Chemical Reactions involve which of the following: 1. random collisions of the reactants 2. the removal of protons from one or more chemicals 3. keeping all the same bonds in the reactants 4. Catalyst is required a) “1” only c) “1” and “3” b) “4” only d) “1” and “4” e) “1,” “2,” and “4” Chemical and Physical Bases of Life ACIDS AND BASES Acids: Bases: • pH scale = Range = 7 = Neutral 1-7 = Acidic 7-14 = Alkaline IMPORTANCE: Soils Movement of Chemicals DIFFUSION ACTIVE TRANSPORT • Energy • Protein Carrier Molecule • Low High OSMOSIS Chemical and Physical Bases of Life CHEMICAL COMPONENTS OF CELLS About 96% of a cell is: Categorizing Chemicals • INORGANIC – Examples: • ORGANIC – BIOCHEMICALS Chemical and Physical Bases of Life BIOCHEMICALS … Polymers - • Monomers PRACTICE QUESTIONS The movement of a substance from a higher concentration to a lower concentrations is called ___________. Name the 4 elements which make up the majority of a living organisms: ___ ___ ___ ___ Organic Chemicals always have a framework made of ___________. A small subunit that is used to make a polymer is called a(an) ____________. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates most abundant • Elements: • Ratio of Elements: • General Function: • TYPES • Monosaccharides - Simple sugars Structure Examples: • Disaccharides: • Examples • Polysaccharides: • Structure: • Examples – Starch = coils of glucose molecules o Function: – Cellulose = unbranched chain of glucose molecules o Function Lipids Lipids: • General Function: • Contain Elements: • Element Ratios: • Fats and oils are produced from one molecule of glycerol and three fatty acid molecules. • Most fatty acids consist of: Structure of a fat molecule – Saturated - – Unsaturated - Waxes - long-chain fatty acids bonded to a long chain alcohol • Location & Function in Plants: Phospholipids - Constructed like fats, but one of the fatty acids is replaced by a phosphate group • Function: PRACTICE QUESTIONS What Biochemical does not mix with water? _____________ What Biochemical has a ratio of 1 C: 1 O: 2 H ? _____________ A Phospholipid differs from a Fat molecule in that is has a Phosphate and ____ Fatty acids. Starch in plants functions in what: a) storage form of energy b) as an enzyme c) as an insulation in leaves Proteins, Polypeptides, and Amino Acids Proteins: - General Functions: - Contain Elements: • Polypeptides: simplest form; are composed of: – Each amino acid is composed of: Repeats of CCN o Amino group (-NH2) o Carboxyl group (-COOH) o R group Structure of amino acid, glycine Proteins, Polypeptides, and Amino Acids Polypeptide Structure • Primary Structure • Secondary Structure – Formation of an alpha helix or of pleated sheets due to: Proteins, Polypeptides, and Amino Acids Polypeptide Structure • Tertiary Structure • Quaternary Structure Protein Types According to Functions Structural Storage Movement Transport and Carrier Enzymes Enzymes Enzymes • Breaking bonds: • Increase reaction rates • Lower the energy needed for a chemical reactions to occur– Energy of activation • Active Site: Enzymes Enzymes temporarily bond with substrate. • Substrate fits into active site of enzyme. • Reaction occurs rapidly and products are released. • Enzyme remains unchanged and capable of catalyzing another reaction.
