  • carbon based
    Is it often said that life is?
  • carbon
    Bonding characteristics of --- result in the formation of a larger variety of compounds.
  • The four covalent bonding position of atom
    can give rise to a widediversity of compounds withmany functions, accountingfor the importance of carbon in living things.
  • The human body is composed of roughly 30 trillion cells that collectively perform the essential functions of life. The cells can perform these life-sustaining tasks with the help of several organic molecules present in them.
  • Biomolecule
    is a molecule that is present in all living organisms. Involved in the maintenance and metabolic process.
  • Carbon compound have major involvement in the formation of biomolecules. They covalently bind with other elements to form several other compounds.
  • Approximately 10.000 to 100,000 molecules are present in a cell toregulate bodily function.

  • But the four major types of biomolecules include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
    1. CHO2
    2. CHNOPS
    3. CH20
    4. DNA AND RNA
    What is the molecular formula of carbohydrates, protein, lipids, nucleic acid,
  • Carbohydrates
    most abundant and widespread organic substances in nature
  • Carbohydrates
    essential constituents of all livingthings
  • Carbohydrates
    formed by green plants from carbon dioxide and water during the process of photosynthesis
    1. Monosaccharide
    2. Disaccharide
    3. Polysaccharide
    Give the three classification of carbohydrates
  • From the prefix "mono" which means "one" the monosaccharide is the simplest sugar and the basic subunit of a carbohydrate.
  • Monosaccharide
    These compounds are white solids a troom temperature. Because they have polar. hydroxyl (OH) groups in their molecular ures are very soluble in water.

  • Examples of monosaccharides include glucose also called dextrose, fructose and galactose. The most common monosaccharides are glucose and fructose.
  • Monosaccharide
  • Glucose

  • Fructose
  • Galactose
  • Disaccharide

    Disaccharide
  • Disaccharide
    These are composed of two units of sugars Joined by O-glycosidic bonds.
  • Condensation reaction is a reaction In which two molecules or parts of the same molecule
  • Most organisms have the capability to combine simple sugar to form a molecule of a double sugar or disaccharide
  • Condensation reaction is a reaction in which two molecules or parts of the same molecule combine and involves the removal of a small molecule such as water. This reaction is also called as dehydration synthesis.
    1. Maltose
    2. Sucrose
    3. Lactose
    What are the three types of disaccharide?
  • Maltose
    Glucose + glucose
  • Sucrose
    Glucose + fructose
  • Lactose 
    Glucose + galactose
  • Polysaccharide
    Polysaccharide
  • Polysaccharide
    These consist of more than two sugar monomer units. They are also known as glycans
  • Polysaccharide
    Three important polysaccharides. starch, glycogen, and cellulose, are composed of glucose. Starch and glycogen serve as short-term energy stores in plants andanimals, respectively.

  • Starch has many industrial applications in addition to its importance in human nutrition.It is used in the manufacture of paper, textiles, pharmaceuticals. and biodegradable polymers, and as an additive in foods.
  • proteins are made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen. oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur
  • Protein
    unbranched polymers of amino acid residues
  • Protein
    there are about 22 amino acidsthat are involved in the synthesis of proteins according to their location and function
  • Amino Acids are classified into three
    categories: essential,
    non-essential, and
    conditional amino acids.
    1. Histidine
    2. Leucine
    3. Lysine
    Give three essential
    1. Argininw
    2. Glutamine
    3. Cysteine
    Give three conditional
    1. Alanine
    2. Asparagine
    3. Aspartic acid
    non essential (3)
