StandardsBy the end of the unit you should be able to:
Model synthesis and hydrolysis reactions and relate the reactions to the human body
Recognize carbs, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids in formula & skeleton form, chemical structure and describe their function in the human body
Recognize monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides and relate the molecules to how they function in the body
Recognize, describe the location of, and explain the importance of the following in the human body: neutral fats, steroids and phospholipids
I can list the major functions of nucleic acids (RNA & DNA), describe their structure with accurate detail and compare these 2 molecules
I can compare the following pairs: saturated and unsaturated fats, DNA & RNA
I can differentiate among the primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of proteins and explain how these levels of structure relate to protein functions
I can relate protein structure to protein specific examples from the human body
I ca draw the general structure of the ATP molecule in its role as the “energy currency” of cells

Biological Molecules
3.1 Life’s molecular diversity is based on the
properties of carbon
A carbon atom can form four covalent bonds
allowing it to build large and diverse organic
compounds
Organic Molecules – contain carbon atom
and a hydrogen atom
C can bond with up to 4 other atoms

Hydrocarbons are composed of only hydrogen and carbon

3.3 Cells make a huge number of large
molecules from a small set of small molecules
The four main classes of biological
molecules are carbohydrates, lipids,
proteins, and nucleic acids
Many of the molecules are gigantic and
are called macromolecules

CARBOHYDRATES 3.4 Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates
The carbohydrate monomers are monosaccharides
A monosaccharide has a formula that is a multiple of
CH2O and contains hydroxyl groups and a carbonyl
group

TALKING ABOUT SCIENCE 3.19 Linus Pauling contributed to
our understanding of the chemistry
of life
Linus Pauling made important
contributions to our understanding
of protein structure and function
Discovered the alpha helical
structure in proteins (secondary
level) and also the difference in the
structure of hemoglobin in regular
blood vs sickle cell anemia blood

NUCLEIC ACIDS 3.20 Nucleic acids are information-rich or
energy carrying polymers of nucleotides
There are 3 ex: DNA, RNA, ATP
Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA serve as
the blueprints for proteins and thus control the
life of a cell
ATP serves as the energy currency of the cell

same basic shape!

DNA consists of two polynucleotides twisted
around each other in a double helix, the two
strands run antiparallel to each other Stretches of a DNA molecule called genes program the amino

RNA, by contrast is a single-stranded
polynucleotide
RNA, when compared to DNA, is: Shorter
Single stranded
Has a U base (uracil) instead of a T base (thymine)
Has MANY more types/jobs, ex: messenger, transfer, ribosomal etc

ATP – Adenosine Triphosphate
Produced by cellular
respiration
Glucose + oxygen -
Carbon dioxide +
water + ATP
ATP – needed for
active transport
Notice – 2 high
energy bonds
Synthesis of –
ADP + Pi → ATP + H2O
