Polysaccharides

long polymers that contain many glucose subunits.


–Starch –Glycogen –Cellulose –Chitincan

Starch

is the storage form of glucose in plants

Glycogen

is the storage form of glucose in animals.

Cellulose

can be found in the cell walls of plants

Chitin

can be found in the exoskeleton of some crustacean. (thread for some sutures)

Organic Molecules always contain...
Carbon(C) and Hydrogen (H)
Macromolecules
contain many molecules joined together

Monomers

Simple organic molecules that exist individually.
Polymers
Large organic molecules formed by combining monomers

Isomers

Compounds with the same chemical formula but different three dimensional structures

FunctionalGroups

Particular cluster of atoms that always behaves in a certain way


Gives molecules distinctive properties

The functional groups are...

1. Hydroxyl (OH)


2. Carboxyl (COOH)/ acidic group


3. Amino (NH2)

–DehydrationReaction

an -OH and -H are removed as a water molecule

–Hydrolysis Reaction

the components of water are added

The Simple Carbohydrates are...

Monosaccharides and Disaccharides

Monosaccharides

Sugars with 3 - 7 carbon atoms

The Monosaccharides are...

glucose,


fructose,


galactose

Pentose

A 5-carbon sugar

Hexose

A 6-carbon sugar

Disaccharides

contain two monosaccharides

The Disaccharides are...

maltose, sucrose, lactose

Polysaccharides

are long polymers that contain many glucose subunits.

The Polysaccharides are...

–Starch


–Glycogen


–Cellulose


–Chitin

Glycogen

The storage form of glucose in animals

Starch

The storage form of glucose in plants

Cellulose

can be found in the cell walls of plants

Chitin

Can be found in the exoskeleton of some crustacean. (thread for some sutures)

Lipids

They are diverse in structure and function.


They do not dissolve in water (hydrophobic)

The Lipids are...

–Fats and oils


–Phospholipids


–Steroids

Fats

–Usually of animal origin


–Solid at room temperature

Oils

–Usually of plant origin


–Liquid at room temperature

Triglycerides

–One glycerol and 3 fatty acid molecules

A fatty acid

A hydrocarbon chain that ends with the acidic group —COOH

Saturated fatty acids

have no double covalent bonds between carbon atoms.

Unsaturated fatty acids

have 1 or more double bonds between carbon atoms.

Hydrogenation

-turns good fats into bad fats


-(unsaturated into saturated)

Emulsification

Fat droplets disperses in water

Emulsifiers contain...

molecules with a polar and nonpolar end.

Phospholipids

–2 fatty acids + a phosphate group


–Primary components of cellular membranes


–They spontaneously form a bilayer consisting of hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails

hydrophilic heads face...

outward, toward watery solutions





hydrophobic tails face...

inward, away from watery solutions

Steroids

All have a backbone of four fused carbon rings.

The Steroids are...

Cholesterol, Testosterone, Estrogen
