  1. Organic Macromolecules The Big Four Carbohydrates Fats/Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids

  2. Type of Molecule (polymer) Carbohydrate • C, H, O • 1:2:1 Ratio • C6H12O6

  3. Basic Function • Provide instant energy • 4 carbs/gram

  4. Simple Sugars = Monosaccharides End in -ose Sub Units (monomers)

  5. Other notes . . Sucrose – disaccharide Table Sugar http://bioweb.wku.edu/courses/BIOL115/Wyatt/Biochem/Carbos.htm - Print

  6. Polysaccharide – (100’s) Starch – plants Cellulose – plant cell walls Glycogen – animals Muscles, liver Other notes . . .

  7. Other notes . . .

  8. Look a lot alike – body lacks an enzyme to break down sucralose – therefore- not digested = no calories

  9. Type of Molecule (polymer) • Lipids/Fat • C,H,O • Less O than C • Not 1:2:1 ratio

  10. Basic Function • Long term storage energy • 9 calories/gram

  11. Sub Units (monomers) • Glycerol • 3 fatty acids

  12. Other notes . . . • Triglycerides - fat found in your blood • Oil – Liquid at room temp

  13. Unsaturated – plant Healthier Saturated – animal Not healthy FYI:

  14. Type of Molecule (polymer) • Protein • C,H,O,N

  15. Basic Function • Structure • Muscle • Tissue in bones and skin • Enzymes • 4 calories/gram – last resort

  16. 20 kinds of amino Acids Sub Units (monomers)

  17. Subunits . . . • Polypeptide • Connected with peptide bond

  18. FYI: 8 essential amino acids: • phenylalanine • valine • threonine • tryptophan • isoleucine • methionine • leucine • lysine

  19. Other notes . . . • Enzymes – speed up reactions • End in -ase

  20. Type of Molecule (polymer) Nucleic Acids • C,H,O,N,P

  21. Basic Function • DNA – hereditary material • (helps build proteins & enzymes) FYI: • RNA – controls protein synthesis

  22. Sub Units (monomers) • Nucleotides • FYI: • Phosphate group • Sugar (Deoxyribose & Ribose) • Nitrogen Base

  23. Other notes . . . • DNA forms double helix

  24. The end

  25. In words, aerobic, endurance exercise, relies predominantly on aerobic glycolysis - metabolism of carbs, fats, and protein to generate ATP:1. Carbohydrate Metabolism: carb + 02 ---> 36ATP + C02 + H202. Fat Metabolism: fat + 02 ---> 130 ATP + C02 + H203. Amino Acid Protein Metabolism: proteins + 02 ---> 15 ATP + C02 + H20ATP is broken down by a chemical reaction in your body to produce energy:ATP --> Phosphate + ADP + EnergyOnly a tiny fraction of the energy (relatively speaking) necessary to complete an endurance event is going to come from the ATP-creatine pathway (that thin sliver of red in the picture above). • http://wowowse.blogspot.com/
