Proteins and Fats
All proteins, regardless of the source, animal, plant, fungal or bacterial, are all made from the same 20 amino acids.
Proteins and Fats
All proteins, regardless of the source, animal, plant, fungal or bacterial, are all made from the same 20 amino acids.
Amino acids contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and NITROGEN
Proteins and Fats
How can 20 amino acids make all the proteins found in living organisms?
Different combinations and lengths(Letters of the alphabet)
Proteins and Fats
Each amino acid is like a letter in the alphabet, the change of one amino acid can change the shape of the protein.
Proteins and Fats
Proteins have a specific three dimensional shape which is important in their biological role.
Proteins and Fats
The shape of a protein is influenced by temperature and pH.
Out side of a specific range the protein breaks down, its DENATURED.
Proteins and Fats
Fats serve two functions in an organism: Storage of excess energy
reserves Insulation whale
blubber
Proteins and Fats
Fats serve three functions in an organism: Storage of excess energy
reserves Insulation whale
blubber Protection
Proteins and Fats
All lipids, regardless of the source, animal, plant, fungal or bacterial, are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
They are nonpolar (do not dissolve in water)
Proteins and Fats
All lipids, regardless of the source, animal, plant, fungal or bacterial, are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
They are made of two molecules: glycerol
Proteins and Fats
All lipids, regardless of the source, animal, plant, fungal or bacterial, are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
They are made of two molecules: glycerol & fatty acids
Proteins and Fats
Fatty Acid Structure
They can exist as two types, saturated and unsaturated.
They can range from 12 to 22 carbons in length.
Proteins and Fats
Triglycerides are the most common fats and are composed of 1 glycerol and three fatty acid molecules.
Proteins and Fats
Triglycerides are the most common fats and are composed of 1 glycerol and three fatty acid molecules.
Guess what reaction combines them.
