LEARNING
COMPETENCY:
Recognize the major
categories of
biomolecules such as
carbohydrates, lipids,
proteins and nucleic
acids.
BIOMOLECULES
🠶 A biomolecule refers
to any molecule that is
produced by living
organisms. As such,
most of them are
organic molecules,
such as
CARBOHYDRATES,
LIPIDS, PROTEINS and
NUCLEIC ACIDS.
CARBOHYDRATES
Carbohydrates aka…

Sugar
Carbs

Starch
How does our body
break down this bread?
Breaks down into
microscopic molecules

Polysaccharide

Monosaccharide
Disaccharide
Structure

One Sugar

Monosaccharid

Sugar

Polysaccharide
Function
🠶 Provide QUICK energy to the
body!
How are
complex
carbohydrates
formed and
broken down?
Hydrolysis
🠶 Addition of WATER to a
compound SPLITS it
disaccharide + H2O ---> monosaccharide
+ monosaccharide

C12H22O11 + H2O ---> C6H12O6 + C6H12O6


Dehydration Synthesis
Combining single compounds into a complex one
by removing water

monosaccharide + monosaccharide ----


> disaccharide + water

C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 ---->C12H22O11 + H2O

(Process forms disaccharides & polysaccharides)


Which
biomolecule
is the
easiest
source of
energy?
Which is the
most
abundant
biomolecule
on earth?
Thank
You!
LIPIDS
Insoluble in
water
Breaks down into
microscopic molecules

Fats, oils, waxes, steroids


Monomer:
3 fatty acids +
glycerol
Function
🠶 Made mainly of carbon and
hydrogen (few oxygen)
🠶 Fat best method of STORING
🠶 forms cell membranes
🠶 Insulates nerve cells
🠶 Insulates body (maintains
homeostasis)
Proteins

Whey
Protein

Meat

Polypeptide
Peanut
butter
This is an amino acid.
It is the monomer for
a protein. It contains
C, H, O and N. It has
3 groups: an amino
group, an R-group,
and a carboxyl
group. The R-group is
considered a variant
group because it
Breaks down into
microscopic molecules

Polypeptide

Meat

Amino Acid

Monomer: amino acid


Polymer: polypeptide
Monomer:
Amino Acids

• Contains C, H, O, N
• 20 types
• Has both
hydrophobic &
hydrophylic ends
• Differ in R-group
• R-group can be
acidic, basic or
neutral
• Makes polypeptide
Polymer: Polypeptide
(peptide means bond)

• Formed by dehydration synthesis


• Sequence determined by DNA
• 3-D and folds to take up less
space
Function of Proteins

🠶 Provides us with building


blocks for life!
🠶 Also regulate most
functions in a cell.
🠶 Glycoproteins (antigens)
🠶 Combines w/DNA to form
chromosomes
🠶 Turns genes on and off
🠶 Antibodies (fights disease)
Function of Proteins

🠶 Provides structure &


strength (fibers)
🠶 Transports molecules in
& out cells
🠶 Hemoglobin (transports
O2)
🠶 Enzymes (speeds up
rxns)- has –ase suffix
🠶 Acts as hormones
(insulin)- many proteins
have suffix of -in
Nucleic Acids

🠶 Contains C, H, O, N, P
🠶 Monomer: NUCLEOTIDES
🠶 Nucleotides consist of 3
parts:
1. 5-Carbon Sugar
2. Phosphate Group
3. Nitrogenous Base
Nucleotide: Nitrogen Bases

🠶 5 types
🠶 Cytosine

🠶 Deoxyribose (in DNA
only)
🠶 Phosphate group
🠶 Contains phosphorus
& oxygen
🠶 Polymer:
polynucleotide
Function
Polypeptide: DNA

🠶 contains the genetic


code
🠶 stores & transmit
heredity/genetic
information

(mitochondria)
🠶 Double stranded
(double helix)
Function
Polypeptide: RNA (ribonucleic acid)
🠶 Carries info from
DNA to cell
🠶 Helps in protein
synthesis
🠶 found in ribosomes &
nucleoli
🠶 Single stranded
Polypeptide: ATP

🠶 Contains
adenine, ribose

Which
biomolecule
has the most
energy!?
C-H bonds

🠶 Count the number of C-H


bonds in your
monosaccharide picture.
🠶 Count the number of C-H
bonds in your saturated or
unsaturated bond picture
🠶 Which biomolecule
(carbs or fats) have more
C-H bonds?
The number of C-H bonds
= the amount of energy

🠶 The more C-H


bonds a
biomolecule has,
the more energy it
has!
🠶 Fats have the most
energy because
they have the most
C-H bonds!
