CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS MUST CONTAIN THE ELEMENT CARBON MOST CONTAIN THE ELEMENT HYDROGEN MANY CONTAIN OXYGEN AND NITROGEN INORGANIC COMPOUNDS IF A SUBSTANCE IS NOT ORGANIC, THEN…

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, AWESOME, AMAZING INORGANIC COMPOUND THAT MATTERS THE MOSTEST?

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE WATER – THE IMPORTANT INORGANIC COMPOUND THE MAJORITY OF BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES CAN OCCUR ONLY IN WATER!! UNDERSTANDING THE PROPERTIES OF WATER BECOMES ESSENTIAL TO UNDERSTANDING THE PROPERTIES OF LIFE

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE WATER IS A POLAR MOLECULE REGIONS WITH PARTIAL POSITIVE AND PARTIAL NEGATIVE CHARGES BECAUSE OF THIS POLARITY, WATER HAS SOME UNIQUE PROPERTIES

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE WATER PROPERTIES INCLUDE COHESION SURFACE TENSION ADHESION CAPILLARITY (CAPILLARY ACTION)

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE STRUCTURE AND TYPES OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS CARBON OFFERS INCREDIBLE FLEXIBILITY IN THE FORMATION OF COMPOUNDS THERE ARE 4 MAJOR GROUPS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE FOUR MAJOR GROUPS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS CARBOHYDRATES LIPIDS PROTEINS NUCLEIC ACIDS

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE CARBOHYDRATES COMPOUNDS OF CARBON, HYDROGEN, AND OXYGEN ALWAYS HAVE THE SAME RATIO OF HYDROGEN TO OXYGEN (2:1) MONOSACCHARIDES (SIMPLE SUGARS) CHEMICAL NAMES OF SUGARS ALMOST ALWAYS END IN “-OSE”

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS THE PROCESS BY WHICH MOLECULES CAN BE BONDED TOGETHER OCCURS THROUGH THE REMOVAL OF A WATER MOLECULE AND FUSING THE RESULTING SUBSTANCES TOGETHER

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS WHEN JOINING TWO MONOSACCHARIDES TOGETHER, THE RESULTING MOLECULE IS CALLED A DISACCHARIDE

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS WHEN MULTIPLE SIMPLE SUGARS ARE JOINED TOGETHER THE RESULTING MOLECULE IS CALLED A POLYSACCHARIDE

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE IF MOLECULES CAN BE FUSED TOGETHER, THEY MUST ALSO BE ABLE TO BE BROKEN APART THIS PROCESS IS CALLED HYDROLYSIS

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE LIPIDS

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE LIPIDS CONSIST OF THE SUBSTANCES COMMONLY CALLED FATS, OILS, AND WAXES CONSIST OF CARBON, HYDROGEN, AND OXYGEN…HOWEVER, NOT IN THE SAME RATIO AS CARBOHYDRATES FORMED THROUGH THE FUSION OF GLYCEROL AND FATTY ACID MOLECULES

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE LIPIDS

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE LIPIDS SATURATED VS UNSATURATED FATS

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE LIPIDS CHOLESTEROL A SPECIAL TYPE OF LIPID

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE NUCLEIC ACIDS DNA VS RNA SUBUNITS ARE CALLED NUCLEOTIDES WILL DISCUSS THIS MORE IN FUTURE CHAPTERS

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE PROTEINS COMPOUNDS THAT CONTAIN NITROGEN, ALONG WITH CARBON, HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF PROTEINS ARE CALLED AMINO ACIDS (A.K.A. PEPTIDES)

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE PEPTIDES CAN BE FUSED TOGETHER BY… DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS RESULTS IN DIPEPTIDES RESULTS IN PEPTIDE BONDS

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE SINCE THERE ARE 20 AMINO ACIDS, AND THEY CAN BE PUT TOGETHER IN ANY COMBINATION WHEN FORMING POLYPEPTIDES, THE NUMBER OF POSSIBLE PROTEINS IS HUGE!! THEREFORE, THEY SERVE ENDLESS FUNCTIONS!!

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS OF PROTEINS IS WHEN THEY ACT AS ENZYMES!!!!!! ALL ENZYMES ARE PROTEINS, BUT NOT ALL PROTEINS ARE ENZYMES.

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE ENZYMES PROTEINS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR MOST OF THE CHEMICAL REACTIONS THAT OCCUR IN LIVING CELLS ACT AT ORGANIC CATALYSTS A CATALYST IS A SUBSTANCE THAT SPEEDS UP A CHEMICAL REACTION WITHOUT BEING CHANGED ITSELF

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE ENZYMES THE SUBSTANCE THAT THE ENZYME REACTS WITH IS CALLED THE SUBSTRATE WHAT DO YOU NOTICE ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ENZYME AND SUBSTRATE?

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE HOW ENZYMES WORK? ACTIVE SITE SPOT ON ENZYME WHERE SUBSTRATE BINDS TWO THEORIES ON ENZYME ACTION LOCK-AND-KEY MODEL INDUCED FIT MODEL

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE LOCK-AND-KEY MODEL SUBSTRATE’S SHAPE MATCHES EXACTLY WITH ACTIVE SITE OF ENZYME THEREFORE, ONLY ONE SUBSTRATE CAN EVER REACT WITH AN ENZYME THEY ARE HIGHLY SPECIFIC!!

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE INDUCED-FIT MODEL

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE ENZYMES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR LIVING THINGS BECAUSE THEY MAKE METABOLIC PROCESSES POSSIBLE SO, WE SHOULD KNOW MORE ABOUT ENZYMES!!

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE FACTORS THAT AFFECT ENZYME ACTION CONCENTRATION OF EITHER SUBSTRATE OR ENZYME TEMPERATURE PH PRESENCE OF COENZYMES

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE FACTORS THAT AFFECT ENZYME ACTIVITY

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE REMEMBER, ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF LIFE!!

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE THERE MAY BE MILLIONS OF BUILDING BLOCKS

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF LIFE BUT ONLY PUTTING THE RIGHT ONES TOGETHER IN THE RIGHT WAY, WILL BUILD A LIVING THING!! UP NEXT, LEARNING ABOUT WHAT THOSE BUILDING BLOCKS HELP MAKE!!
