Most common elements in living things
• Carbon
• Hydrogen
• Nitrogen
• Oxygen
• Sulfur
• Phosphorous
Trace Element-
critical to health and makes up 0.01% of body mass.
Element
pure substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical/physical means
Protons
(+)- Location: Nucleus
Electrons
(-)- Location: Electron Cloud
Neutrons
neutral)-Location: Nucleus
Atomic number
- the number of protons
Atomic mass
the number of nucleons (protons and neutrons)
Isotopes
same number of protons different number of neutrons
Ionic bond
- an atom takes valence electrons from another. Ex. Li F. metal to non-metal
Covalent bond
- an atom shares valence electrons with other atoms. Ex. O2 (O=O). Nonmetal-nonmetal
Chemical Reaction
a process where an object is chemically converted to another object.
DRAW STRUCTURE OF WATER
see diagram
Polar Molecule
a molecule with charged ends
H-Bond
- a molecule with charged ends
Unique Properties
1. Cohesion- tendency of water molecules to stick to each other—>surface tension
2. Adhesion- attraction between water molecules and other molecules.
3. Temperature Moderation- because of H-Bonding water can resist large temperature changes.
• Oceans and large lakes play a big role in climate regulation.
• Evaporation
Low Density of Ice
solid (ice) is less dense then liquid. H-Bonds force max. Spacing between water molecules.
Water’s ability to dissolve solvent
substance doing the dissolving solute thing being dissolved.
Acids
low pH, sour, contribute to H+ solution. Ex. Lemon juice, vinegar (H+>OH-)
Bases
: high pH, slippery, contribute OH- & may remove H+. Ex. soap (OH->H+)
Buffers
substances that cause a solution to resist pH changes. They can either accept or donate H+ ions. (H2CO3 ← -> HCO3 + H+)
Functional Groups
1. Hydroxyl (OH) Hydrophilic-water loving (common in sugar), dissolves easily
2. Carbonyl (O) add polarity (allows for bonding and dissolving)
3. Carboxyl (C=O-OH) gives acidic properties (organic acids)
4. Amino (N-H-H) gives basic properties
Organic Molecule
carbon based molecules
Monomers to polymers
single monomers (glucose) that are put together to make polymers (starch)
Dehydration Reaction/Condensation Reactions
look on diagram
Hydrolysis Reactions
splitting water to break polymers into molymers
Carbohydrates Characteristics
made of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon
Carbohydrates Building Blocks
simple sugars
Carbohydrates Main Functions
energy sources, storage, and structural materials
Monosaccharide
one sugar unit (glucose, fructose)
Disaccharide
sugars with two monosaccharide (sucrose, lactose)
Polysaccharides
long polymer chains made up of simple sugar monomers (starch
CARBOHYDRATE ELEMENTS
C, H, O
Lipid Characteristics:
carbon, hydrogen
Lipid Building Blocks
glycerol and fatty acid chains
Lipid Main Functions
acts as a boundary that surrounds hydrophobic molecules from watery solution.
Phospholipids
: makes up cell membranes. Replace one F-A with a phosphate
Waxes
protection/hydrophobic
Steroids
lipids in which carbon skeletons form 4 fused rings
Saturated vs. unsaturated fats
saturated are packed tightly together. Ex. butter. Unsaturated are packed loosely. Ex. oils.
LIPID ELEMENTS
C, H, O
Protein Characteristics
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
Protein Building Blocks
amino acids
Amino Acid Stucture
see diagram
Peptide bonds
- bonds between amino acids Shape: Protein structure determines its function (lock key structure)
Denaturation
high temperature or extreme pH causes proteins to lose their shape.
Enzymes
• Made of proteins
• Build up or break down molecules
• Enzyme is uncharged by the reaction
