ELAINE N. MARIEB EIGHTH EDITION 2 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings PowerPoint ® Lecture Slide Presentation by Jerry L. Cook, Sam Houston University ESSENTIALS OF HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY PART B Basic Chemistry
2
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Biochemistry: Essentials for Life Organic compounds Contain carbon Most are covalently bonded Example: C 6 H 12 O 6 (glucose) Inorganic compounds Lack carbon Tend to be simpler compounds Example: H 2 O (water)
3
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Important Inorganic Compounds Water Most abundant inorganic compounds Vital properties High heat capacity Polarity/solvent properties Chemical reactivity Cushioning
4
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Important Inorganic Compounds Salts Easily dissociate into ions in the presence of water Vital to many body functions Include electrolytes which conduct electrical currents
5
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Important Inorganic Compounds Acids Can release detectable hydrogen ions Bases Proton acceptors Neutralization reaction Acids and bases react to form water and a salt
6
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings pH Measures relative concentration of hydrogen ions pH 7 = neutral pH below 7 = acidic pH above 7 = basic Buffers: chemicals that can regulate pH change Figure 2.11
7
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Important Organic Compounds Carbohydrates Contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen Include sugars and starches Classified according to size Monosaccharides – simple sugars Disaccharides – two simple sugars joined by dehydration synthesis Polysaccharides – long branching chains of linked simple sugars
8
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Carbohydrates The cell membrane does not allow larger sugars to cross All sugars must be broken down (hydrolysis) into glucose in order to cross cell membrane When the body builds larger sugars (disaccharides, polysaccharides), then dehydration synthesis or condensation reactions need to occur
9
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Carbohydrates Polysaccharides – 2 types are of bodily importance: Starches – plant material (carrots, potatoes) Glycogen – animal tissues like muscles and liver Goal of most carbohydrates – formation of ATP which is the cell’s energy currency

12
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Important Organic Compounds Lipids Contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen Carbon and hydrogen outnumber oxygen Insoluble in water From Marbled Meats, Oils, Milk Products, and egg yolks LIPIDS ANIMATION PRESS TO PLAY
13
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Lipids Common lipids in the human body Neutral fats (triglycerides) Found in fat deposits Composed of 3 fatty acids and glycerol Source of stored energy Saturated – all carbon are single-bonded Unsaturated – carbons are double or triple bonded
14
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Lipids Common lipids in the human body (continued) Phospholipids Form cell membranes (selective permeability) Steroids Most important is cholesterol Too much with saturated fats can lead to: atherosclerosis (deposits of fats on artery arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) Others include bile salts, vitamin D, and some hormones

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Cholesterol The basis for all steroids made in the body Figure 2.14c
17
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Important Organic Compounds Proteins Made of amino acids Contain carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur Two Types of Proteins Fibrous – used for structural building in the body Ex. Collagen (bones, cartilage, etc) and Keratin (skin and hair) Globular (aka functional)– spherical in shape, mobile in the body and they carry out bodily functions Ex. Enzymes (catalysts), hormones, and molecules like hemoglobin (oxygen binding)
18
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Protein Animations Click below to explore the levels of protein structure INTRODUCTION TO PROTEIN STRUCTURE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE © PROTEINS: PRIMARY STRUCTURE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE © PROTEINS: SECONDARY STRUCTURE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE © PROTEINS: TERTIARY STRUCTURE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE © PROTEINS: QUATERNARY STRUCTURE PRESS TO PLAY PRESS TO PLAY PRESS TO PLAY PRESS TO PLAY PRESS TO PLAY
19
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Proteins Account for over half of the body’s organic matter Provides for construction materials for body tissues (fibrous) Plays a vital role in cell function (globular) Act as enzymes, hormones, and antibodies pH balance crucial for protein functions Ex. Too much acid – hemoglobin cannot bind to oxygen, too much base – pepsin in stomach becomes inactivated CHEMISTRY OF LIFE © PROTEINS: ENZYME ANIMATION PRESS TO PLAY
20
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Enzymes Act as biological catalysts Increase the rate of chemical reactions All end is suffix –ase, usually named for the reactions they catalyze Figure 2.17
21
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Important Organic Compounds Nucleic Acids Provide blueprint of life and facilitate protein synthesis Nucleotide bases A = Adenine G = Guanine C = Cytosine T = Thymine U = Uracil Make DNA and RNA
22
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Nucleic Acids Nucleotide – subunit of all nucleic acids Nitrogen base Five carbon sugar Phosphate group
23
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Nucleic Acids Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Organized by complementary bases to form double helix Replicates before cell division Provides instruction for every protein in the body Figure 2.18c
24
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Important Organic Compounds Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) Chemical energy used by all cells Energy is released by breaking high energy phosphate bond ATP is replenished by oxidation of food fuels
25
