    1. The document discusses the four main categories of biomolecules - carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. 2. It explains that carbohydrates are made up of simple sugars like glucose, proteins are made up of amino acids, and lipids are made up of fatty acids and glycerol. 3. The document provides examples of polymers formed from monomers, such as starch and cellulose from simple sugars, and DNA and RNA from nucleotides.

    GENERAL BIOLOGY 1

    biomolecules
    The Building Blocks of Life

    Prepared By: Pedelou A. Dulnuan


    LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

    1. Determine biomolecules.
    2. Distinguish between carbohydrates, proteins ,
    lipids , and nucleic acids.
    3. Characteristics and molecular structures of
    biomolecules.
    4. Importance of biomolecules.
    WHAT ARE BIOMOLECULES?

    “complex organic
    molecules which form the
    basis of life”
    WHAT ARE BIOMOLECULES?

    There are 4 categories of macromolecules:


    •Carbohydrates
    •Proteins,
    •Lipids,
    •and Nucleic acids
    A
    1._______________________

    B
    2._______________________

    C
    carbohydrates

    Nucleic acids
    Proteins

    Fatty acids
    Carbon is the central element

    • All biomolecules contain a Carbon chain or ring


    • Carbon has 4 outer shell electrons (valence = 4)
    • Therefore it’s bonding capacity is great
    • It forms covalent bonds –hence, has strong bonds
    • Once bound to other elements (or to other Carbons), it is
    very stable
    carbohydrates

    • Simple sugars, such as glucose, are the monomers of


    complex carbohydrates.

    • Simple sugars, such as glucose, are the


    monomers of complex carbohydrates.
    Monomers
    • Simple sugars, such as glucose, LINEAR STRUCTURE

    is an example monomer of
    complex carbohydrates.

    • Label a hydrogen group and


    hydroxyl group on the glucose
    diagram. What are some
    properties of these groups?

    RING STRUCTURE
    What is similar about these four simple sugars?

    A B
    glucose fructose sucroses

    MONOSACCHARIDES DISACCHARIDES

    What is the scientific term for a pair of monomers linked


    together?
    DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS

    HOW ARE DISACCHARIDES/ POLYMERS FORMED?


    HOW ARE MONOMERS FORMED?
    What do you see in the structure of cellulose that tells you that it is
    a carbohydrate?
    Cellulose vs. Starch

    • We can digest starch (amylose) but not cellulose.


    • What difference do you see that might be the reason behind this?
    A C

    B D
    Nucleic acids

    • Nucleotides link together to form nucleic acids. The


    sugars bind to the phosphate groups to form the
    backbone of the chain.
    Proteins

    • Amino acids are the monomers of


    proteins.
    Fatty acids

    • Fatty acids are long chain carboxylic


    acids that are insoluble in water.
    Try to fill in this table from memory:

    Monomers Polymers Examples

    Complex Starch, Cellulose,


    Simple sugars
    Carbohydrates etc.

    Hemoglobin,
    Amino acids Proteins Keratin, etc.

    Fats, waxes, oils,


    Fatty acids & glycerol Lipids steroids.

    Nucleotide DNA, RNA


    Nucleic Acids
