What I Need to Know
A living system grows, sustains and reproduces itself. The most amazing thing about a
living system is that it is composed of non-living atoms and molecules. The pursuit of knowledge
of what goes on chemically within a living system falls in the domain of biochemistry. Living
systems are made up of various complex biomolecules like carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids,
lipids, etc. Proteins and carbohydrates are essential constituents of our food. These biomolecules
interact with each other and constitute the molecular logic of life processes. In addition, some
simple molecules like vitamins and mineral salts also play an important role in the functions of
organisms. Structures and functions of some of these biomolecules are discussed in this module.

In this module, you will learn more about compounds which are essential to life. These
compounds belong to four main classes of biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and
nucleic acids. Carbohydrates and lipids are generally made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Proteins and nucleic acids and some derivatives of carbohydrates and lipids also contain nitrogen.
This module has one (1) lesson:
• Lesson 1: Biomolecules: The Chemistry of Life

Learning competency:
• describe the structure of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, and
relate them to their function. STEM_GC11OCIIg-j-95
• describe the preparation of selected organic compounds STEM_GC11OCIIg-j-9

What’s in
In grade 9, you have learned why carbon is so unique that it can form bonds with
hydrogen or oxygen and form long chains of compounds compared to other elements. In this
module, you will understand the structure of biomolecules which are made up mainly of carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen as well as proteins and nucleic acids and some derivatives of carbohydrates
and lipids which also contain nitrogen. You will also learn why these biomolecules are important
to all living things and what differentiates them from each other. This module contains activities
that will enhance understanding about the major groups of biomolecules.
Thus, the end of this module, you will be able to answer the following key
question:
• What differentiates the biomolecules from each other?
• Which are recommended to include in our diet?

What is It
In Activity 1, you have answered which group of foods is predominantly carbohydrates,
lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Consequently, this lesson will be on biomolecules:
carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids which are all found in the food pyramid. These
biomolecules are considered as organic molecules.
What are organic molecules?
Organic molecules are the molecules which exist in all living things. They are life’s building blocks.
All things are formed from these organic molecules.
What are carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are
also known as saccharides. They have the general formula Cx (H2O)y. Carbohydrates function as
the energy source of the body. A simple general classification of carbohydrates is according to the
number of sugar units (saccharides) present in the molecule: monosaccharides, disaccharides,
and polysaccharides.
Carbohydrates

Monosaccharide Disaccharide Polysaccharide

• One sugar per unit molecule ● Two sugar units per molecule ● Many sugar units molecule
• Ex: glucose, fructose ● Ex: sucrose, lactose ●Ex: cellulose, starch

occurring

Figure 4: Monosaccharide: their formula, structure and sources

When two monosaccharides join together through a condensation reaction, a disaccharide

is produced along with a molecule of water. For instance, when two glucose units react via
condensation reaction, the disaccharide, maltose, is formed.

Figure 5: Disaccharide: their formula, structure and sources.

Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides. Examples of polysaccharides are starch,
glycogen, and cellulose which are all polymers of glucose. Their general properties are given in
the table below.
So, what do you notice about the names of carbohydrates? The answer, they end with –ose.
Starch is found in plants and used as source of energy. Starch consists of two types of glucose
polymers: amylose and amylopectin which differ from each other in structure. Amylose which
consists of about 20% of all starch polymers has the simpler structure.

Figure 6 : From A Closer Look at Carbohydrates, An Introduction to

[Link] from[Link]

The structure shown may be represented more simply by

Glu – (OGlu)n – OH
where n is very large (about 1000 glucose units linked together by oxygen bridges). The long chains
of starch are tightly wound in a coil. When amylose reacts with water through hydrolysis, these
oxygen bridges break releasing glucose units.

