3 Chemistry of water In biology, the structure relates to function.
This is true at a variety of organizational levels, including molecules such as water. The shape of water ( H2O ) molecule and its polarity result in the formation of hydrogen bonds. A hydrogen bond is caused by the attraction of slightly positive hydrogen to a slightly negative atom in the vicinity.

5 H-bonds are not unique to water.
Other biological molecules, such as DNA, have polar covalent bonds involving an electropositive hydrogen and usually an electronegative oxygen or nitrogen. In these instances, a hydrogen bond can occur within the same molecule or between nearby molecules. Although a single hydrogen is more easily broken than a single covalent bond, multiple hydrogen bonds are collectively quite strong. Protein DNA

6 Properties of water The 1st cell (s) evolved in water.
All living things are 70-90% water. Due to hydrogen bonding water molecules cling together Because of hydrogen bonding:- - water is a liquid at temperatures typically found on the Earth's surface. - It freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C.

7 Water: 1. Has a high heat capacity 2. Has a High Heat of Evaporation 3. Is a solvent 4. Molecules are cohesive and adhesive 5. Frozen water (ice) is less dense than liquid water

8 Figure 2. 10 Temperature and water
Figure 2.10 Temperature and water. Water can be solid, a liquid, or a gas at naturally occurring environmental temperatures. At R.T. and pressure, water is a liquid, when water freezes and becomes a solid (ice), it gives off heat, and this heat can help keep the environmental temperature higher than expected. On the other hand, when water evaporates, it takes up a large amount of heat as it changes from a liquid to a gas. Heat Content of Water at Various Temperatures

15 Acids and Bases Acids are substances that dissociate in water, releasing H+ Bases are substances that either take up H+ or release OH- pH Scale used to indicate the acidity or basicity (alkalinity) of a solution The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 pH scale is the negative log of the [H+] Examples: pH of blood is about 7.4, pH of stomach is about 2

16 The pH scale

17 Buffers and pH Buffer is a chemical or combination of chemicals that keeps the pH within normal limits. In living things, the pH of body fluids is maintained within a narrow range, or else molecules don’t function correctly and our health suffers. pH of blood in healthy person is about 7.4 (just slightly basic (alkalline) - If the blood pH drops to about 7, acidosis results. - If the blood pH rises to about 7.8, alkalosis results. - Both conditions can be life threatening, the blood pH must be kept around 7.4. Normally, pH stability is possible because the body has built-in mechanisms to prevent pH changes. Buffers are one of these important mechanisms

18 Blood always contains a combination of some carbonic acid and bicarbonate ions that act as a buffering system in the blood. When H+ are added to blood, the following reaction reduces acidity: H+ + HCO ► H2CO3 When OH- are added to blood, this reaction reduces basicity: OH H2CO ► HCO H2O These reactions prevent any significant change in blood pH.
