Biological Hierarchy Emergent properties Levels of Biological Organization Evolution Universal connection -DNA Diverse classification of organisms
4
Key points Matter- pure form is elements/compounds essential elements trace elements 96% CHON
5
Element properties- dependent upon structure Electron configuration- electrons are involved in chemical behavior Nuclear structure- isotopes/radioactive isotopes
6
Types of bonds in compounds affects properties Ionic Covalent: polar/nonpolar Intermolecular attractions: Hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, London Dispersion aka van der Waals forces
7
Chemical reactions Breaking bonds- requires energy Making bonds –gives off energy Equilibrium- dynamic reactions- forward and reverse rates become equivalent
8
Water- unique molecule due to polarity and hydrogen bonding
9
4 important properties of water Cohesion of water molecules Moderation of temperature Solid ice floats on liquid water Universal solvent
10
Overview of Acid/Base Chemistry Hydrogen ion (H + ) acids Hydroxide ion (OH - )bases
11
Water – has dynamic equilibrium in which molecules dissociate at the same rate at which they are being reformed
12
A hydrogen atom in a hydrogen bond between two water molecules can shift from one to the other The hydrogen atom leaves its electron behind and is transferred as a proton, or hydrogen ion (H + ) The molecule with the extra proton is now a hydronium ion (H 3 O + ), though it is often represented as H + The molecule that lost the proton is now a hydroxide ion (OH – )
13
pH- measure of the concentration of H+ ion pH = - log [H + ] In aqueous solutions: [OH - ][H + ] = 10 -14
14
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Ch. 3 - Water & Life ater & Life For a neutral aqueous solution, [H + ] is 10 –7, so pH = –log [H + ] pH = –(–7) = 7

16
Buffers The internal pH of most living cells must remain close to pH 7 Buffers minimize changes in concentrations of H + and OH – in a solution Most buffers consist of an acid-base pair that reversibly combines with H +
17
Buffer in Blood The bicarbonate ion isn't a very strong acid or base. The direction it goes depends on the solution it is in.
