Basic Chemistry

…. But this is Biology?????

Trace elements?

What are the most common elements in ALL living things

Symptom of an iodine deficiency

Iron deficiency?

Fluorine deficiency?

Locations and charges of protons?

Neutrons?Electrons?

Structure of an atom (its subatomic particles)

Atomic number

Atomic mass

Atomic Mass vs. Atomic Number?????

What is an isotope?

Cancerous throat tissue

Isotopes use to diagnose disease

Give a molecule similar to glucose that has a radioactive tag

PET scan picks up the released radiation and detects areas of high metabolism

Radioactive iodine

High doses can treat thyroid cancerSmall doses used to test thyroid function.

shows the concentration of radioactive tracer bound to monoamine oxidase B (MAO B). Red shows the highest concentration.

MAO B is important because it breaks down the chemicals that allow nerve cells to communicate and regulate blood pressure.

What causes an atom to react with other atom? Or… would cause it to be nonreactive (stable)?

Ionic Bond

(–) (–)

(+) (+)

Hydrogen bond

Strong attraction for electrons

Cohesion of water → water sticking to itself

• Does this because of hydrogen bonding

• Results in water having surface tension– “film” on top of

Transpiration

• Uses cohesion and adhesion to move water from the roots to top of a tree

Adhesion of waterTo cells of xylem

Cohesion of water to itself

Adhesion → water sticking to something else

Meniscus

Temperature moderation

Water resists changes in temperature

Water can absorb and release a lot of thermal energy with a small change in temperature

ex: lake temperatures

Feb: 15.7° FJuly: 70.4 ° F

Feb: 44.3° FJuly: 65.3 ° F

moderate temperatures at coasts

ex: evaporative cooling

-when water evaporates from our skin, it takes a lot of thermal energy with it

Density

Water is densest at 4° C

Ice is less dense than liquid water

Provides insulation and allows wildlife to survive under a layer of ice

Ice floats

Water is an almost universal solvent

Ionic compounds (like salt) will dissolve in water

Polar molecules will dissolve in water(sugar)

In a solution the SOLVENT is the substance in a greater amount

The SOLUTE is the substance present in a lesser amount

Glucose

• A few water molecules can break apart into ions– hydrogen ions (H+)– hydroxide ions (OH–)

• Acids vs. bases– An acid is anything that INCREASES the

relative concentration of H+– A base is anything that DECREASES the

relative concentration of H+• Either by adding OH- or removing H+

• A pH scale (pH = potential of hydrogen) is used to describe whether a solution is acidic or basic– pH ranges from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most

basic)– A solution that is neither acidic or basic is

neutral (pH = 7)

Acidic solution

pH scale

Battery acid

Lemon juice, gastric juice

Grapefruit juice, soft drink,vinegar, beer

Tomato juice

Rain water

Human urine

Saliva

Pure water

Human blood,tears

Seawater

Milk of magnesia

Household ammonia

Household bleach

Oven cleaner

Neutral solution

Basic solution

NEUTRAL[H+]=OH–]

Logarithmic scaleChange in one

unit on pH scale = 10 x change in hydrogen ion concentration

Solution A has a pH = 4Solution B has a pH = 2

How much more acidic is Solution B?

Solution C has a pH = 9Solution D has a pH = 12

How much more H+ ions does solution C have compared to solution D?

Why is pH important?

• Different areas of the body have different pH values– Ex: stomach

• If the pH varies from this value, proteins lose their shape and don’t work

Molecules that can accept or release H+→ resist change in pH

Are usually weak acid/base pairs
