The cellulose/dietary polymer is a linear molecule found in the crunchy cell wall of plant cells. Carbohydrates Amylase Amylase is an enzyme (protein) released by our salivary glands and pancreas to digest (hydrolyze) starch. Amylase can only digest starch and will not digest glycogen or cellulose. Because the starch polymer is bent, the enzymes Because the cellulose polymer is straight, the can fit into the spaces between each ring and break enzymes cannot fit into the spaces between the rings the chemical bond. such that none of the bond are broken.

Protection from cold and trauma 2. Energy reserves in the form of adipose 3. Forms the biological membranes of our cells 4. Other various functions, like hormones and cholesterol Lipids Exception to the rule of macromolecules Unlike proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates, not all lipids are made from repeating monomers. Instead of being defined by a structure, lipids are defined by a shared property: they are hydrophobic. Lipids therefore form a diverse group. Three major types of lipids: 1. Fats 2. Phospholipids 3. Steroids Lipids 1. Fats Functions of fats in biological systems Function of fats in biological systems: 1. Energy storage 2. Insulation against cold 3. Protection of internal organs 35 Lipids 1. Fats Structure: Fats = fatty acids + glycerol The long, nonpolar hydrocarbon tails of fatty acids are responsible for most of the fatty or oily characteristics of lipids. o Fatty acids are smaller units “monomers”: “Monomer” o Fats are like “polymers composed of fatty acid chains “P-O-L-Y-M-E-R-S” Example: 3 Fatty acid chains in a fat molecule Lipids 1. Fats Structure: Fats = fatty acids + glycerol - Fatty acid molecules can be linked to a glycerol molecule - A triglyceride is a lipid used for energy storage. - Number of fatty acids per glycerol can range from 1 to 3. 1 = monoglyceride 2 = diglyceride 3 = triglyceride Lipids 1. Fats Saturated Fatty Acids The carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain are connected to each other by single covalent bonds and are able to bind their full complement of hydrogen atoms (saturated with hydrogen). - these linear molecules can more easily stack, forming temporary interactions that stabilize them to form products that are solid at room temperature. Lipids 1. Fats Unsaturated Fatty Acids Although many of the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain are linked by single bonds, some are linked by double bonds, as they DO NOT have a full complement of hydrogen atoms. - the presence of the double bond gives the molecule a “kink” preventing them from stacking well, making a product that is liquid at room temperature. Lipids 2. Phospholipids Function of phospholipids Major constituents of cell membranes. Structure of phospholipid 1 phosphate molecule 1 glycerol molecule 2 fatty acid molecules Lipids 2. Phospholipids Structure of phospholipid Phospholipids are amphipathic as they contain both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups in the same molecule. HYDROPHILIC REGION (head) HYDROPHOBIC REGION (tails) Lipids 2. Phospholipids Function of phospholipids When placed in water, they self-assemble into a bilayer, shielding the hydrophobic portion from contacting water. 42 Lipids 3. Steroids Structure of Steroids Made from sterol: 4 fused rings Function of Steroids Cholesterol Vitamin D Constituents of cell membranes Bile Salts Hormones (produced by liver to break down fats) Lipids REVIEW LE CTURE 2 Biomolecules Proteins Nucleic Acids 101-127-AB 00001 Anatomy & Physiology for Paramedics I © Samuel Richer 2024 (adapted from Roxane Millette & Jason ) Lecture 2: Learning Objectives 1.

Polypeptide chains may have coiled or pleated sections A coil called an alpha helix A folded structure is called a beta pleated sheet Proteins Tertiary structure The confirmational shape (3D shape) that the whole polypeptide chain takes on. a combination of bond types determines the protein’s shape and function. Proteins Quaternary structure Sometimes more than 1 polypeptide chain come together to form a protein: Hemoglobin: Collagen: 4 polypeptides join together in this arrangement 3 coiled polypeptides join together like a rope creating to facilitate oxygen transport in blood a strong protein fiber found in connective tissue each subunit has a tertiary structure and come together to form a protein complex Proteins Primary Secondary Tertiary Quaternary Polypeptide can spontaneously organize into a complex shape PROTEIN SHAPE is essential to function Ex: receptor, antibody, enzyme Proteins The folding of a protein is an important process! A slight change in primary structure can affect a protein’s structure & function. structure determines function Proteins Importance of the Primary Structure Proteins Protein Denaturation: PROTEINS are FRAGILE If they lose their 3D structure (unravel) they become non-functional (denatured). Heat (thermoregulation), salt (natremia & kalemia), acidity (acidosis, alkalosis) can all cause denaturation of proteins Protein REVIEW Biomolecules NUCLEIC ACIDS CARBOHYDRATES PROTEINS LIPIDS Structure Nucleic Acids Monomers & Polymers Monomer Polymer Nucleotide Nucleic Acid A T Nucleic Acids Monomers & Polymers Polymers made up of many nucleotide monomers bonded together in a long chain Monomer Polymer Nucleic Acid FOUR KINDS: TWO KINDS: In DNA In RNA DNA Deoxyribonucleic Acid ✓ Thymine ✓ Uracile RNA Ribonucleic Acid ✓ Guanine ✓ Guanine ✓ Adenosine ✓ Adenosine ✓ Cytosine ✓ Cytosine Nucleic Acids Nucleotide = Monomer A Phosphate Nitrogenous Sugar base Each nucleotide has 3 components Nucleic Acids Nucleotide = Monomer A Phosphate Nitrogenous Sugar base Deoxyibose Ribose sugar is found in sugar is found DNA in RNA Nucleic Acids Nucleotide = Monomer A Phosphate Nitrogenous Sugar base Nitrogenous Bases found in RNA Nitrogenous Bases found in DNA Uracil (U) Nucleic Acids DNA vs. RNA Structure DNA is RNA is double stranded single stranded - It has 2 long strands - It has 1 long linked