AP Biology The Study of Life…
AP Biology Framework • Big Idea 1: The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life. • Big Idea 2: Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce, and to maintain dynamic homeostasis. • Big Idea 3: Living systems store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes. • Big Idea 4: Biological systems interact, and these systems and their interactions possess complex properties.
Ch. 1 and 2 Recap Summer Homework

the cell theory • All living things are composed of 1 or more cells • Cells are organisms’ basic units of structure and function. • Cells come only from existing cells
DNA and Heritable information • DNA is made of bases that code for Protiens • mRNA is copied from the DNA where is leaves the cell attaches to a ribosome. • tRNA brings amino acids to the site to assemble a protien

Kingdom Plantae consists of multicellula eukaryotes that carry out photosynthesis, the conversion of light energy to food. 4 µm Bacteria are the most diverse and widespread prokaryotes and are now divided among multiple kingdoms. Each of the rod-shapedstructures in this photo is a bacterial cell. Protists (multiple kingdoms) are unicellular eukaryotes and their relatively simple multicellular relatives.Pictured here is an assortment of protists inhabiting pond water. Scientists are currently debating how to split the protistsinto several kingdoms that better represent evolution and diversity. 100 µm DOMAIN ARCHAEA Kindom Animalia consists of multicellular eukaryotes thatingest other organisms. Kindom Fungi is defined in part by thenutritional mode of its members, suchas this mushroom, which absorb nutrientsafter decomposing organic material. Many of the prokaryotes known as archaea live in Earth‘s extreme environments, such as salty lakes and boiling hot springs. Domain Archaea includes multiple kingdoms. The photoshows a colony composed of many cells. 0.5 µm Figure 1.15 the 3 Domains & their Kingdoms
Figure 1.19 Evolution • accounts for life’s unity and diversity • unity: all species descended from a common ancestor • diversity: modifications that evolved as species branched from their common ancestors • Darwin: “descent with modification”
Chapter 2 The Chemical Context of Life
Objectives- You must Know • The three subatomic particles and their significance • The types of bonds, how they form, and their relative strength
Concept 2.1: Matter consists of chemical elements in pure form and in combinations called compounds • Organisms are composed of matter • Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass • Matter is made up of elements
What are elements? • An element is a substance that cannot be broken down to other substances by chemical reactions • A compound is a substance consisting of two or more elements in a fixed ratio
Sodium Chlorine Sodium chloride
Essential Elements of Life • About 25 of the 92 elements are essential to life • Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen make up 96% of living matter • Most of the remaining 4% consists of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur • Trace elements are those required by an organism in minute quantities
LE 2-3 Nitrogen deficiency Iodine deficiency
Atoms • Atoms are composed of subatomic particles • Relevant subatomic particles include: • Neutrons (no electrical charge) • Protons (positive charge) • Electrons (negative charge) • Neutrons and protons form theatomic nucleus • Electrons form a cloud around the nucleus
Cloud of negative charge (2 electrons) Electrons Nucleus
Atomic Number and Atomic Mass • An element’s atomic number is the number of protons • An element’s mass number is the sum of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus
Isotopes • Isotopes are two atoms of an element that differ in number of neutrons • Most isotopes are stable, but some are radioactive, giving off particles and energy

Key Concept: The formation and function of molecules depend on chemical bonding between atoms • Incomplete valence shells allow for shared or transfered valence electrons: Chemical bonds Chemical Bonding
Covalent Bonds • A covalent bond is the sharing of a pair of valence electrons by two atoms
Covalent Bonds • A molecule consists of two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds • A single covalent bond, or single bond, is the sharing of one pair of valence electrons • A double covalent bond, or double bond, is the sharing of two pairs of valence electrons

Electronegativity is an atom’s attraction for the electrons in a covalent bond • The more electronegative an atom, the more strongly it pulls shared electrons toward itself
In a nonpolar covalent bond, the atoms share the electron equally • In a polar covalent bond, one atom is more electronegative, and the atoms do not share the electron equally
Ionic Bonds • An ionic bond is an attraction between an anion and a cation • A charged atom (or molecule) is called an ion • An anion is a negatively charged ion • A cation is a positively charged ion
Ionic Bonds Na Cl Na+ Cl– Sodium atom (an uncharged atom) Chlorine atom (an uncharged atom) Sodium ion (a cation) Chlorine ion (an anion) Sodium chloride (NaCl)
Hydrogen Bonds • A hydrogen bond forms when a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to one electronegative atom is also attracted to another electronegative atom
Van der Waals Interactions • Molecules or atoms that are very close together can be attracted by fleeting charge differences • Collectively, such interactions can be strong, as between molecules of a gecko’s toe hairs and a wall surface Natural endorphin Morphine Endorphin receptors Brain cell Binding to endorphin receptors
Bond Strength • Between ATOMS • Ionic = strongest • Covalent = weakest • Between COMPOUNDS (dissolving) • Hydrogen Bonds = strongest (created by several covalent) • Ionic = weakest • Salt will dissolve in water • The H and O bonds in water don’t break
Chemical reactions • Chemical reactions lead to new arrangements of atoms • Reactants = The starting molecules • Products = The final molecules
2 H2 O2 2 H2O Reactants Reaction Products
Some chemical reactions go to completion: All reactants are converted to products • Most chemical reactions are reversible: Products of the forward reaction become reactants for the reverse reaction • Chemical equilibrium is reached when the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal
