  2. What is physiology? • The branch of biology dealing with the functions and activities of living organisms and their parts. • The study of bodily function that primarily employs the methods of experimental science.

  3. Biological Organization (pg.17)A hierarchy of structural complexity • The organism,

  4. Biological Organization (pg.17)A hierarchy of structural complexity • The organism is composed of organ systems

  5. Biological Organization (pg.17) A hierarchy of structural complexity • The organism is composed of organ systems organs systems are composed of organs,

  6. Biological Organization (pg.17) A hierarchy of structural complexity • The organism is composed of organ systems organs systems are composed of organs, organs are composed of tissues,

  7. Biological Organization (pg.17) A hierarchy of structural complexity • The organism is composed of organ systems organs systems are composed of organs, organs are composed of tissues, tissues are composed of cells,

  8. Biological Organization (pg.17) A hierarchy of structural complexity • The organism is composed of organ systems organs systems are composed of organs, organs are composed of tissues, tissues are composed of cells, cells are composed partially of organelles,

  9. Biological Organization (pg.17) A hierarchy of structural complexity • The organism is composed of organ systems organs systems are composed of organs, organs are composed of tissues, tissues are composed of cells, cells are composed partially of organelles, organelles are composed of molecules,

  10. Biological Organization (pg.17) A hierarchy of structural complexity • The organism is composed of organ systems organs systems are composed of organs, organs are composed of tissues, tissues are composed of cells, cells are composed partially of organelles, organelles are composed of molecules, molecules are composed of atoms,

  11. Biological Organization (pg.17) A hierarchy of structural complexity • The organism is composed of organ systems organs systems are composed of organs, organs are composed of tissues, tissues are composed of cells, cells are composed partially of organelles, organelles are composed of molecules, molecules are composed of atoms, and atoms are composed of subatomic particles

  12. Chemical Bonds (58-60) • Atoms can be bound together to form molecules • 2 H+ + O--H2O (water) • Na+ + Cl- NaCl (sodium chloride) • 6 C + 12 H+ + 6 O-- C6H12O6 (carbohydrate)

  13. Chemical Bonds (58-60) - O H H + • The atoms that form molecules are bound together by chemical bonds • covalent bond • electrons shared between atoms • single (C-C) • double (C=C) • non-polar (C-C) • polar (O-H) • water • ionic bond • oppositely charged ions are attracted to one another • NaCl • hydrogen bond • weak bond between a slightly positive hydrogen and a slightly negative oxygen or nitrogen

  14. Chemical Bonds - hydrogen bonds (58-60) - O H H + • hydrogen bond • weak bond between a slightly positive hydrogen and a slightly negative oxygen or nitrogen

  15. Molecules and chemical reactions (66, 68) • Chemical bonds between molecules can be formed or broken during chemical reactions • Metabolism is all of the chemical reactions occurring in your body • catabolism (breaking down a molecule) • energy released during chemical reaction • EX. carbohydrates are broken down to release energy • anabolism (synthesizing or building a molecule) • energy required for chemical rxn • EX. energy is used to build proteins or make ATP.

  16. Molecules and chemical reactions – ATP (96-97) • ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule synthesized by organisms to store energy in a readily usable form. • The energy is stored in the chemical bonds of ATP molecules as chemical potential energy • ADP + P + energy -> ATP • This energy can be used by cells whenever they need to do work. • ATP -> ADP + P + energy

  17. Molecules and chemical reactions – ATP (96-97)

  18. Life requires about 25 chemical elements • 96% of living matter is made up of • C • O • N • H • the other 4% is mostly P, S, Ca, and K • plus some trace elements like Fe and I

  19. Most macromolecules are polymers (80) • Monomers are basic subunits used to build polymers(smaller molecules) (larger molecules) • We will focus today on two polymers • lipids • proteins

  20. Lipids are mostly hydrophobic molecules with diverse functions (85-87) • Fats

  21. Lipids are mostly hydrophobic molecules with diverse functions (85-87) • Phospholipids

  22. Lipids are mostly hydrophobic molecules with diverse functions (85-87) • Phospholipids form stable structures in water

  23. Proteins (87-92) H H H O H O N C C N C C H OH H OH R1 R2 • Proteins are the molecular tools for most cellular functions • A protein is a polymer of amino acids connected in a specific sequence

  24. Proteins (87-92) H H H O H O + N C C N C C H OH H OH R1 R2 H O H H H O N C C N C C + HOH H OH R1 R2 • Proteins are the molecular tools for most cellular functions • A polypeptide is a polymer of amino acids connected in a specific sequence

  25. Proteins (87-92) • Proteins are the molecular tools for most cellular functions • A polypeptide is a polymer of amino acids connected in a specific sequence • 20 different amino acids (aa) • Each aa has a differentR group

  26. Proteins (87-92) • Proteins are the molecular tools for most cellular functions • A polypeptide is a polymer of amino acids connected in a specific sequence • 20 different amino acids (aa) • Each aa has a differentR group • Polar (+ or - charge) • hydrophilic

  27. Proteins (87-92) • Proteins are the molecular tools for most cellular functions • A polypeptide is a polymer of amino acids connected in a specific sequence • 20 different amino acids (aa) • Each aa has a differentR group • Polar (+ or - charge) • hydrophilic • Non-polar (no charge) • hydrophobic • hydrogen, ionic, covalent bondsbetween R groups are also possible

  28. Proteins (87-92) • A protein’s function depends on its specific conformation • primary structure • secondary structure • tertiary structure • quaternary structure • Proteins are the molecular tools for most cellular functions • A polypeptide is a polymer of amino acids connected in a specific sequence

  29. Remember…. A molecule’s biological function is related to its shape

  30. A protein’s function depends on its specific conformation

  31. A protein’s function depends on its specific conformation

  32. A protein’s function depends on its specific conformation

  33. A protein’s function depends on its specific conformation

  42. A DNA strand is a polymer with an information-rich sequence of nucleotides

  43. The DNA strand is a double helix

  44. Central Dogma

  45. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) Chain composed of bases: A, C, G, T http://genetics.gsk.com/graphics/dna-big.gif

  46. Some segments of DNA code for proteins Other segments of DNA code for RNAs (e.g. tRNAs or rRNAs.) http://www.designeduniverse.com/articles/Nobel_Prize/trna.jpg

  47. Still other segments of DNA are regulatory regions. Repression Activation http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/repressor_1.gif

  48. Basic structure of a cell (104-108) • plasma membrane • cytoplasm • organelles • vesicles • mitochondria • nucleus • many others • proteins • structural • enzymes

  49. Basic structure of a cell - plasma membrane (108-112) • lipid bilayer • membrane proteins • gates/pores • pumps • receptors • Plasma membranes will let some things pass, but not others • They are semipermeable

  50. Carrier mediated transport (128-131) ATP • Requires membrane proteins • Two types of carrier mediated transport • facilitated diffusion • proteins channels just act as doors • just diffusion • no energy required • active transport • substances moveagainst theirconcentration gradient • move from an areaof low concentration... • to an area of high concentration • Requires ENERGY
