Themes of biology:

Life is based on the XX. A XX l is considered to be the smallest unit of life, and each cell contains within it a mechanism to pass information down to the next generation. 

-There are two main types of cells, XX cells do not have a nucleus they are very small, simple, but incredibly complex so the DNA is contained within the cell, but no XX.

-XX cells, a XX cell has a nucleus. The nucleus contains the genome, which is DNA, and a variety of specialized features inside the nucleus.

Energy and life, structure and function

-If an organism has a particular XX, like a wing, a particular type of enzyme, or a particular type of protein, that probably has a XX as well. 

-If you change it XX it may or may not XX like it did before. So structure and function go hand in hand. 

-Energy and life go hand and hand to keep us alive every day. Hummingbirds use incredible amounts of energy, as you probably know, highest metabolism of any animal. We need a lot of energy everyday. Why is it that if you dont have oxygen you cant make energy. Whats the connection?

Evolution is the Unifying Theory of Biology

  • The theory of evolution explains that in any population of organisms, including a population of a class or of the city where you live, there will be individuals that have natural XX XX

  • Depending on the resources that are available to that population, certain individuals may or may not have XX XX, depending on the XX they find themselves in.

  • We can XX some aspects of our environment, but not all. Organisms that do not have the technological abilities that we do to control some aspects of the environment have even less XX over this.

  • In any population, some individuals will be more XX XX than others over time.

  • This allows organisms to become extremely well-adapted to their environment, as long as that environment stays the way it is.

  • Evolution does not mean that one organism is simply XX or XX, or more XX or less XX, as an entity all by itself.

  • Instead, the environment that the organism finds itself in makes it possible for some individuals to have XX XX, XX, and survival than others.

  • The theory of evolution explains that in any population of organisms, including a population of a class or of the city where you live, there will be individuals that have natural hereditary variation.

  • Depending on the resources that are available to that population, certain individuals may or may not have reproductive success, depending on the environment they find themselves in.

  • We can control some aspects of our environment, but not all. Organisms that do not have the technological abilities that we do to control some aspects of the environment have even less control over this.

  • In any population, some individuals will be more reproductively successful than others over time.

  • This allows organisms to become extremely well-adapted to their environment, as long as that environment stays the way it is.

  • Evolution does not mean that one organism is simply better or worse, or more fit or less fit, as an entity all by itself.

  • Instead, the environment that the organism finds itself in makes it possible for some individuals to have better growth, reproduction, and survival than others.

The three domains of life:

-All life can be organized into three major domains. Two of those domains of life are XX, meaning that they are single cells with no nuclei. This includes the domain:XX, something like E-coli or salmonella. And a domain called the XX, and these are probably the first living organisms on the planet, they are single celled, no nucleus, but are much more related to eukaryotes they to prokaryotes.Examples of archae include salty lakes and boiling hot springs. The domain Archaea gave rise to the third domain, XX. We are in the domain XX. It includes animals, fungi, plants.

What is the chemical connection to Biology?

XX= made up of elements (one or more). Takes up mass and space. 

XX=the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element (ex:carbon, or oxygen)

XX=substance made entirely from one type of atom. 

XX=substance consisting of two or more elements in a fixed ratio (Co2)

A XX has emergent properties different from its individual elements. 

-XX, XX, XX, XX, make up 96.3% of all living organisms.

-The idea of emergent properties is that you would not have looked at these two and predicted that they were going to make this crystal solid material.

Ionic bond: when atoms XX electrons

-When you put a sodium atom uncharged next to a chlorine atom, chlorine has 17 electrons. That remains just one electron left in its outermost shell. If sodium lost that third shell it would then satisfy the octet rule. Sodium will lose an electron and its going to have ten electrons. Chlorine picks up an electron, and turns negative. These are now ions.

Covalent bonds:When atoms XX electrons 

Most atoms are in the middle, when they bond together they start sharing electrons a lot of that is because there is not much electronegativity. When hydrogen forms a covalent bond, the electronegativity is the XX. Ones not pulling more than the other, they are XX that electron. 


Methane and a lot of other lipids are mostly carbon molecules, so chains of carbon and hydrogen. Carbon has an electronegativity of 2.55, and hydrogen 2.20 the difference is very small so the electrons are generally pretty even across the atoms which leads to that XX activity. 


Nonpolar covalent bonds (H2,O2,CH4)=electrons shared XX. No one entity is pulling any XX on those electrons than the other.

Polar covalent bonds:

-Not all electrons are shared XX

-XXis an atoms attraction for the electrons in a covalent bond 

-Oxygen is the second most XX atom in the periodic table. In H20, Oxygen is more electronegative which makes the electrons hang out near oxygen more then oxygen which gives the oxygen end of the molecule whats called a partially XX. Hydrogen gets partially XX

-The more electronegative an atom, the more XX it pulls on XX XX

-Unequal sharing of electrons causes a partial positive or negative charge for each atom or molecule=XX XX XX 


Polar covalent bonds:

-Not all electrons are shared equally 

-Electronegativity is an atoms attraction for the electrons in a covalent bond 

-Oxygen is the second most electronegative atom in the periodic table. In H20, Oxygen is more electronegative which makes the electrons hang out near oxygen more then oxygen which gives the oxygen end of the molecule whats called a partially negative. Hydrogen gets partially positive. 

