Chap 2 Biochemistry The Chemistry of Life
- Elements and Atoms Ions:
- Elements and Atoms Why unstable?
What is C’s atomic number? How many electrons are needed in the outer orbital to be stable?
- Covalent Bonds and Polarity Why are the electrons pulled?
Properties of Water due to its polarity Cohesion Adhesion Nearly Universal Solvent Why do oil and water not mix? High Specific Heat (thermal capacity)
The picture shows a droplet of water hanging on the tip of a leaf. How do the physical properties of water result in the image shown? Cohesion: Adhesion:
Van der Walls Forces: Example: Liquid water solution Hydrogen Bond Interactions Solid (frozen) water Increase Volume, Decrease Density Why is it important solid water floats in biology?
When lettuce is frozen and then thawed, it’s texture changes. Using the image above, why does freezing cause this change? Crash Course Biology - Water
NaCl = ? Disassociation/Dissolving Ion formation =
Neutralization Reaction NaOH solution = HCl solution = Litmus paper HCl(sol) + NaOH(sol)
Acid Precipitation Formation: Problems: Fix:
- Properties ofCarbon Organic Molecules: always have ______ and ______ always form _________ bonds
- Life With Carbon Hydrolysis (digestion) vs. Dehydration synthesis Monomers Polymers
- Life With Carbon Example of a carbohydrate Uses:

- Life With Carbon Amino Acids (AA’s) Known: In Cells:
- Life With Carbon Uses: Shape Dictates Function!!!!!!
Activation Energy: Reactants: Products: Ex: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
Enzymes – organic catalysts - reduce or eliminate activation energy - unchanged by the reaction Letter at the beach example
Lock and Key Theory 1 Enzyme for 1 Reaction: Hydrolysis or Dehydration Synthesis Affected by temperature, pH and pressure -denature: - example: fried egg
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are chemically reactive molecules containing oxygen. Examples include oxygenions and peroxides. ROS are formed as a natural byproduct of the normal metabolism of oxygen and have important roles in cell signaling and homeostasis.[1] However, during times of environmental stress (e.g., UV or heat exposure), ROS levels can increase dramatically.[1] This may result in significant damage to cell structures. Cumulatively, this is known as oxidative stress. ROS are also generated by exogenous sources such as ionizing radiation.
