The Chemistry of Life Topic 3

3.1 Chemical elements and water State that the most frequently occurring chemical in living things are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen State that a variety of other elements are needed by living organisms, including sulfur, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and sodium State one role for each of the elements mentioned in 3.1.2

3.1.4 Draw and label water molecules to show their polarity and hydrogen bond formation Outline the thermal, cohesive and solvent properties of water Explain the relationship between the properties of water and its uses in living organisms as a coolant, medium for metabolic reactions and transport medium.

Elements found in living organisms Most common: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen Used in the molecular structures of all carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids Additional important elements ElementRole in animals SulfurIn some amino acids CalciumComponent of bones PhosphorousPhosphate groups in ATP IronIn hemoglobin SodiumIn sending nerve impulses

Structure of water Virtually all cells have water within and water in the surrounding environment Polar covalent bond

Interesting facts A person could survive about a month without food, but only a week without water Basilisk lizards may be as long as 0.8 m, but they can run across the top of bodies of water. The relatively large surface area of their toes does not break through the surface tension of the water as long as they keep running.

Properties of water and living organisms Thermal properties –High specific heat (can absorb or give off a great deal of heat without changing temperature greatly) –High heat of vaporization (water absorbs a great deal of heat when it evaporates)

Cohesive properties –Positive end of one water molecule attracts the negative end of another –Explains: Droplet formation Surface tension Capillary action (movement in vascular tissue of plants)

Solvent properties –Excellent solvent of other polar molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids Aqueous solutionLocationCommon reactions CytoplasmFluid inside cell but outside organelles Glycolysis/protein synthesis NuceloplasmFluid inside nuclear membrane DNA replication/transcription StromaFluid inside chloroplast membrane Light-independent reactions of photosynthesis Blood plasmaFluid in arteries, veins and capillaries Loading and unloading of respiratory gases/clotting

3.2 Carbohydrates, lipids and proteins Distinguish between organic and inorganic compounds Identify amino acids, glucose, ribose and fatty acids from diagrams showing their structure List three examples each of monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides.

3.2.4 State one function of glucose, lactose and glycogen in animals, and of fructose, sucrose and cellulose in plants Outline the role of condensation and hydrolysis in the relationships between monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides; between fatty acids, glycerol and triglycerides; and between amino acids and polypeptides State three functions of lipids Compare the use of carbohydrates and lipids in energy storage.

Organic vs. Inorganic Organic – substances that contain both carbon and hydrogen atoms –ex. Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids Inorganic – everything else –ex. Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, salts

Common biochemically important molecules MoleculeSubcomponentsExample molecules CarbohydratesMonosaccharides Disaccharides Polysaccharides Glucose, galactose, fructose Maltose, lactose, sucrose Starch, glycogen, cellulose LipidsGlycerol and fatty acids Triglycerides, phospholipds Proteins (polypeptides) Amino acidsEnzymes, antibodies Nucleic acidsNucleotidesDNA, RNA

Glucose 6-carbon monosaccharide Plants store glucose as the polysaccharide starch Animals store glucose as the polysaccharide glycogen

Ribose Sugar found in RNA

Amino acid Generalized structure Each of the 20 amino acids contains a different R group

Fatty acid Specific fatty acids differ from each other by the total number of carbons and by the presence and location of any double bonds between carbons

Functions of carbohydrates in animals NameTypeOne function GlucoseMonosaccharideChemical fuel for cell respiration LactoseDisaccharideMakes up some of the solutes in milk GlycogenPolysaccharideStores glucose in liver and muscles

Functions of carbohydrates in plants NameTypeOne function FructoseMonosaccharideFound in many fruits (makes them sweet) SucroseDisaccharideOften transported from leaves of plants to other locations in plants by vascular tissue CellulosePolysaccharideOne of the primary components of plant cell walls

Condensation and hydrolysis reactions Organisms rely on the foods they eat to gain the building block molecules which make up their own larger molecules Food is digested (hydrolyzed) –Covalent bonds are broken by enzymes After building blocks are transported to body cells, they are bonded together (condensed) to form larger molecules once again

Hydrolysis reactions ALWAYS involves the splitting of water as part of reaction Accomplished by a hydrolyzing enzyme Disaccharide to two monosaccharides Lactose + water → glucose + galactose Polysaccharide to many monosaccharides Starch + (many) water → (many) glucose Triglyceride lipid to glycerol and fatty acids Triglyceride + 3 water → glycerol + 3 fatty acids Polypeptide (protein) to amino acids Protein + (many) water → (many) amino acids

Hydrolysis reaction of the disaccharide lactose to form galactose and glucose

Condensation reactions Simply reverse the reaction arrow of the hydrolysis reactions Requires a different type of enzyme –Covalent bonds are created (catalyzed) rather than broken (catabolized) Water is formed

Condensation of the monosaccharides galactose and glucose to form lactose

Triglyceride

Human Adipose Tissue Role of lipids Fats: Triglycerides in solid form Oils: Triglycerides in liquid form Excess fat consumed and not burned is stored in adipose cells 1.Lipids store twice as much chemical energy as carbohydrates (40 kj/g vs kj/g) 2.Provide thermal insulation –30% or more of the body mass of some seals may be due to the blubber layer beneath their skin 3.Makes up double layer of all cell membranes