Most of starch is made up of amylopectin, the molecules of

which are even larger than amylose. Unlike the more linear
amylose, the amylopectin molecule consists of amylose
molecules that are linked by oxygen bridges from the end of one
amylose unit to a site in another amylose chain.
Starch is not found in animals. Instead, animals use glycogen
for energy storage. Glycogen has shorter chains than starch
and is more highly branched. Because of the shorter chains
and branching, glycogen is more readily hydrolyzed than starch
like amylose, cellulose is a straight chain polymer consisting of glucose units. However. In
cellulose. The glyosidic links between the glucose units in cellulose alternate in direction. This
produces a long, straight and rigid molecule. There is no branching in cellulose. Cellulose the
major structural material which plants are made of. Wood is largely cellulose. Humans cannot
digest cellulose but animals can.

What are proteins?

Proteins are natural polymers. They are very large molecules that are critical for the functions
of the human body. They are made from the linkage of monomers called amino acids. Amino acids
have the following structure:

Notice that amino acids have two functional groups. What are they?
a. Carboxylic group (—COOH)
b. Amine group (—NH2)

There are 20 kinds of amino acids depending on the —R group. The simplest amino acid is
glycine where R is a hydrogen atom. The body cannot make all the amino acids required by the
body and is dependent on protein taken through food.

Two amino acids can link together through a condensation reaction

with the removal of a water molecule. The linkage is called a peptide
bond. Take the case of two amino acids reacting to form a dipeptide.

When many amino acids are linked together through peptide bonds,
the resulting molecule is called a polypeptide. A very large number of amino acids linked together
results in a protein. Some proteins are made up of only one polypeptide while most proteins
involve assemblies of two or more polypeptides. The term polypeptide is usually used for
shorter, unstructured chains while proteins fold into fixed structures.

It is therefore possible to think of a protein as a strong of

beads strung together where each bead is an amino acid.
Different Levels of Protein Structure
The sequence and the structure of proteins are important in determining their functions.
There are four levels of protein structures: the primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary
structure, and quaternary structure.

The primary structure refers to the linear sequence of

amino acids joined by peptide bonds such as the sequence of
amino acids below.

Gly Ile Val Glu Gln Cys Gly Cys Ala Ser Val Cys Ser Leu

The single bonds in the polypeptide chain allow rotation.

Therefore, the polypeptide chain can twist and fold in a variety
of ways. These folded structures are referred to as secondary
protein structures. The two essential secondary structures are
the alpha helix and the beta pleated sheets. The structures are
stabilized by hydrogen bonds between amino acids. In the
alpha-helix structure, the chain twists like a corkscrew while
the chain takes the form of a folded sheet in the beta pleated structure. Several secondary
structures come together forming tertiary structures. When several tertiary structures come
together, a quaternary protein structure is formed. For example, the protein hemoglobin is a
quaternary structure formed by four tertiary structures.

Primary Protein structure

- Sequence of a chain of amino acid
Secondary Protein structure
- Hydrogen bonding of the peptide
backbone causes the amino acids to fold
into a repeating pattern
Tertiary Protein structure
- Three dimensional folding pattern of a
protein due to a side chain interactions
Quaternary Protein structure
- Protein consisting of more than one
amino acid chain

Protein Functions
Proteins are important molecules in cell. Each
protein in the body has a specific function. Some
of the types of proteins and their functions are:
a. Antibodies - proteins involved in defending the body against antigens. They are the molecules
of the immune system.
b. Contractile proteins – responsible for body movement such as muscle contraction
c. Enzymes – proteins that catalyze (speed up) or facilitate biochemical reactions
d. Hormonal proteins – serve as messenger proteins to help coordinate some body functions. An
example is insulin (which controls blood sugar concentration).
e. Structural proteins – are fibrous and provide support. An example is collagen which provides
support to connective tissues.
f. Storage proteins – store amino acids like casein in milk.
g. Transport proteins – are carrier proteins which move molecules from one place to another in
the body. An example is hemoglobin which transports oxygen.
Protein Denaturation
Denaturation is a process in which a protein loses its secondary, tertiary, or quaternary
structures. This may be caused by physical or chemical agents like strong acid, base, inorganic
salt, heat, or solvent which disrupt the bonds that hold the protein structures together.
Denaturation does not cause the cleavage of the peptide bond (the primary structure). Note that
a protein will lose its biological activity if it loses its 3-dimensional shape.
Examples of Protein Denaturation
DENATURING AGENT EXAMPLES
Heat Cooking food (boiling egg, frying an egg)
Acids and Bases Acid denatures milk proteins in the preparation of
cheese
Heavy metal ions like Ag+,
Pb2+, Hg2+ Mercury and lead poisoning

