 What is Natural Selection?
Basic Darwin

Individuals in a population vary in their traits and these are
inheritable.
Reproduction
= Fitness

Populations produce far more offspring than can survive
and produce offspring = Competition.

Species are suited to their environments because
individuals best suited produce more offspring.
 What about Competition?

Calories.
 Water’s Specific heat = 1 cal/g/deg. C
 Cup is a transfer of kinetic energy.

leave as gas – Cool
molecules stay behind.

OH
 Water will disassociate to form hydrogen ions and
hydroxide ion.
 pH Measure conc. Of hydrogen.
 H+ = OH- (pH of 7), concentration of H+ = 10-7 M
 Add HCl to solution = Increase in H+ = Lower pH
 Example pH 4 = H+ conc. Of 10-4M
 Add NaOH to solution = Decrease in H+ = Higher pH
 Example pH 9 = H+ conc. Of 10-9M
 Based on the power of 10
Buffer – Resist change in pH
 Carbonic acid H2CO3
 Rise in pH = Less H+ more OH- (remove OH- by
adding H+)
 H2CO3
HCO3 + H+
 Decrease in pH = more H+ (remove hydrogen)
 HCO3 + H+
H2CO3
Challenge:

Example: Digestive enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of bonds in food
molecules.

Storage proteins
Transport proteins
Function: Storage of amino acids
Examples: Casein, the protein of milk, is the major source of amino
acids for baby mammals. Plants have storage proteins in their seeds.
Ovalbumin is the protein of egg white, used as an amino acid source
for the developing embryo.
Function: Transport of substances
Examples: Hemoglobin, the iron-containing protein of vertebrate
blood, transports oxygen from the lungs to other parts of the body.
Other proteins transport molecules across cell membranes.

Hormonal proteins
Receptor proteins
Function: Coordination of an organism’s activities
Example: Insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas, causes other
tissues to take up glucose, thus regulating blood sugar
concentration.
Function: Response of cell to chemical stimuli
Example: Receptors built into the membrane of a nerve cell detect
signaling molecules released by other nerve cells.

contraction of muscles.
Function: Support
Examples: Keratin is the protein of hair, horns, feathers, and other skin
appendages. Insects and spiders use silk fibers to make their cocoons

What Determines Protein
Conformation?
 Protein conformation
 Depends on the physical and chemical conditions of the
protein’s environment

Heat
pH
 Denaturation?
 Is when a protein unravels and loses its native
conformation

 Comparison of amino acid sequences can shed light on
the evolutionary divergence of related species. If you
were comparing two living species would you expect
all proteins to show the same degree of divergence?
Why or why not?
 Proteins, which have diverse functions in a cell, are all
polymers of the same kinds of monomers – amino
acids. Discuss how the structure of amino acids allows
this one type of polymer to perform so many functions.

 Objective: Students will be able to connect the cycling
of the SPONCH elements to livings systems:
 Free Write (100 words or less): Using your knowledge of
the macromolecules justify the following statement:

Justify the claim that organisms need the SPONCH elements
to build complex molecules and recycle elements necessary
for life.
 Create a poster that explains how the SPONCH elements
move from through the environment to synthesize
complex biomolecules necessary for cellular processes.
(Hint: carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle)
