  1. The CHEMISTRY of LIFE

  2. Elementswhich is necessaryforhuman body.. • Thereare 90 elements, about 40 of themarefound in human body. • C,H, O, N  Majorelements, 96% • Ca, Fe, Co lesserelements.

  3. Majorcompoundsfor life

  4. Majorcompoundsfor life a) Organıccompounds b) Inorganıccompounds Minerals Acid, base, salt water • Carbohydrates • Lipids • Proteins • Vitamins • Nucleicacids

  5. Majorcompoundsfor life

  6. Minerals Theyaresimplesubstancesthatdon’thavesubunits. Theyarenatural.

  7. 1) carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nytrogen • They form thestructure of organiccompounds.

  8. 2) Calcium (Ca) • Itjoinsthestructure of boneandteethand is found in milk, egg, yogurt. • Inthedeficiency, ricketis seen in children.

  9. 3) Iron (Fe) • Itjoinsthestructure of hemoglobinand is found in yellowegg, spinach. • Inthedeficiency, anemia is seen.

  10. 4) Magnessium (Mg) It is importantforchlorophyllstructure

  11. 5) Zinc (Zn) • Itprovideshairextension; in thedeficiency, hairfallsoff. • It is takenintothe body bygreenpepper

  12. 6) Iodine ( I ) Itjoinsthestructure of thyroxin; in thedeficiencygoiter is seen.

  13. You can take it intoyour body withonion, garlic, fish, orsaltswithiodine.

  14. 7) Sodium (Na+ ) , Chlorine (Cl- ) Produceelectricitywithneurons (braincells).

  15. 8) Mo, Mg, Ca, Cu • Theyjointhestructure of enzymes

  16. 2) Electrolysis (acid, base, salt) • pH amount of the H+ions inside of thewater

  17. Acid Acidsgivehydrogenionsintothewater; it is usedto break downsubstances. (lemon, orange, vinegar, greenleafareacidstructure)

  18. Base İt gives OH-ion s intothewater. İt is usedtoincreasepH. Soaps, detergents, toothpastearebasestructure.

  19. Jonathan Gershenzon Jonathan Gershenzon Salt acid salt water Base

  20. Salt • One of thecompoundsformedfromthereaction of an acidwith a base. • Itbalancesthebloodpressure, soregulatesthetension.

  21. Water • the %72 of water in human body.

  22. Water • Iftherewasn’tanywater, thereactionthatnecessaryfor life, would stop. • Watershould be kept inside of the body. Losingtomuchwaterwithsweatordiarrhea is dangerous.

  23. Water Water is an envirnmentforsomeinsects.

  24. Water • Water is a goodsolventforsugar, protein, biochemicalreactions. • This is onlyreasonthatweuseglucose.

  25. Water • İcepoint ooC boilingpoint 100oC This is optimum rangeforhuman body. Itplaysthe role forregulatingtemperature of humanbysweating.

  26. Water • Allmattersexpandwithheatandbecomewithcold. • Forwater, however, it is oppositesituation. Duetocontinue of life withinthewater.

  27. Cohesion, adhesion

  28. Cohesion, adhesion Cohesion watersticktoitselfbyhyrogenbonding, can createsurfacetension. Adhesion watersticktootherthings.

  29. The estimated age of this tree is around 2,300-2,700 years old