together by polynucleotide strand hydrogen bonds that twists around itself between their nitrogenous bases. -Looks like a twisted ladder Nucleic Acids In DNA In RNA Phosphate Sugar Deoxyribose Ribose Adenine (A) Adenine (A) Guanine (G) Guanine (G) Bases Cytosine (C) Cytosine (C) Thymine (T) Uracil (U) Double stranded DNA Single stranded RNA Nucleic Acids Complementarity of DNA The sugar-phosphate backbones of the strands wrap like a ribbon around the outside of the double helix. The bases pairs point inwards and stabilize the structure through H-bonds. Nucleic Acids Complementarity of DNA The two strands of DNA are not identical, but complementary: - This occurs as the nitrogenous bases pair with each other via hydrogen bonds. This allows for the formation of the double helix. A binds with T C binds with G Function of DNA & RNA Nucleic Acids DNA Functions 1. Makes up our genes, the instructions for making proteins, essential to the cell’s life 2. Transmit genes to offspring: Making a sperm and an egg Nucleic Acids RNA Functions RNA is used as a messenger: it transports an RNA copy of the DNA instructions out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm to build a protein. Nucleic Acids DNA v.s. RNA DNA and RNA are polymers composed of nucleotides and differ in structure and function. DNA is commonly found in the RNA has many more functions nucleus of a cell and stores an inside the cell, including acting organism’s genetic information. as blueprints for proteins. It is It is most commonly found as a most commonly found as a double strand. single strand. Nucleic Acids Nucleic Acid Functions Proteins need to be made all the time by cells How do the instructions for making a protein (DNA in nucleus) get converted into a protein? Each gene on a DNA has a unique nucleotide sequence that codes for the building of a particular amino acid sequence. This process includes 2 steps 1. making a copy of the instructions DNA → mRNA (in the nucleus) 2. making protein from instructions mRNA → PROTEINS (in cytosol) DNA 1 Synthesis of mRNA in the nucleus mRNA NUCLEUS CYTOPLASM 1. In order to make a protein, a copy of the nucleotide sequence (length of the gene) must be made. The copy is a messenger RNA strand (mRNA) DNA mRNA NUCLEUS CYTOPLASM mRNA 2 Movement of mRNA into cytoplasm via nuclear pore 2. The mRNA copy leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm DNA mRNA NUCLEUS CYTOPLASM 3. The nucleotide sequence of the mRNA strand is then translated with the help of a ribosome into Ribosome an amino acid sequence of the desired protein mRNA 3 Synthesis of protein Amino Polypeptide acids Nucleic Acids Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) DNA language is translated into a protein language, forming the primary structure of a protein (linear arrangement of the amino acids). This 1 o structure then determines the 2 o and 3o structures of the protein. 40 Function of ATP Nucleic Acids Nucleotides can also act as sources of energy A cell’s primary source of energy comes from ATP, or adenosine triphosphate. NITROGENOUS BASE SUGAR Phosphate The arrangement of the molecule is very similar to the nucleotide in RNA with simply 2 additional phosphate groups. Nucleic Acids Energy storage - Cells store energy in the covalent bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups of ATP. - These bonds are said to be high-energy because the resulting phosphate group is very reactive once broken from ATP Nucleic Acids Energy storage - The addition of a phosphate group (called phosphorylation) to proteins, like certain enzymes or pumps, can “activate” them. - Breaking ATP turns into ADP. substance conducts electricity does not conduct electricity ionic (charged) electrons are transferred covalent molecule Na+, K+ (function as signal) electrons are shared mix with water (hydrophilic) does not mix with water (hydrophobic) slightly charged Uncharged, covalent non-polar covalent polar lipids (function to compartmentalise fluid environments) carbohydrates proteins (function as fuel source) (function to build structures) Glucose Preferred fuel for cell resp cellulose fiber carbs starch not humans present in plants monomer polymer glycogen: short term storage of fuel for energy production amino acid: last resort fuel for cell respiration monomer proteins (hormones, enzymes, carrier proteins) polymer BIOMOLE CULES fatty acid & glycerol fuel for cell resp monomer fat: long term storage of fuel for energy production lipids phospholipid: structural: membrane polymer steroid: functional globular hormones LE CTURE 4 Digestive System 101-127-AB 00001 Anatomy & Physiology for Paramedics I © Samuel Richer 2024 (adapted from Roxane Millette) Substance conducts electricity does not conduct electricity ionic (charged) electrons are transferred covalent molecules Na+, K+ (function as signal) electrons are shared mixes with water (hydrophilic) does not mix with water (hydrophobic) slightly charged Uncharged, covalent non-polar covalent polar lipids (function to compartmentalise fluid environments) carbohydrates proteins (function as fuel source) (function to build structures) Biomolecules Carbs Proteins Lipids mono mono mono saccharides amino acid fatty acid glucose galactose fructose di peptide di poly poly saccharides saccharides protein glycerol maltose poly lactose sucrose Cellulose starch glycogen Dietary Fiber triglyceride diglyceride/ steroid/ fat phospholipid cholesterol Glucose Preferred fuel for cell resp cellulose fiber Carbs starch not humans present in plants monomer polymer Glycogen: short term storage of fuel for energy production Amino Acid: last resort fuel for cell respiration monomer Polypeptide / Protein Proteins hormones, enzymes, carrier proteins polymer Biomolecules Fatty Acid & Glycerol fuel for cellular respiration monomer Fat: long term storage of fuel for energy production Lipids Phospholipid: structural: membrane polymer Steroid: functional globular hormones Cellular Respiration ATP From Digestive System All cells need energy!
