Carbohydrates

CARBOHYDRATESBy: Clay Bowes (leader), Joey Cristee

(Vocabulary), Sam Mohr (Elements), Nick Alcock (Monomers), Olivia Roudebush

(Polymers), Clare Corr (Use in organisms)

Vocabulary Monosaccharide- Single sugar molecules Polysaccharides- large macromolecules Glycogen- Polysaccharide that stores

excess sugar; for animals Starches- complex extra sugar

carbohydrate; for plants Cellulose- used to store excess sugar in

plants; for structure (desks-slabs) wood

Elements Made of Carbon Contains Oxygen

Contains Hydrogen

Monomer The Monomer of Carbohydrates are monosaccharaides It is simple sugars like glucose(basic) and

fructose (fruits and plants), galactose (milk sugar)

Polymers Known as polysaccharides Starches and sugars Arranged in long chains

Common Starch Cellulose

Uses Carbohydrates in Organisms

Plants and Animals uses carbohydrates as a source of energy.

They are also used to store access sugar These are called Glycogen structure

SummaryCarbohydrates are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are based in a 1:2:1 ratio. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for living things. Also, Carbohydrates can be used for structural purposes. There are two types of carbs: sugars and starches. Sugars are not good for long-term energy but are good for short bursts of energy. Starches can be stored for long-term use. Sugars and starches have the same monomers. These monomers are called monosaccharides. There are three types of sugars: glucose, galactose, and fructose. Starches have many monosaccharides called polysaccharides. There are animal starches and plant starches; the animal starches are called glycogen and the plant starches are called cellulose. Glycogen is responsible for movement and cellulose is responsible for plant rigidity and strength. Carbohydrates in short, are the source for energy as well as the way to store energy.

Proteins

By: Emma, Gina, Kristi, Kate, Thomas, and Ryan

Vocabulary

Proteins – Macromolecules that contain nitrogen as well as carbon,

hydrogen, and oxygen

Amino Acids – Compounds with an amino group (-NH2) on one end and a carboxyl group (-COOH) on the other

end.

R-Groups – The portion of each amino acid that is different and is a side chain.

Elements

• Hydrogen• Oxygen• Nitrogen• Carbon

Monomer

• Amino Acids are monomer’s of proteins

• Proteins/polymers • ● Proteins are polymers of amino acids lined

by• covalent bonds• ● Serve lots of functions• ○ Catalysts (enzymes), structural roles• (cytoskeleton), take ions and molecules across• membranes, hormones.

Proteins in organisms

• Different types of proteins do different things • Needed for tissue growth and repair• Your body needs protein

Nucleic AcidsBy: Halle, Lily, Jackie, lexi, courtney, evan , AND CHARLIE.

Summary The nucleic acids are the building blocks of living

organisms. You may have heard of DNA described the same way. DNA is just one type of nucleic acid. Some other types are RNA, mRNA, and tRNA. All of these "Na's" work together to help cells replicate and build proteins. They are actually made up chains of base pairs stretching from only a few to millions. When those pairs combine in super long chains (DNA), they make a shape called a double helix. There are five easy parts of nucleic acids. The five pieces are Uracil, Cytosine, Thymine, Adenine, and Guanine.

Elements Found Carbon Oxygen Nitrogen Hydrogen Phosphorous

Monomer Nucleotide is the monomer

Polymer DNA and RNA

Uses Stores and transmits genetic

information

Vocabulary Nucleic Acids- Macromolecules containing Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon,

Nitrogen, Phosphorous. Nucleotides- consists of three parts: a five carbon sugar, a phosphate

group, and a nitrogenous base. Ribonucleic Acid- RNA Deoxyribonucleic acid-DNA Protein: class of organic compounds which are present in and vital to

every living cell Polymer: a large molecule (macromolecule) composed of repeating

structural units Monomer: an atom or a small molecule that may bind chemically to

other monomers to form a polymer.

LipidsBy: Nick Nagy, Lexi Lewis, DJ Estrada, AJ Krok, Shelby Goble, and Terry Winston

Where Do We Find Lipids?• Lipids are fats, oils, and waxes• Some examples are olive oil and butter

Fats

Saturated Fats  —Saturated fats are when they contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms—Ex. butter

Unsaturated Fats  —Formed when there is at least one carbon-carbon double bond—If there is more then one of those double bonds then it is polyunsaturated —Tend to ne liquid at room temperature—Ex: Olive Oil contain unsaturated fatty acids

Vocabulary

• Lipids- Group of molecules. Usually not soluble in water. 

•  

Elements

Mostly  • Carbon • Hydrogen • Oxygen

Uses Of A Lipid

• Stores energy•  Structure and cell membrane•  Hormones/Cell signals

Monomer of a LipidGlycerol and 3 Fatty Acids make up the monomer of a lipid. These make up the structure for a lipid.

Polymer of Lipids

Lipids are not considered Polymers as they do not have consist of repeating units.