-The more electronegative an atom, the more strongly it pulls on shared electrons. 

-Unequal sharing of electrons causes a partial positive or negative charge for each atom or molecule=polar covalent bond

Water has high specific heat 

-Water resists XX XX because high specific heat (1 cal/g/c) and high heat vaporization minimize XX XX.

-if you think about a pool in may, water has to absorb a huge amount of energy from the sun. So even if you have a couple of hot days thats not going to be enough to make the pool really warm. Because most of the energy from the sun goes into just making the hydrogen bonds move around more quickly. 

-Water must absorb huge amounts of XX before changing temperature or undergoing a phase change. 

-Specific heat: heat absorbed or lost for X G of that substance to change its XX by 1 degree celsius. 

-Water has the highest heat of XX known (heat absorbed for 1 g to be converted to XX)

-XX XX: carries off heat energy to decrease temperature. 

XX XX is how much energy it takes to change the temperature of water in a very specific amount.

Sodium chloride in water

  • Sodium chloride has XX bonds.

  • The positively charged sodium is surrounded by the partially XX oxygen ends of water.

  • The negatively charged chloride is surrounded by the partially XX hydrogen ends of water.

  • Many water molecules pull the ions XX from each other, so the XX dissolves.

  • The sodium and chloride are still there, just separated and surrounded by XX.

Covalent molecules in water

  • Covalent bonds are extremely strong and usually can only be broken by XX or XX.

  • Water does not make a XX molecule fall apart into individual atoms.

  • Instead, water XX with the partially positive and partially negative parts of the molecule.

Proteins in water

  • Water forms hydrogen bonds with the XX parts of a XX.

  • Pretty soon, the protein is completely surrounded by water molecules.

  • This is called a hydration shell.

  • The protein stays together because its covalent bonds are not broken.

Main Difference

  • NaCl: the ions are XX XX and surrounded by XX/

  • Protein: the molecule stays XX but is surrounded by XX.

One way you can name hydrocarbons is by XX a two carbon compound is XX, a three carbon compound is XX, a four carbon compound is XX, five carbon compound is XX.

One way you can name hydrocarbons is by length a two carbon compound is ethane, a three carbon compound is propane, a four carbon compound is butane, five carbon compound is pentane. 

41
New cards

Another way you can describe a hydrocarbon is whether they XX or not. If they have the same number of atoms but are branched,  they are called XX of each other. They have the same chemical formula but a different XX of the atom. So butane has 4 carbons and 10 hydrogens, so the chemical formula is C4H1. Isobutane is an isomer of butane, instead of having all four carbons in a long line, you have one of them sticking up as a branch.

Enantiomers is when you have a molecule that has a XX carbon atom, they have the same number of XX but the atoms are arranged in  mirror image configuration. You know that your left and right hands are mirror images of each other. Compounds or isomers that are mirror image they can only come together if you fold them toward each other, you cant superimpose them.

Enantiomers are important in the pharmaceutical industry 

-two enantiomers of a drug may have different effects. Structure=function

-Usually only one isomer or enantiomer is biologically active.

The Miller-Urey Experiment:

Stanley miller and harold urey stimulated reducing atmosphere conditions on the early earth. 

Organic compounds may have been synthesized

abiotically (before XX XX) on the early Earth,

setting the stage for the origin of life

-To stimulate conditions that would have been present on the early earth and then see what kinds of molecules were available. They took gases that they were thought to exist, they took methane and ammonia, water and hydrogen gas. When they added lightening they broke the covalent bonds between carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and between the two hydrogens. After two days they found urea which is an organic compound, they were able to show that amino caids could be formed after two days. When they added CO2, ribose which is one of the two sugars in DNA AND RNA was made then they got over 20 amino acids. 

-Their conclusion was not, we have created life. They showed that you could create all the building blocks for life using conditions that were easily imagined on the early earth. They concluded that organic compounds can be synthesized in the absence of a living organism to make them.

Something that is just carbon-hydrogen in the right proportions thats a great organic molecule, but as a hydrocarbon like that, just carbon and hydrogen its not going to be soluble in water. Theres nothing that it would interact with a polar water molecule. A functional group is a chemical group thats added to a hydrocarbon molecule to give it some additional properties. A main property is water solubility or just polarity.

They come in two types, if the C double bond O is at the very end of an organic molecule you would call it an XX. If its not at the end but centered somewhere in the middle or just anywhere thats not the end you call it a XX. XX and XX are examples. Glucose is an XX, sugar. XX is a ketone sugar.</span></p>
