Simple Chemistry Simple Chemistry All organisms are composed of matter- which is anything that takes
up space and has mass Matter is made up of elements and compounds
An element is a substance that cannot be broken down to other
substances by chemical reactions there are 92 elements A compound is is substance made up of two or more different
elements combined in a fixed ratio. (they have emergent properties- a compound will have different characteristics then its elements )

AtomsAtoms
An elements properties depend on the structure of its atoms
So atoms, are the baisic building blocks of matter. They are the smallest unit
Atoms are composed of even smaller particles called- subatomic particles These are
Protons- positively charged Neutrons- neutrally charged Electrons- (e-) negatively charged

Isotopes Isotopes A version of
an element with a different amount of neutrons and mass then a normal atom, are often radioactive

IonsIons Ions are atoms
that have missing electrons (cations, or positive ions) or have extra electrons (anions, or negative ions)

MoleculesMolecules
The formation and function of molecules depend on chemical bonding between atoms.
Molecules are two or more atoms that are joined together by a bond ( or a pair of bonds) Chemical bonds- atoms combine to form molecules and
ionic compounds. Atoms with incomplete valence shells can interact with certain other atoms in such a way that each partner completes its valence shell. These interactions usually result in atoms staying close together- held by attractions called chemical bonds - the strongest
chemical bonds are covalent and ionic bonds.

Ionic and covalentIonic and covalent Ionic- attraction between
oppositely charged ions (they give and take
electrons; if they give- they are positive ions, if they take- they are negative ions)
Covalent- equal sharing of electrons so atoms stay close together- they are very stable.( If they are somewhat unequal- they are called polar covalent bonds. If they are equal they are nonpolar covalent bonds )

HYDROGEN BONDSHYDROGEN BONDS Hydrogen bonds- are weak attractions between the slightly
positive H of one molecule, and the slightly negative O of a different molecule.
They are weak on their own, but there are hundreds of
thousands of H bonds in larger molecules.

CarbohydratesCarbohydrates CARBOHYDRATES EX: glucose (the most common monosaccharide), sucrose, cellulose, starch,
most things that end in “ose” monosaccharides are single/simple sugars, disaccharides are double sugars
(made up of 2 monosaccharides, polysaccharides are comprised of many monosacharides

(made up of 2 monosaccharides, polysaccharides are comprised of many monosacharides
Sugars consist of carbon rings that range in size from 3-7 carbons long sugars bind with a dehydration synthesis, called glycosidic linkages Sugars are a more easily accessible energy source than fats because they are
easier to break down, however, they store less energy per kilogram than fats do organisms can build strong materials from sugars, ex. cellulose makes plant cell
walls, chitin is used in exoskeletons

NUCLEIC ACIDSNUCLEIC ACIDS
Ex: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), ATP
DNA and RNA are designed to store information and instructions of how to build proteins
ATP is a temporary store of energy Made out of nucleotides

There are two types of nitrogenous bases: purines and pyrimidines pyrimidines have a 6 carbon ring and are cytosine, thymine, and
uracil purines have a 6 carbon ring bound to a 5 carbon ring and are
adenine and guanine Purines only bind to pyrimidines and versa visa, a purine can’t bind
to a purine and a pyrimidine can't bind to a pyrimidine in DNA because of size differences
In DNA Adenine bonds with Thymine and Guanine bonds with Cytosine
in RNA Uracil replaces Thymine In a DNA double helix, the nucleotide pairs are held together by
hydrogen bonds

nucleotides are made out of: a phosphate group carbon sugar (deoxyribose and ribose) 1 of 5 nitrogen bases: Adenine, Guanine,
Cytosin, Thymine (DNA only), Uracil (RNA only)

PROTEINSPROTEINS simple building blocks of amino acids which consist of:
an amino group carboxyl group and one of 20 different “R” or side groups
amino acids are bound together by peptide bonds between a carboxyl and amino group
there are four levels of structure: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quartenary

LIPIDS AND FATSLIPIDS AND FATS made up of two parts: glycerol and fatty acid tails
sometimes they also consist of a phosphate head the glycerol portion is an alcohol with three carbons, each with their
own hydrogen group attached to one of the hydrogen groups can be a fatty acid, these two
groups are linked by a dehydration synthesis They form Ester Bonds because there is an oxygen with a carbon on
opposite sides of it

attached to one of the hydrogen groups can be a fatty acid, these two groups are linked by a dehydration synthesis
They form Ester Bonds because there is an oxygen with a carbon on opposite sides of it
the fatty acid tail(s) consists of 16 or 18 carbons bonded with hydrogens
Each fat usually consists of the glycerol and either three fatty acids (called triacylglycerol fats) or two fatty acids and a phosphate head (called phospholipids)
there are two subcategories of saturated and unsaturated saturated fatty acids are “saturated with hydrogen,” because each
carbon on the fatty acid tail is bonded to two hydrogens(excluding the last carbon which is bound to three hydrogens)
If a fatty acid is not saturated with hydrogen then it is called an unsaturated fatty acid and will haveone or more double bonds between carbons, this creates a bend and therefore the fat takes up more space

purpose of fats is to store energy, insulate heat, form membranes, and be hormones and vitamins
fats dont mix well with water because of their fatty acid tails which are hydrophobic (meaning that they repel water)
PHOSPHOLIPIDS make up cell membranes the phosphate heads are hydrophilic, contrary to their hydrophobic heads in membranes, there is a phospholipid bilayer with the hydrophilic heads out
and hydrophobic tails in steroids are lipids with four carbon rings steroids are often differentiable because of attached groups onto one of the
rings

EnzymesEnzymes An EMZYME= a protein molecule that is a bilogical catalyst
with three characteristics. 1) the basic function is to increase the rate of reaction 2) most enzymes act specifically with only one reactant
(SUBSTRATE) to produce products 3) enzymes regulate from a state of low activity to high
activity, and vice versa. Proteins usually end in names with “ase” ( lipase-
catalyzes hydrolysis of lipid triglyceride)
