The Chemistry of Life
Section 1: The Nature of
Matter
Objectives
• What three subatomic particles make up
atoms?
• How are all the isotopes of an element
similar?
• What are the two types of chemical
bonds?
The Big Idea
• Life Depends on chemistry
• Chemical reactions keep you
alive
Atom
• Basic unit of matter
Democrites
Subatomic particles
• Protons - Positively charged (+)
• Neutrons - Not charged (neutral)
• Electrons - Negatively charged (-)
Electrons
Bind together
to form the
nucleus
Protons
Nucleus
Neutrons
Element
• A pure substance that consists
of just one type of atom
An elements atomic number = number of
protons

Carbon
12.011
Atomic number
Isotope
• Atoms of the same element
that differ in the number of
neutrons they contain
Nonradioactive carbon-12
6 electrons
6 protons
6 neutrons
Nonradioactive carbon-13
6 electrons
6 protons
7 neutrons
Radioactive carbon-14
6 electrons
6 protons
8 neutrons
The Sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an
atom is its mass number

Carbon
12.011
Mass number
• The weighted average of the
masses of an elements isotope is
called its atomic mass
Radioactive isotopes
• Can be dangerous
• Can be used
practically
–Radioactive dating
–Treat cancer
–Kill bacteria
Compounds
• A substance formed by the
chemical combination of two or
more elements in definite
proportions
• Ex) H2O, NaCl
Table Salt
Ionic Bonds
• Formed when one or more
electrons are transferred from
one atom to another
Sodium atom (Na)
Chlorine atom (Cl)
Sodium ion (Na+)
Chloride ion (Cl-)

• If an atom loses an electron it
becomes positive
• If an atom gains an electron it
becomes negative
Ions
• Positively and negatively
charged atoms
Covalent Bonds
• Forms when electrons are
shared between atoms
Molecule
• The structure that results when
atoms are joined together by a
covalent bond
• Smallest unit of most compounds
Van der Waals Forces
• A slight attraction that
develops between the
oppositely charged regions of
nearby molecules due to
unequal sharing of electrons
Section 2: Properties of
Water
Objectives
• Why are water molecules polar?
• What are acidic solutions? What
are basic solutions?
The Big Idea
• Much of our planet is covered in
water
• Water is necessary for life to exist
• If life exists on other planets,
there most likely is water present
• Water has many properties that
make life possible
Polarity
(-)
The oxygen atom has
a stronger attraction for
electrons
(+)
Hydrogen Bonds
• Because of waters partial
charges, they can attract each
other and create hydrogen bonds
• Not as strong as covalent or ionic
bonds
• Waters ability to create multiple
hydrogen bonds gives it many
special properties
Cohesion
• Attraction between molecules of
the same substance
Adhesion
• Attraction molecules of different
substances
Mixture
• Material composed of two or more
elements or compounds that are
physically mixed but not
chemically combined
• Ex.) salt & pepper, earths
atmosphere
Solutions
• Mixture of two or more
substances in which the
molecules are evenly distributed
• Ex.) salt water
• Settles out over time
Solutions
Cl-
Cl-
Na+
Na+
Water
Water
Solute
• Substance that is dissolved
• Ex.) salt
Solvent
• The substance that does the
dissolving
• Ex.) Water
Suspensions
• Mixture of water and nondissolved materials
• Ex.) sugar solution, blood
• Separate into pieces so small,
they never settle out
The pH scale
• Indicated the concentration of
hydrogen ions in a solution
Acid
Neutral
Base
Acids
• Any compound that forms H+
(hydrogen) ions in solution
Base
• A compound that produces OH(hydroxide) ions in solution
Buffers
• Weak acids or bases that can
react with strong acids or bases
to prevent sharp, sudden pH
changes
Section 3: Carbon Compounds
Objective
• What are the functions of each
group of organic compounds?
Interest Grabber
Section 2-3
Life’s backbone
• Most of the compounds that make up living
things contain carbon. In fact, carbon makes
up the basic structure, or “backbone,” of these
compounds. Each atom of carbon has four
electrons in its outer energy level, which
makes it possible for each carbon atom to
form four bonds with other atoms.
• As a result, carbon atoms can form long
chains. A huge number of different carbon
compounds exist. Each compound has a
different structure. For example, carbon chains
can be straight or branching. Also, other kinds
of atoms can be attached to the carbon chain.
Methane
Acetylene
Butadiene
Benzene
Isooctane
Macromolecules “giant molecules”
• Formed by a process called
polymerization
Monomers
• Smaller units
Polymers
• Linked up monomers
Carbohydrates
• Compounds made up of carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen atoms
usually in a ratio of 1:2:1
• Main source of energy
• The monomers of starch are
sugars
• Single sugar molecules are called
monosaccharides
• The large macromolecules
formed from monosaccharides
are known as polysaccharides
Starch
Glucose
Lipids
• Made mostly from carbon and
hydrogen atoms
• Used to store energy
Lipid
Fatty Acids
Glycerol
Proteins
• Macromolecules that contain
nitrogen as well as carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen
• Proteins are polymers of
molecules called amino acids
Amino Acids
Carboxyl group
General structure
Alanine
Serine
• More than 20 different amino
acids, can join to any other amino
acid
• The instructions for arranging
amino acids into many different
proteins are stored in DNA
• Each protein has a specific role
• The shape of proteins can be very
important
Proteins
Amino
Acids
Nucleic Acids
• Macromolecules containing hydrogen,
oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and
phosphorus
Double
Helix
Nucleotides
• Consists of 3 parts: 5-carbon sugar,
phosphate group and nitrogen base
Nitrogen Base
Phosphate
group
5-Carbon Sugar
2 kinds of nucleic acids
• RNA (ribonucleic acids) –
contains sugar ribose
• DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) –
contains sugar deoxyribose
Section 4: Chemical
Reactions and Enzymes
Objectives
• What happens to chemical bonds
during chemical reactions?
• How do energy changes affect
whether a chemical reaction will
occur?
• Why are enzymes important to
living things?
The Big Idea
• Living things are made up of
chemical compounds
• Everything that happens to an
organism is based on chemical
reactions
Chemical Reactions
• A process that changes or
transforms one set of chemicals
into another
Reactants
• Elements or compounds that
enter into a reaction
Products
• Elements or compounds
produced by a chemical reaction
Example Reaction: Getting
rid of carbon dioxide
• In the blood
CO2 + H20  H2CO3 (carbonic acid)
• In the lungs
H2CO3  CO2 + H2O
Released as you
breathe

Products
Activation Energy
• The energy that is needed to get
a reaction started
Enzymes
• Some chemical reactions are too
slow or have activation energies
that are too high to make them
practical for living tissue
• These chemical reactions are
made possible by catalysts
Catalyst
• Substance that speeds up the
rate of chemical reactions
• Work by lowering a reactions
activation energy

•
Biological catalysts
Speed up reactions in cells

Named for the reaction it catylzes
Enzyme names always end in ase

as they are not denatured
