Element Made up of Atoms Cannot be broken down into simpler substances Examples Hydrogen Carbon Oxygen
Atom Smallest particle of an element
Atom Components Nucleus: Center of the atom
Compound Made up of chemically combined elements Can be broken down into its elements Water is an example, made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom CO2 H2O NaCl
How Many Atoms… Are in Glucose? • C6H12O6 • 6 + 12 + 6 =24 • 24 atoms
Covalent Bond Formed when two atoms share electrons HINT: Covalent = Co Captain shares duties or Co-Pilot shares duties
Ionic Bond Attractive force between two ions of opposite charges Ions are negatively and positively charged
Hydrogen Bond Weak chemical bonds involving Hydrogen
Polar Molecule Molecule with unequal distribution of charge Example: Water HINT: Unequal
Diffusion Net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration High to Low
Dynamic Equilibrium Continuous movement but no overall change in concentration HINT: Think of a treadmill
Metabolism All of the chemical reactions that take place within an organism. Example: • Eating- the food we eat is turned into energy
pH Measures how acidic or basic Acid: forms hydrogen ions in water H+ • Below 7 Base: forms hydroxide ions OH- in water • Above 7
Warm-Up What do you call a substance made of 2 or more elements? Atoms protons compounds a.
Four Types of Organic Compounds that Make up Living Things Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids
Carbohydrates • Composed of carbon, hydrogen, & oxygen • CHO • Sugars and Starches (energy sources) • Starch comes from plants-mainly grains & potatoes • Monosaccharide – mono = 1, saccharide = sugar • Ex. Fructose, Glucose • Disaccharide • Ex. Sucrose – Table Sugar • Polysaccaride • Ex. Starch, glycogen, cellulose
Lipids • Composed of carbon, hydrogen, & oxygen • CHO • Energy Storage • Insoluble in water and Nonpolar. • Fats, Oils, Waxes and steroids
Proteins • Composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen • CHON • Provide structure for tissues & organs • Abundant in muscle • Amino Acids – building blocks of protein 20 common amino acids • Peptide Bond – covalent bond between amino acids • Ex. Enzyme – changes the rate of chemical reaction
Enzymes • A.K.A.-Catalysts • Speed up reactions • Lock & Key • Temperature and pH impact shape of enzyme • Usually end in “ASE” • VIDEO
Nucleic Acids • Polymers are made of subunits called nucleotides • Nucleotides: consist of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus • Example: DNA, RNA • Genetic material
