Unit 2 Chemical Basis for Life Chapter 6 Chemistry in Biology Section Section Section Section 1: 2: 3: 4: Atoms, Elements, & Compounds (p. 148-155) Chemical Reactions (p. 156-160) Water & Solutions (p. 161-165) The Building Blocks of Life (p. 166-171) Section 1 Atoms, Elements, and Compounds Objectives Living things consist of atoms of different elements Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons Atoms share pairs of electrons in covalent bonds The atom The atom is the smallest basic unit of matter Atoms are very small The atom There are three parts of a an atom Subatomic particle Charge Location Proton Positive Nucleus Neutron Neutral Nucleus Electron Negative Surrounding nucleus Elements An element is one particular type of atom, and it cannot be broken down into a simpler substance by ordinary chemical means Gold Aluminum Helium Atoms & Elements Key Elements In biology, there are SIX very important elements Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Phosphorus Sulfur Nitrogen How are elements different The number of protons determines the identity of an element Carbon: 6 protons Oxygen: 8 protons The number of electrons determines the property of an element Carbon: 6 electrons, 4 on OUTSIDE Oxygen: 8 electrons, 6 on OUTSIDE Carbon diagrams Chemical Party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBCmt_pJTRA Lonely Atoms Atoms rarely are found alone in nature They will do ANYTHING to get to 8 electrons on the outside Steal Dump Share Compounds A compound is a substance made of atoms of different elements bonded together Result of sharing, stealing, or dumping electrons Atoms bonded in a specific ratio Carbon Compounds (more about this later) Carbon can form many various bonds to form Carbohydrates Proteins Nucleic acids Lipids Ionic Bond Ionic bonds are formed through the electrical force between oppositely charged ions Opposites attract! Ex: Salt aka sodium chloride (NaCl) Positive sodium (Na+) Negative chloride (Cl-) NaCl – ionic bond Ions Ions are atoms that have gained or lost one or more electrons. Results in a change in electrical charge Gain e- becomes negative Lose e- becomes positive Ions, cont. Very important to organisms Hydrogen ions (H+) needed to produce chemical energy in cells Calcium ions (Ca2+) needed for all muscle movement in your body Chloride ions (Cl-) needed for many chemical signals in the brain Covalent Bond Not all atoms easily gain or lose their electrons! Some atoms share their electrons instead! Covalent Bond: forms when atoms share a pair of electrons Usually a very strong bond Atoms may have several covalent bonds to share several electrons H2O – covalent bond CO2 – covalent bond Covalent Bond, cont. Molecule: two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds Ex: carbon dioxide (CO2) Carbon atoms needs 4 electrons to fill outer level, oxygen needs two Carbon shares with 2 oxygen! Ions, Ionic Bonds, & Covalent Bonds Review What are atoms? How are the particles that make up atoms diagrammed? What are the similarities between covalent and ionic bonds? Section 2 Chemical Reactions Objectives Bonds break and form during chemical reactions. Chemical reactions release or absorb energy. Evidence of a chemical reaction Temperature change Formation of a solid (precipitate) Color change (sometimes) Odor (sometimes) Formation of gas Chemical Reaction... Gummy bear torture Bonds break & form during chemical reactions Plant/Animal cells break down sugars to get usable energy Cells build protein molecules by bonding amino acids together Chemical reactions change substances into different substances by breaking and forming chemical bonds Reactants are the substance changed during a chemical reactions Oxygen (O2) & Glucose (C6H12O6) Products are the substances made by a chemical reaction Carbon Dioxide (CO2) & Water (H2O) 6O2 + C6H12O6 6CO2 + 6H2O Reactants & Products Energy Bond energy is the amount of energy that will break a bond between two atoms. Every atom has different bond energy A SPECIFIC amount of energy is needed to break bonds in an oxygen molecule A SPECIFIC amount of energy is needed to break bonds in a glucose molecule Energy is needed to break bonds in molecules is released when bonds are formed The amount of energy released is equal to the energy that breaks the same bond Energy needed to break apart water molecule = energy released when hydrogen & oxygen atoms bond to form a water molecule All chemical reactions involve changes in energy Energy added to the reactants breaks their chemical bonds When new bonds form in the products, energy is released Energy is both absorbed and released during a chemical reaction! Some release more energy than they absorb (Generous) Some absorb more energy than they release (Greedy) Generous chemical RXNs that release more energy than they absorb = Exothermic reaction Excess energy is the difference in bond energy between the reactants and products Excess energy is often released as heat or light Cellular respiration releases usable energy for your cells & heat! Greedy chemical RXNs that absorb more energy than they release = Endothermic reaction In photosynthesis, plants absorb energy from sunlight and use that to make sugars and carbohydrates Exothermic VS. Endothermic graphs But how does a rxn start? Some energy must first be absorbed by the reactants in ANY chemical reaction The amount of energy needed will vary Activation energy is the amount of energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start Push a rock up a hill Activation energy Activation Energy Catalysts & Enzymes A catalyst is a substance that lowers the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction. Special proteins called enzymes are the biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reactions in biological processes. Enzymes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTUm-75-PL4 Review What are the parts of a chemical reaction? How can energy changes be related to chemical reactions? What is the importance of enzymes in living organisms? Section 3 Water and Solutions Objectives Life depends on hydrogen bonds in water. Many compounds dissolve in water.
