Molecules of Life http://www.bozemanscience.com/molecules-of-life Dave Thomas Founder of Wendy’s

1. Mr. Anderson is going to talk about the molecules of life.

2. Dave Thomas’ body was made up of the food of the food he created.

3. Proteins in the burger are broken down into ______amino acids_________ and those made the proteins in him.

4. sugars in the bun are broken down to make ATP that is used for energy to move things around his body.

5. fat in the burger is used to lipids in the cell membranes found inside Dave Thomas’ body.

6. Life is built on _carbon____________

7. Carbon has four electrons in its outer shell and is really good at bonding.

8. Carbon makes covalent bonds.

9. Carbon could be replaced with silicon in compounds.

Functional Groups Label each group

___________Carboxyl_________ ___amino carbonyl__

­­­­­­­__________Hydroxyl______________ ________phosphate_______________

10. Which two groups bonded together form an amino acid? ___________________Amino hydroxyl.______________________

11. The molecules of Life First, we have Polymers. Polymers are made of _monomers_________________.

12. Polymer proteins are built by dehydration reactions.

13. In a dehydration reaction, h2o is removed.

14. Each time two dehydration reaction are put together, you are going to lose a water.

15. If you are going to break apart proteins, such as when eating a burger, the reaction is called hydrolases.

16. Other polymers such as DNA can be broken down by dehydration and put together by hydrolases.

Four Major Macro Molecules Nucleic Acidstwo examples are DNA and ____RNA________

17. Nucleic Acids are polymers and their monomer units are called _________nucleotides______________
18. Where do we get our DNA? _______we eat are food

Proteins are made up of amino acids (monomers)

19. There are only ____20________ amino acids that make up our proteins.

20. The carboxyl or side chain is going to be different in every amino acid.

21. What is a protein? It is a huge three dimensional structure made up of hundreds sometimes even _______thousands___________ of
