  1. Biochemistry Biology Harlingen High School South

  2. II. Water Chemistry • A. ________ is the most abundant chemical in the body. • B. Water has many characteristics that make it vital to our bodies. • 1. _____—water is a very small molecule, so it moves fast and can squeeze into tiny crevasses between other molecules. Water Size

  3. II. Water Chemistry • B. Water has many characteristics that make it vital to our bodies. • 2. _________--Hydrogen has a slightly positive charge while oxygen has a slightly negative charge. This makes it easy for water to pry apart other charged molecules, dissolving them. Called a __________________. Polarity Universal Solvent

  4. II. Water Chemistry • B. Water has many characteristics that make it vital to our bodies. • 3. _______________--Due to polarity, water forms a crystal structure that is less dense than liquid water. Crystal structure

  5. II. Water Chemistry • B. Water has many characteristics that make it vital to our bodies. • 4. _____________--water absorbs and releases heat energy slowly, and can hold a great deal of heat energy. This helps organisms maintain their body temperature in the safe range. Heat capacity

  6. II. Water Chemistry • B. Water has many characteristics that make it vital to our bodies. • 5. __________________--Polarity allows water to stick to itself (cohesion) and to any charged material (adhesion). Water can glue materials together. Cohesion & Adhesion

  7. II. Water Chemistry • B. Water has many characteristics that make it vital to our bodies. • 6. _______--Water can act as either an acid or a base, maintaining a stable pH in our bodies. Buffer

  8. III. Macromolecules • A. What are they? • 1. __________________________________ _______________________________________ • 2. Made of smaller pieces called __________ that can be assembled like legos to form a variety of structures. A large chain of monomers is called a _________. Very large molecules that make most of the structure of the body monomers polymer

  9. III. Macromolecules • B. Carbohydrates • 1. Monomer: ____________________ • 2. Polymer: _____________________ • 3. Structure:______________________ ________________________________ • 4. Uses: ___________________ • 5. Examples: ________________ monosaccharide (sugar) polysaccharide (starch) rings of carbon with oxygen and hydrogen attached; CH2O energy, plant structure sucrose, cellullose

  10. Examples of Carbohydrates

  11. III. Macromolecules • C. Lipids • 1. Monomer: __________ • 2. Polymer: ___________ • 3. Structure:______________________ ________________________________ • 4. Uses: ________________________ • 5. Examples: ____________________ fatty acid lipid or fat 3 long chains of carbon hydrogen on a glycerol molecule energy, structure, warmth fat, oil, cholesterol

  12. Examples of Lipids

  13. III. Macromolecules • D. Protein • 1. Monomer: _______________ • 2. Polymer: _____________________ • 3. Structure:______________________ ________________________________ • 4. Uses: ________________________ • 5. Examples: ____________________ amino acid (20) protein or polypeptide central carbon atom with hydrogen, amine, carboxyl, & R groups structure, emergency energy skin, insulin, enzymes

  14. Examples of Proteins

  15. III. Macromolecules • E. Nucleic Acids • 1. Monomer: _______________ • 2. Polymer: ___________ • 3. Structure:______________________ ________________________________ • 4. Uses: ___________________ • 5. Examples: _______________ nucleotide (5) nucleic acid 5-carbon sugar attached to nitrogen base and phosphate group stores genetic code DNA and RNA

  16. Examples of Nucleic Acids

  17. IV. ATP adenosine triphosphate • A. ATP stands for _____________________ • B. Cells use ATP as a __________________ • C. Made of adenine with ___ phosphates • D. Lots of energy is stored in the bond between _____________________________ • E. When this bond is broken, tremendous energy is released. • F. The pieces are then reassembled, storing more energy for another use. rechargeable battery 3 the second and third phosphates

  18. Examples of ATP

  19. V. Enzymes • A. Special proteins that speed chemical reactions • 1. Chemical reactions require a certain _______________ to get started. • 2. Enzymes decrease this energy, making reactions occur faster. activation energy

  20. V. Enzymes • B. Lock-and-Key Model • 1. Enzymes are not used up by the reaction, but each can only work on one reaction (________________). • 2. This is called the lock-and-key model of enzymes. An enzyme is like a _____ which can open exactly one _____. If you want to “unlock” another reaction, you need a different enzyme. enzyme specificity key lock

  21. V. Enzymes

  22. V. Enzymes • C. Factors which affect enzymes • 1. _____________--enzymes, like all proteins, change shape when exposed to heat or cold. Each has an optimal temperature range. • 2. ____--all enzymes have an optimal range of pH. Example: stomach • 3. _____________--having more enzymes makes the reaction faster. Temperature pH Concentration
