Biological Phenomena
•••••••••••••••••••••••••
Chapter Outline
• Properties of living systems
• Highly organized - Cells > organelles > macromolecular complexes >
macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides)
• Structure/function correlation: Biological structures serve functional purposes
• Energy transduction: ATP and NADPH –energized molecules
• Steady state maintained by energy flow: Steady state not equilibrium
• Self-replication with high, yet not perfect, fidelity
• Biomolecules
• Elements: Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen (lightest elements of the periodic
table capable of forming a variety of strong covalent bonds)
• Carbon -4 bonds, nitrogen -3 bonds, oxygen –2 bonds, hydrogen -1 bond
• Compounds: Carbon-based compounds –versatile
• Phosphorus- and sulfur-containing compounds play important roles
• Biomolecular hierarchy
• Simple compounds: H2O, CO2, NH4+, NO3–, N2
• Metabolites: Used to synthesize building block molecules
• Building blocks: Amino acids, nucleotides, monosaccharides, fatty acids, glycerol
• Macromolecules: Proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, lipids
• Supramolecular complexes: Ribosomes, chromosomes, cytoskeleton
• Membranes: Lipid bilayers with membrane proteins
• Define boundaries of cells and organelles
• Hydrophobic interactions maintain structures
• Organelles: Mitochondria, chloroplasts, nuclei, endoplasmic reticulum Golgi, etc.
• Cells: Fundamental units of life
• Living state: Growth, metabolism, stimulus response and replication
• Properties of biomolecules
• Directionality or structural polarity
• Proteins: N-terminus and C-terminus
• Nucleic acids: 5’- and 3’- ends
• Polysaccharides: Reducing and nonreducing ends
