  1. The Chemical Context of Life Image by Riedell KEY CONCEPTS: 2.1 Matter consists of chemical elements in pure form and in combinations called compounds. 2.2 An elements properties depend on the structure of its atoms 2.3 The formation and function of molecules depend on chemical bonding between atoms 2.4 Chemical reactions make and break chemical bonds.

  11. Image from: http://www.estrellamountain.edu/faculty/farabee/biobk/BioBookCHEM2.html Polar Molecules Because of the location of electrons in molecules, some molecules have an _________ pattern of ____________________ More ___ on one side; More ___ on the other EX: water UNEVEN electric charge + - More about this in Chapter 7

  12. EX: PHOSPHOLIPIDS The same molecule can have bothPOLAR and NON-POLARparts Polar head NON-polartails More about this in Chapter 7 Image by Riedell

  13. WHAT HOLDS MOLECULES TOGETHER? held together Molecules are _____________by the ________ between ______________ regions of nearby molecules = _____________________ attraction oppositely charged van der Waals forces http://www.examstutor.com/chemistry/resources/studyroom/bonding/intermolecular_forces/2_van_de_waals_forces.php

  14. HYDROGEN BONDS Bonds that form between the_________ charged _____________ in one molecule and a __________ charged _________ in a nearby molecule are called _____________________ positively HYDROGEN atom negatively atom HYDROGEN BONDS EX: water molecules are held together by Hydrogen bonds Hydrogen bond animation Images from: http://www.estrellamountain.edu/faculty/farabee/biobk/BioBookCHEM2.html

  15. _________ is the most important atom found in living things CARBON four It can join to _______ other atoms at same time It can form ______ or _____ so it can make lots of different kinds of molecules. chains rings Images from: http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/chemhydrocarbon.htm

  17. “Like dissolves like” HYDROPHILIC ____________________ means “water loving” _________ groups/molecules try to _________ and touch water or ______________ molecules POLAR be near other polar Water makes a great solvent in living things because so many molecules found in living things are polar or have a charge. http://www.makash.ac.il/h_school/hst/hstsb/chem/luach/dissolve.jpg

  18. http://egullet.com/imgs/egci/nonstocksauce/nons1.JPG “Like dissolves like” HYDROPHOBIC _________________ means “water fearing” ___________ groups/molecules try to _________ other __________ molecules and __________ ________ molecules NON-polar be near NON-polar polar away from Oil based paints dissolve in solvents such as turpentine . . . not water.

  26. Chemical reactions can also ________ molecules apart. ______________ = kind of chemical reaction in which a molecule is broken apart by addinga________ molecule. “_____” = water “_____” = break apart break HYDROLYSIS WATER hydro lysis See an animation http://science.nhmccd.edu/BIOL/dehydrat/dehydrat.html

  27. opposite HYDROLYSIS is the _________ of DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS. Adding a water molecule breaks the bond. http://www.usd116.org/apalla/biology/unit3/notes/3notes1.htm