Organic compounds Chemicals used in hairstyling or hair straightening or

hair curling
Mechanical agitation Preparation of whipped cream or meringue from egg
whites
What are Nucleic Acids?
Nucleic acids are natural polymers with very large molar masses. The two main types of
nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA and RNA are
polymers made up of monomers in the form of nucleotides. When these nucleotides combine, they
form polynucleotides. DNA carries the genetic information passed on from parents to children.
RNA plays an important role in protein synthesis.
Each nucleotide is made up of three parts:
1. A nitrogen base 2. A five-carbon sugar
a. Purines - adenine (A), and guanine (G) a. Deoxyribose
b. Pyrimidines - cytosine (C) , thymine (T), b. Ribose
uracil (U) c. Phosphate
DNA RNA
Function Repository of genetic Involved in protein synthesis
information
Structure Double helix Usually single-strands
Sugar used deoxyribose Ribose
Bases used C,T,A,G C, U, A, G

What are Lipids?

Lipids are a class of naturally occurring organic compounds distinguished by their
solubility in an organic solvent (and not in water). Lipids are hydrophobic, nonpolar, and
made up mostly of hydrocarbon chains. Some of the more important lipids are: triglycerides
(fats), saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids. Some of
these are further discussed below.
1. Fatty Acids
a. Fatty acids consist of a long hydrocarbon chain (typically about 12 – 18 carbons)
attached to a carboxyl group.
a. Saturated fatty acid – contains only single C-C bonds because the carbon atoms
are saturated or filled up with hydrogens. Because their structure is straight, they
can pack well and are solid at room temperature (e.g. fat in butter).
i. Unsaturated fatty acids – contain carbon-carbon double bonds. When there is only
one C-C double bond, it is called monounsaturated; if there are several C-C double
bonds, they are called polyunsaturated. Remember that when there are double
bonds, there will be geometric isomers (cis and trans). Because of the double bonds,
they do not pack as tightly as saturated fatty acids. They are usually liquids at room
temperature. An example of an unsaturated fatty acid is olive oil.

b. Fats and Oils

Fat molecules have two parts: a glycerol backbone and three fatty acid chains. The
resulting molecule is called a triglyceride.

Glycerol 3 fatty acids Triglyceride

How selected organic compounds are prepared?
• The Miller-Urey experiment demonstrated the
abiotic synthesis of organic compounds.
• Water (H2O), methane (CH4),
ammonia (NH3), and hydrogen (H2) were all sealed
inside a sterile array of glass tubes and flasks
connected in a loop, with one flask half-full of
liquid water and another flask containing a pair of
electrodes.
• The liquid water was heated to induce
evaporation, sparks were fired between the
electrodes to simulate lightning through
the atmosphere and water vapor, and then the
atmosphere was cooled again so that the water
could condense and trickle back into the first flask
in a continuous cycle.
• Within a day, the mixture had turned pink in
color, and at the end of two weeks of continuous
operation, Miller and Urey observed that as much
as 10–15% of the carbon within the system was
now in the form of organic compounds.
• Two percent of the carbon had formed amino
acids that are used to make proteins in living cells,
with glycine as the most abundant. Nucleic acids
were not formed within the reaction. But the
common 20 amino acids were formed, in various
concentrations
