Macromolecules and Living Systems Learning Goals o I can identify the four type of macromolecules the body needs o I can discuss why it is important to consume macromolecules Inorganic Molecules Simple and small inorganic (non-living) matter include H2O, H+, Na+, phosphates Organic Molecules contain carbon bonded to H2 or other atoms can combine together to form macromolecules (nutrients) Amoeba Sisters https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=YO244P1e9QM Why do we need Macromolecules? Provide energy for: cellular activities building and repairing tissues life functions survival Macromolecules There are 4 main types (also known as essential nutrients): – Carbohydrates – Lipids – Proteins – Nucleic acids Carbohydrates Always contain C, H, O Provide short-term or long-term energy storage There are 3 main types: – Monosaccharides – Disaccharides – polysaccharides Monosaccharide ex. Disaccharides ex. Polysaccharides - contains many linked simple sugars ex. Lipids Consists of an alcohol attached to a fatty acid chain Stores lots of energy Are not soluble in water Lipids Ex. fats, oils, butter, lard, olive oil Phospholipid bilayers separate cells from the external environment Proteins Consist of a.a. attached by a peptide bond These form chains called polypeptides Proteins Can help build and repair muscles Includes enzymes Example amylase Nucleic Acid 2 types: DNA and RNA encoding, transmitting and expressing genetic information The Vital Roles of Minerals and Vitamins Roles of Water Water is vital for maintaining body’s fluid balance An adult produces 1.5 L of urine a day and loses about 1L of water through life processes Roles of Water Roles include: – Flushing toxins, wastes – Lubricating joints – Forming blood, mucus – Regulating body temp. – Transporting materials Assignment pg.410 #2-9, 12
