Atomic number # of protons Mass # # of protons + # of neutrons Atomic mass
Carbon Atomic # # of protons # of electrons Mass # # of protons + # of neutrons Most common form of carbon Carbon – 14 14 = mass # # of protons # of electrons # of neutrons Isotope : same # of protons, but different # of neutrons from most common form
Boron – 11 # of protons # of electrons # of neutrons Isotope? Boron – 10 # of protons # of electrons # of neutrons Isotope?
Determine the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in each of the following Fluorine-20 Helium-4 Which of those compounds is an isotope?
Makes up a lot of living things Many useful/helpful properties Polarity Lopped side appearance One side slightly positive Creates solutions Because of charge can dissolve Other polar and ionic (fully charged) 2 or 3 types of compounds Examples Can break apart other substances Creates suspensions Examples es/Newsletters/39/Water_related_activities.htm
Can hold lots of heat Takes more energy to heat up Releases energy back more slowly Examples Is more dense as a liquid
Very strong between molecules Each water can have 4 H- bonds Causes Cohesion Adhesion Capillary action Surface tension Surface tension ter_strider.htm transpiration/
Water breaks down to H + and OH - pH = how much H + pH of 7 means H + and OH - are equal Acids pH lower than 7 Lower # = stronger Examples Bases pH higher than 7 Higher # = stronger Examples Buffers Help with homeostasis
Define: Cohesion Adhesion pH Describe 4 reasons why water is a versatile molecule that is important to living beings Stomach acid has a pH of 2 and ocean water has a pH of 8 Which one is acidic? Which one is closer to being neutral?
Atom Molecule Atoms are generally neutral Ions Atom with a charge Sodium 11 protons + 11 electrons = neutral Gains or loses electrons 11 protons + 10 electrons = +1 Caffeine
Make molecules An attraction, not a physical thing Hydrogen Ionic Involves ions Gaining/losing electrons Very strong Covalent Sharing electrons Not as strong More common
C, H, N, O, P, S Organic Contains C and H Covalent bonds Usually large molecules In living things Inorganic No C (unless simple, like CO or CO 2 ) Examples – water, O 2, N 2
Definition Polymer Made of monomers Each bond created releases water Breaking a bond releases water
Basics 1C:2H:1O Main source of energy Structural Monosaccharides Simple sugar Glucose Galactose Fructose Disaccharides 2 sugars Sucrose = glucose + fructose Lactose = glucose + galactose
Polysaccharides Starch Storage in plants Glucose units Glycogen Storage in animals Released from liver Glucose units Cellulose Glucose units Structure in plants Wood
Fill in the chart with the missing vocabulary terms Define: Ions Chemical bond Macromolecule Polymer Give examples of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides Carbohydrates Composed on one subunit Composed of 2 subunits Composed of more than 2 subunits
Fats, waxes, oils, steroids, hormones Insoluble in water Glycerol + fatty acid(s) Functions Cell structure More efficient energy storage (9 vs. 4 calories) Communication Steroids Ring of carbons Hormones Cholesterol
Saturated All single carbon bonds Solid Examples Unsaturated Carbon to carbon double bond(s) Liquid Examples Good vs. bad
Name what each is made of and a use for each: Carbohydrate Lipid What is the difference between a saturated and unsaturated fat?
Contain C, H, N, O Made of amino acids Very specific order or amino acids Complex 3d shape Chain of amino acids = polypeptide chain Folds and crumples May have multiple subunits Function Structural Nutrient storage Transportation Identification of cells (defense) Enzymes macromolecules/proteins.php
Change shape easily Denature Caused by changes in Temperature pH Salt concentration Molecules present May permanently disable the protein or cause it to malfunction Frying an egg
Atoms don’t change Atoms rearranged Chemical bonds broken and formed Usually requires energy - activation energy Getting energy slows down the reaction
Proteins Catalyst Not changed Lowers activation energy Speeds up reaction Lock and key Substrate Active site Will not work if denatured Used in most biological processes
Proteins are complex. Describe how they form their complex structure. In a chemical reaction, what exactly happens to the atoms? What are 4 functions of a protein? What does it mean to denature a protein and what cause to happen to that protein? How are enzymes helpful to living organisms?
Contains C, H, N, O, P Made from nucleotides 5-carbon sugar Phosphate group Nitrogenous base (5 different) Purpose – genetic information DNA, RNA
Outermost electrons Participate in bonds Fill levels in a pattern 2 in first 8 in second 18 in third Lewis structure Shows just valence electrons
