Ap bio ch 3 Functional Groups & Macromolecules
- 1. The Molecules ofCells… dun dun dahhhhh – ch 3 Organic chem - Carbon – most versatile building block – why? Tetravalence – Where does the C in your body come from?
- 2. Valences of commonatoms in orgs What is the bonding capacity of H? What is the bonding capacity of O? What is the bonding capacity of N? What is the bonding capacity of C?
- 3. Which of thesewould be improperly bonded?
- 4. Variation in Cskeletons contributes to diversity of organic molecules Straight, branched, closed rings, some have double bonds, triple
- 5. Isomers • molecules w/same molecular formula (same number and kinds of atoms) but diff atom arrangements (which atoms are attached to which and how) Classes of isomers: structural, geometric, enantiomers
- 7. Geometric isomers =share same covalent partnerships, but differ in their spatial arrangements. • Result from fact that double bonds will not allow the atoms they join to rotate freely about the axis of the bonds. • Subtle differences affects biological activity.
- 8. • Enantiomers =mirror images of each other. • Can occur when 4 diff atoms or groups of atoms are bonded to the same carbon (asymmetric carbon). • 2 diff spatial arrangements of the four groups around the asymmetric carbon. These arrangements are mirror images. • Usually one form is biologically active and its mirror image is not.
- 9. How many asymmetriccarbons are present?
- 10. Functional Groups • contributeto molecular diversity of life • frequently bonded to carbon skeleton of organic molecules. • Have specific chemical and physical properties. • Are the regions of organic molecules which are commonly chemically reactive. • Behave consistently from one organic molecule to another. • Depending upon their number and arrangement, determine unique chemical properties of organic molecules in which they occur.

- 13. Carboxyl Group • polar group • Conveys water solubility • Since it donates protons, has acidic properties. • Compounds w/ this group are called carboxylic acids.
- 14. Amino Group • polargroup • Conveys water solubility • Acts as weak base. The unshared pair of electrons on the nitrogen can accept a proton, giving it a +1 charge. • Organic compounds w/ this group are called amines.
- 15. Sulfhydryl Group • Helpstabilize the structure of proteins. • Organic compounds with this functional group are called thiols. What other functional groups do you see in this molecule? Could this molecule have an enantiomer isomer? How do you know?
- 16. Phosphate Group • Loss of two protons leaves phosphate group w/ a - charge. • Has acid properties since it loses protons. • Polar group • Conveys water solubility • Important in cellular energy storage & transfer
- 17. Methyl Group • Nonpolar • Conveys hydrophobic properties

- 20. How do thebonds b/t monomers form? Condensation rx or dehydration synthesis – removal of water from monomers Facilitated by enzymes – speed up the rx
- 21. How do thebonds b/t monomers break? Hydrolysis – bonds broken by addition of water Hydro = water Lysis = break Ex: digestion Enzymes facilitate

- 23. Carbohydrates • Function –fuel & building mat. • Sugars & their polymers • simplest are monosaccharides or simple sugars. • Disaccharides (double sugars) consist of 2 monosaccharides joined by condensation reaction. • Polysaccharides - polymers of many monosaccharides.
- 24. monosaccharides • some multipleof the unit CH2O. • Ex: glucose = C6H12O6. • Funcitonal groups: carbonyl group (>C=O) and multiple hydroxyl groups (—OH). • names end in -ose. •
- 25. Diversity of monosaccharides •classified by # of carbon atoms in skeleton (3-7) • Some are enantiomers of each other - spatial arrangement of their parts around asymmetric C atoms. Structural isomers enantiomers
- 26. Monosaccharides cont… • mostform rings in aqueous solutions. • major nutrients for cellular work.
- 27. Disaccharides • glycosidic linkageto form a disaccharide via dehydration. • Maltose - joining 2 glucose • Sucros- joining glucose & fructose. • Lactose - joining glucose & galactose.
- 28. Polysaccharides - storage •Function in storage & structural roles. • 100s – 1000s of monosaccharides joined • Starch - plant storage polysac composed entirely of glucose monomers. • Plants store surplus glucose as starch granules within plastids, including chloroplasts & withdraw as needed for E or C. • Glycogen – animal storage polysac. Store 1 day supply in liver & muscles
- 29. Polysaccharides - structural • Cellulose – plant structural polysac - major component of cell walls – most abundant organic compound on Earth. – Like starch, cellulose is polymer of glucose. However, the glycosidic linkages in these two polymers differ. – Digestion... Symbiotic orgs • Chitin – animal structural polysac - found in the exoskeletons of arthropods – also provides structural support for cell walls of fungi.
