1
Atoms, Bonding, Inorganic Molecules, Water, pH and Macromolecules
2
Atoms The building block of matter that makes up- well everything Made of three parts: Proton- positive charge, in center nucleus Neutron- no charge, in nucleus Electron- negative charge- orbit the nucleus in levels
3
Element an atom with a specific number of protons and unique properties
4
Periodic Table of Elements 90 naturally found and 25 man made
5
Sodium Symbol: Na Protons: 11 Properties: soft, silvery, white metal, very reactive, highly soluble (dissolve) in water
6
Chlorine Symbol: Cl Protons: 17 Properties: poisonous, smelly yellow- green gas, dissolves in water, not flammable
7
Atoms bond together to make a molecule with new, unique traits.
8
Covalent Bond Electrons are shared between 2 atoms
9
Ionic Bond One atom gives electron to another atom becoming positively charged Other atom accepts the electron becoming negatively charged + and - attract
10
NaCl Sodium and chlorine bond ionically and form table salt with new properties
11
Polar Molecule Molecule with uneven sharing of electrons causing areas of positive and negative charge Water is a polar molecule This makes it able to form hydrogen bonds
12
Hydrogen Bond Hydrogen bonds covalently with a larger atom Electron goes around both atoms but is with the larger atom more Larger atom gains a slight negative charge Hydrogen atom gains a light positive charge Positive and negative regions of polar molecules are attracted to each other
13
Organic Molecules have Carbon Inorganic Molecules do not have Carbon
14
Carbon is VERY important It is able to make many single, double, triple and quadruple covalent bonds with other elements All living things are made with carbon based molecules
15
Water is an inorganic molecule
16
Water H 2 O 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen bonded covalently
17
Properties of Water
18
Three States of Matter Solid- ice, Liquid- water, Gas- vapor
19
Cohesion Attraction of water to itself allows for surface tension
20
Adhesion Water attracted to other things allows for a meniscus
21
Universal Solvent Able to dissolve many different types of chemicals
22
Less Dense as a Solid Molecules spread out as a solid while they are closer together as a liquid
23
High Specific Heat Large amount of energy is needed to change the temperature of water- increase and decrease water temperature
24
pH means percent Hydrogen Water splits into H+ (Hydrogen ion) and OH- (Hydroxide)
25
pH Scale ranges from 0 to 14
26
Acid 0 (strongest)-6.5 (weakest) 0 has the highest concentration of H+ (hydrogen ion) but the lowest of OH- (hydroxide)
27
Neutral 6.5-7.5 Nearly no H+ (hydrogen ion) or OH- (hydroxide)
28
Basic/Alkaline 7.5 (weakest) to 14 (strongest) 14 has the lowest concentration of H+ (hydrogen ion) but the highest of OH- (hydroxide)
29
Important nutrients include: Carbohydrates, Lipids and Proteins, as well as minerals and vitamins Nutrients are necessary to maintain your health as they allow for growth and cell function
30
When talking about nutrition energy is measured by kilocalories (kcal). A kilocalorie is the measure of how much energy is needed to raise I gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. 1 kilocalorie =1 Calorie =1,000 calories
32
Macromolecules Another name is a polymer Made of many repeating units called monomers
33
Carbohydrates Monomer: monosaccharide ex) glucose, deoxyribose, ribose, fructose Polymer: polysaccharide ex) starch, glycogen, cellulose
34
How Carbohydrates are Absorbed Carbohydrates must be broken down into monosaccharides in order to be used by the body as only monosaccharides may pass into the blood stream They provide 4 kcal per gram.
35
Function of Carbohydrates in the Cell Short-term energy that will be used within @24 hours Cell communication and recognition- glycolipids and glycoproteins serve as antigens
36
Lipids All substances that are not able to be dissolved in water Called hydrophobic- hydro- means water and -phobic means to repel No monomer Polymers: Fats, Oils, Waxes, Steroid Hormones, Triglycerides, Phospholipid
37
How are Lipids Absorbed by the Body Lipids must be hydrolyzed, broken down, into smaller components to be absorbed by the blood or lymph system. Lipids provide 7 kcal of energy per gram
38
Functions of Lipids Long-term energy storage Insulation Protection of organs Water proofing Communication- hormones Make the cell membrane- phospholipids Add flexibility to membranes
39
Proteins Monomer: amino acid (20 types) Polymer: polypeptide Proteins provide 4 kcal per gram and are a great source of nitrogen
40
Protein Structures
41
Functions of Proteins Energy Structure (muscle) Transport (cell membrane integral and peripheral proteins) Communication (non steroid hormones) Speed up reactions (enzymes)
42
Enzymes are complex proteins that are a catalyst- they speed up reactions
43
Benefits of Enzymes substrate specific- each enzyme will only fit with one substrate. reusable unchanged by a reaction make reactions such as digestion happen faster then it would if there was no enzyme- supports life
44
Lock and Key The enzyme has an area called the active site. The active site has a shape. A substrate with the same shape can fit in the active site. A reaction happens faster the it could have without the enzyme. Products of the reaction are released.
45
But there are things that can change how well an enzyme works called inhibitors
46
These denature the enzyme or make it unfold, changed shape.
47
Environmental Inhibitors Temperature, Ionic Concentration, pH
48
Competitive Inhibitors Something that is not the correct substrate goes into the active site and blocks the substrate from entering.
49
Noncompetitive Inhibitors Substance binds to an area of the enzyme and change the shape of the active site. Now the substrate will not fit.
50
Nucleic Acids Monomer: Nucleotide Polymer: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic acid (RNA)
51
Function of Nucleic Acids DNA carries all the genetic information of an organism RNA is a copy of the DNA that can be used by the cell
52
Vitamins Organic molecules that assist in regulating the body but do not provide energy Soluble in fat or water
53
Fat-Soluble Vitamins Dissolve in fats and oils Stored in the body Include vitamins K, A, D and E
54
Water-Soluble Vitamins Remain dissolved in water Excess are filtered out by the kidneys and are not stored by the body Include vitamin C and B
55
Minerals Inorganic molecules required for body processes Fluid regulation, bone composition, muscle movement and nerve response We need 100 mg per day of major minerals (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, chloride) We need less than 100 mg of trace minerals (iron, zinc, copper, iodine, fluoride)
