Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life
3
Section 1: The Nature of Matter
4
Objectives What three subatomic particles make up atoms? How are all the isotopes of an element similar? What are the two types of chemical bonds?
5
The Big Idea Life Depends on chemistry Chemical reactions keep you alive
6
Atom Basic unit of matter
7
Democrites
8
Subatomic particles Protons - Neutrons - Electrons - Positively charged (+) Not charged (neutral) Negatively charged (-) Bind together to form the nucleus Electrons Protons Neutrons Nucleus
10
Element A pure substance that consists of just one type of atom
12
6 C Carbon 12.011 Atomic number An elements atomic number = number of protons
13
Isotope Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain
14
Nonradioactive carbon-12Nonradioactive carbon-13Radioactive carbon-14 6 electrons 6 protons 6 neutrons 6 electrons 6 protons 8 neutrons 6 electrons 6 protons 7 neutrons
15
6 C Carbon 12.011 Mass number The Sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is its mass number
16
The weighted average of the masses of an elements isotope is called its atomic mass
17
Radioactive isotopes Can be dangerous Can be used practically –Radioactive dating –Treat cancer –Kill bacteria
18

23
Table Salt
24
Ionic Bonds Formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another
25
Sodium atom (Na) Chlorine atom (Cl) Sodium ion (Na + ) Chloride ion (Cl - ) Transfer of electron Protons +11 Electrons -11 Charge 0 Protons +17 Electrons -17 Charge 0 Protons +11 Electrons -10 Charge +1 Protons +17 Electrons -18 Charge -1
26
If an atom loses an electron it becomes positive If an atom gains an electron it becomes negative
27
Ions Positively and negatively charged atoms
29
Covalent Bonds Forms when electrons are shared between atoms
31
Molecule The structure that results when atoms are joined together by a covalent bond Smallest unit of most compounds
32
Van der Waals Forces A slight attraction that develops between the oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules due to unequal sharing of electrons
35
Section 2: Properties of Water
36
Objectives Why are water molecules polar? What are acidic solutions? What are basic solutions?
37
The Big Idea Much of our planet is covered in water Water is necessary for life to exist If life exists on other planets, there most likely is water present Water has many properties that make life possible
38
Polarity (-) (+) The oxygen atom has a stronger attraction for electrons
39
Hydrogen Bonds Because of waters partial charges, they can attract each other and create hydrogen bonds Not as strong as covalent or ionic bonds Waters ability to create multiple hydrogen bonds gives it many special properties
40
Cohesion Attraction between molecules of the same substance
43
Adhesion Attraction molecules of different substances
45
Mixture Material composed of two or more elements or compounds that are physically mixed but not chemically combined Ex.) salt & pepper, earths atmosphere

Solvent The substance that does the dissolving Ex.) Water
50
Suspensions Mixture of water and non- dissolved materials Ex.) sugar solution, blood Separate into pieces so small, they never settle out
51

52
Neutral Acid Base
53
Acids Any compound that forms H + (hydrogen) ions in solution
54
Base A compound that produces OH - (hydroxide) ions in solution
55
Buffers Weak acids or bases that can react with strong acids or bases to prevent sharp, sudden pH changes
56
Section 3: Carbon Compounds
57
Objective What are the functions of each group of organic compounds?
58
Most of the compounds that make up living things contain carbon. In fact, carbon makes up the basic structure, or “backbone,” of these compounds. Each atom of carbon has four electrons in its outer energy level, which makes it possible for each carbon atom to form four bonds with other atoms. As a result, carbon atoms can form long chains. A huge number of different carbon compounds exist. Each compound has a different structure. For example, carbon chains can be straight or branching. Also, other kinds of atoms can be attached to the carbon chain. Section 2-3 Interest Grabber Life’s backbone
59
MethaneAcetyleneButadieneBenzene Isooctane
60
Macromolecules “giant molecules” Formed by a process called polymerization
61
Monomers Smaller units
62
Polymers Linked up monomers
63
Carbohydrates Compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms usually in a ratio of 1:2:1 Main source of energy The monomers of starch are sugars
64
Single sugar molecules are called monosaccharides The large macromolecules formed from monosaccharides are known as polysaccharides
65
Starch Glucose
66
Lipids Made mostly from carbon and hydrogen atoms Used to store energy
67
Lipid Glycerol Fatty Acids
68
Proteins Macromolecules that contain nitrogen as well as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen Proteins are polymers of molecules called amino acids
69
Amino Acids General structureAlanineSerine Carboxyl group
70
More than 20 different amino acids, can join to any other amino acid The instructions for arranging amino acids into many different proteins are stored in DNA Each protein has a specific role The shape of proteins can be very important
71
Proteins Amino Acids
72
Nucleic Acids Macromolecules containing hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus Double Helix
73
Nucleotides Consists of 3 parts: 5-carbon sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base Nitrogen Base 5-Carbon Sugar Phosphate group
74
2 kinds of nucleic acids RNA (ribonucleic acids) – contains sugar ribose DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) – contains sugar deoxyribose
75
Section 4: Chemical Reactions and Enzymes
76
Objectives What happens to chemical bonds during chemical reactions? How do energy changes affect whether a chemical reaction will occur? Why are enzymes important to living things?
77
The Big Idea Living things are made up of chemical compounds Everything that happens to an organism is based on chemical reactions
78
Chemical Reactions A process that changes or transforms one set of chemicals into another
79
Reactants Elements or compounds that enter into a reaction
80
Products Elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction
81
Example Reaction: Getting rid of carbon dioxide In the blood In the lungs CO 2 + H 2 0 H 2 CO 3 (carbonic acid) H 2 CO 3 CO 2 + H 2 O Released as you breathe
82
Energy in reactions Energy-Absorbing Reaction Energy-Releasing Reaction Products Activation energy Activation energy Reactants
84
Activation Energy The energy that is needed to get a reaction started
86
Enzymes Some chemical reactions are too slow or have activation energies that are too high to make them practical for living tissue These chemical reactions are made possible by catalysts
87
Catalyst Substance that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions Work by lowering a reactions activation energy
88
Enzyme Biological catalysts Speed up reactions in cells Very specific Named for the reaction it catylzes Enzyme names always end in - ase Enzymes can be reused as long as they are not denatured
89
Reaction pathway without enzyme Activation energy without enzyme Activation energy with enzyme Reaction pathway with enzyme Reactants Products
90
Substrates The reactants of enzyme catalyzed reactions The active site of the enzyme and the substrate have complementary shapes Fit like a lock and key
91
Enzyme Action Enzyme – substrate complex
92
Glucose Substrates ATP Substrates bind to enzyme Substrates are converted into products Enzyme-substrate complex Enzyme (hexokinase) ADP Products Glucose-6- phosphate Products are released Active site
