Chemical Basis for Life Chapter 2

Why do we need Chemistry in A and P? Your human body is a highly organized and ever changing collection of chemicals. There is also a very specific amount of each of these chemicals in your body. What do you think might happen if any of these chemicals are out of balance?

 Any change in any of the chemicals in your body can have drastic affects on your health and could even cause death.  For example: if you have too little iron in your body this can lead to a disease known as anemia.  On the flip side, if you have too much iron you have hemochromatosis- which can eventually destroy your heart pancreas and liver.

 Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass.  Matter is made of atoms, which are the smallest particles of an element that still have all the properties of an element.

 States of Matter ◦ Solid ◦ Liquid ◦ Gas

 All matter is composed of substances called ELEMENTS.  Elements are what you find on the periodic table. Can anyone name any Elements?

What do you think are some of the major elements found in the human body?

 Living organisms require about 20 elements (There are 92 elements in nature and 19 made)  Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen make up more than 95% of the human body.  The other elements include: calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, chlorine, sodium, magnesium and many other trace elements (meaning they have a very small amount: iron, zinc, copper, etc)

 Smallest amount of an element  Made up of 3 subatomic particles ◦ Neutrons (o) = neutral/no charge ◦ Protons (+) = positive charge ◦ Electrons (-) = negative charge

 Protons and Neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom.  Electrons are in motion in the space around the nucleus. # E- = # P+ Why is this important and what does it have to do with anatomy?

The positive charge from the Proton and the Negative charge from the electron balance out the charge of the atom. These charges are what eventually aid in forming combinations of atoms- or chemical compounds …for example: water is made from Hydrogen and Oxygen. At your table discuss what you think would happen to the charge of the atom if it were to loose an electron.

 Proton (+) = the guy  Electron (-) = the girl  Neutron (o) = the wing man  The electron is attracted to it’s opposite charge (the proton +) so it remains in orbit around the nucleus, but it plays “hard to get” by maintaining a velocity that is fast enough that it’s never pulled into the nucleus. The neutron is there to support the nucleus but it never gets involved.

 STOP POINT!  Atomic structure hand out

Nucleus What would the electron distribution for Calcium with an atomic number of 20 be? How does this reflect to the Matterville analogy?

Nucleus What would the electron distribution for Neon with an atomic number of 10 be?

Chemical compounds are formed by chemical bonds. Atoms either lose electrons, gain electrons or share their electrons in order to form a bond with other atoms in your body. Atoms that lose or gain and electron are called ions (it is now chemically charged…the charges don’t balance)

Example: Na+Cl- *Na loses an electron *Cl gains an electron (they exchange electrons) The opposite charges attract and form a bond called an ionic bond 2 ask 1 why do you think Na has a tendency to lose an e- where Cl have a tendency to gain an e-?

Covalent bonds form when atoms share their electrons instead of exchanging them. Example: Carbon molecule:

H and O form a covalent bond that creates the molecule water. This molecule has + and – poles! These charges cause the water molecules to bind loosely to each other. This loose binding is known as a Hydrogen bond ( Hydrogen bond because Hydrogen is involved) (cross out #1 in notes)

Hydrogen bonds are weak bonds. What do you think that means? They can break apart easily. How would this be helpful in the body? Many systems require water so the molecules need to be able to break apart easily for easy transport. Cross out C and write this.

 STOP POINT!  IN SMALL GROUPS provide a visual demonstration/skit of your assigned Chemical Bond. This will count toward class participation points.  Hydrogen bonds, Ionic Bonds, Covalent bonds.

 Chemical Reaction – a process that changes one set of chemicals into another. ◦ Involves the breaking and forming of new bonds. Quantity remains the same =  2 If this represented a chemical reaction, then 1=reactants and 2 = product The reactants “react” to form the product.

Synthesis/Anabolic Reaction: when two or more atoms bond to form a more complex structure. Example: fixing worn or damaged tissues requires a build up of smaller molecules coming together to make a larger molecule. A + B AB

Decomposition/catabolic reaction: When a bond holding atoms together breaks and produces a simpler molecule. Example: Is needed for foods to be digested and energy to be released for your body to use. AB A + B

 All reactions need energy to occur.  Activation Energy  Activation Energy – refers to the energy needed to get the reaction started For example, you must apply force when striking a match to get the fire to start.  Rollercoaster example

Notice the different energy levels between the reactants and products. Example: photosynthesis – reactants of water and CO2 and energy from the sun (activation energy) creates products of Glucose and O2.

Notice the different energy levels between the reactants and products. Example: combustion reactions of fuels. 1 ask 2 “do you think Exothermic reactions are anabolic or catabolic and why?”

Catalysts  Catalyst - a substance that lowers a reactions activation energy ◦ In other words, speeds up the reaction. Enzymes  Biological Catalysts are called Enzymes.  They speed up chemical reactions in the cells. However they are not essential, for the reactions can occur on their own

Enzymes The names of enzymes typically end in “-ase” For example: protease splits proteins into its monomers - amino acids. What do you think carbohydrase does? Splits carbohydrates (polysaccarides) into its monomers - monosaccarides. Also used for: protein synthesis, synthesis of RNA and DNA, etc.

 STOP POINT!  Chemical Reactions Review worksheet.

Inorganic and Organic Compounds The atoms and molecules that form compounds can either be inorganic or organic. What is the difference? Inorganic Inorganic are substances that can dissolve in water or react with water to release electrolytes. Why might these be necessary for your body? Organic Organic are substances that contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and do not dissolve in water. Why might these be important?

 The main compounds are those that react with water and can release electrolytes.  Examples: Na+, K+, Cl- (any minerals)  Functions: They aid in muscle and neuron functions, acid breakdown and hydration.

 More specific Functions:  Potassium works with Sodium and Chloride to maintain pH levels and fluid distribution.  Calcium is required for the maintenance and growth of bones and teeth  Sodium also helps to control muscle and nerve functions  Magnesium helps the body absorb the Calcium it needs and helps protect the lining of your heart!

 Inorganic compounds can not be made by the body- they come from the earth and must be “taken in”…or eaten  What foods do you think may be inorganic compounds or minerals your body needs?  Vegetables or any plant, milk, some fish or seafood  What can happen if you do not have enough minerals or inorganic compounds in your system?

 Nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, headaches and abdominal pains can occur from either too much mineral content or not enough.
