in this class or you have heard about in other places. organic compounds. isomers. functional groups . Much of the chemistry of life is based on organic compounds. organic compounds. have at least one carbon atom covalently bound to either:. another carbon atom. Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids. Is it made of carbohydrates?. Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates. Organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio.. A carbohydrate with 6 carbon atoms would have…. Democritus – 450 B.C. – “Cannot Be Cut” . Nature of Atoms . Matter- occupies space and has mass . ATOMS. Central Nucleus: Protons- positive charge and Neutrons- neutral charge. Electrons- negative charge - surround the nucleus –electron cloud . How does temperature and pH affect enzyme activity?. Macromolecules. Macromolecules Video. https://. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ7xOSCEmZw. Pay close attention to the following and record on your concept map:. An object whose mirror image is identical to the original and can be superimposed on it is achiral.. Objects such as hands that have . nonsuperimposable. mirror images are chiral. . Learning Goal. .
