Form & Function at the Atomic Level
2
Which elements are most common in the bodies of living things?
Entry Task: Which elements are most common in the bodies of living things?
4
Which questions were difficult for you to answer?
Homework Check: Ch 4 Notes Concept Check Q’s Which questions were difficult for you to answer? Expectation: Check answers to questions on your own time. See Ms. Barga or a classmate with questions you still do not understand
5
Form Elements common in living things
6
Number of Bonds formed with other atoms
One Two Three Four Atoms form connections or BONDS using only electrons in the outer or VALENCE energy level so that the outer level is full and all electrons are paired. Most atoms have 8 electrons in the outer energy level: Therefore, Hydrogen forms 1 bond, Carbon 4, Nitrogen3, Oxygen 2, P 3 & S 2
7
Form & Function at the Atomic Level
More Next Week!!! Yay Biomolecules! …And you thought Chemistry was over ;)
8
Unique Properties of Water
Why Life Exists
9
Form of Water
10
Function of Water High Cohesion – molecules of water stick together
High Adhesion – water molecules stick to other molecules Effect on Life: Allows water to rise through Xylem tissue to the top of very tall plants
11
Celery Experiment
12
Function of Water High Cohesion: is caused by Hydrogen Bonds between molecules of Water Water absorbs more heat before increasing temp. Water releases that heat as it decreases temp. Effect on Life: Keeps Earth’s temperature in the small range that is friendly for life
13
Function of Water Solid water molecules spread farther apart
Ice is less dense than liquid Ice floats on water Effect on Life Prevents lake freezing in winter Protects lake life through winter
14
Function of Water High density of COLD water
Cold water sinks to bottom Effect on Life: As ice melts in spring, causes “upwelling” of nutrients Drives annual cycling of nutrients in water
15
Homework: Ch 4 Review Q’s 1-7 & 20-22 & 25 Read Ch 5 pages 90-102
Reading Notes Concept Check Questions
16
