Elements and Compounds
Elements and Compounds
Elements’ properties and the structure of their atoms
• Atomic Number:
• Number of protons= number of
electrons in a neutral atom
• Atomic Mass:
• Number of protons + neutrons
• Isotopes
• Radioactive tracers
Elements’ properties and the structure of their atoms
• Electron shells of the
first 18 elements of
the periodic table.
Elements’ properties and the structure of their atoms
• Electron Orbitals:
• Chemical Bonds:
• Strong Bonds
• Covalent Bonds
• Ionic Bonds
• Weak Bonds
• Hydrogen Bond
• Van Der Waals interactions
Molecules and their formation and function
• Covalent Bond: is the sharing of
a pair of valence electrons by
two atoms.
• Most of the strongest chemical
bonds are covalent bonds,
which link atoms to form a
cell’s molecules.
Molecules and their formation and function
• Ionic Bond: involves
the electrostatic
attraction between
oppositely charged ions,
and is the primary
interaction occurring in
ionic compounds.
• Charged ions can be:
• Positive (Cation)
• Negative (Anion)
Molecules and their formation and function
• Hydrogen bonds: When a
hydrogen atom is covalently
bonded to an electronegative
atom, the hydrogen atom has a
partial positive charge that allows
it to be attracted to a different
electronegative atom nearby.
• In living cells, the electronegative
partners are usually oxygen or
nitrogen atoms.
Molecules and their formation and function
• Van Der Waals interactions:
Occur only when atoms and
molecules are very close
together. Ever-changing regions
of positive and negative charge
enable all atoms and molecules
to stick to one another.
Molecules and their formation and function
• Van der Waals interactions,
hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and
other weak interactions may
form not only between molecules
but also between parts of a large
molecule, such as a protein.
Molecules and their formation and function
Chemical reactions and chemical bonds
Carbon
• The backbone of life
• Organic chemistry
• Study of carbon compounds
Formation of bonds with Carbon
Formation of bonds with Carbon
Formation of bonds with Carbon
• Carbon skeleton and
molecular diversity:
• hydrocarbons, organic
molecules consisting of only
carbon and hydrogen
• Hydrocarbons are the major
components of petroleum,
which is called a fossil fuel
because it consists of the
partially decomposed
remains of organisms that
lived millions of years ago.
Isomers
• Isomers are compounds
that have the same
numbers of atoms of the
same elements but
different structures and
hence different properties.
• Isomers:
• Structural isomers
• Cis-trans isomers
• Enantiomers
The Molecules of Life
• Carbohydrates
• Lipids
• Proteins
• Nucleic acid
Polymers vs monomers
• Synthesis or breakdown of
polymers:
• E.g: ATP
• E.g: GTP
Carbohydrates – Fuel and Building material
• Carbohydrates include sugars
and polymers of sugars.
• Monomers joined by covalent
bond
• Variety of forms:
• Monosaccharides
• Disaccharides
• Oligosaccharides
• Polysaccharides
Carbohydrates – Monosaccharides
• Generally have molecular formulas
that are some multiple of the unit
CH2O e.g: Glucose (C6H12O6)
Carbohydrates – Disaccharides
• Consists of two monosaccharides
joined by a glycosidic linkage, a
covalent bond formed between
two monosaccharides by a
dehydration reaction (glyco refers
to carbohydrate).
Carbohydrates – Disaccharides
Carbohydrates – Oligosaccharides
• An oligosaccharide is a
saccharide polymer
containing a small number
of monosaccharides
(typically 3-10)
• Oligosaccharides can have
many functions including
cell recognition and cell
binding.
Carbohydrates – Polysaccharides
• Polymers with a few
hundred to a few thousand
monosaccharides joined
by glycosidic linkages.
• Functions:
• Storage Materials
• In plants: starch
• In animals: Glycogen – stored
mainly in liver and muscle
cells
• Building Materials
• Cellulose
Carbohydrates – Polysaccharides

2 - Chemical Composition of the Cell - part 1

  • 1. The Chemistry of Life (Part One) University of Tehran Ahmad V.Kashani, PhD
  • 2. Outlines • Chemical composition of life: • Elements and compounds • Elements’ properties and the structure of the atoms • Molecules and their formation and function • Chemical reactions and chemical bonds • Formation of bonds with Carbon • Carbon: The backbone of Life • Hydrocarbons and Isomers • The molecules of Life • Polymers vs monomers
  • 3. Outlines • The molecules of Life • Carbohydrates • Monosaccharides • Disaccharides • Oligosaccharides • Polysaccharides • Lipids • Proteins • Nucleic acid
  • 6. Elements’ properties and the structure of their atoms • Atomic Number: • Number of protons= number of electrons in a neutral atom • Atomic Mass: • Number of protons + neutrons • Isotopes • Radioactive tracers
  • 7. Elements’ properties and the structure of their atoms • Electron shells of the first 18 elements of the periodic table.
  • 8. Elements’ properties and the structure of their atoms • Electron Orbitals:
  • 9. • Chemical Bonds: • Strong Bonds • Covalent Bonds • Ionic Bonds • Weak Bonds • Hydrogen Bond • Van Der Waals interactions Molecules and their formation and function
  • 10. • Covalent Bond: is the sharing of a pair of valence electrons by two atoms. • Most of the strongest chemical bonds are covalent bonds, which link atoms to form a cell’s molecules. Molecules and their formation and function
  • 11. • Ionic Bond: involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds. • Charged ions can be: • Positive (Cation) • Negative (Anion) Molecules and their formation and function
  • 12. • Hydrogen bonds: When a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to an electronegative atom, the hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge that allows it to be attracted to a different electronegative atom nearby. • In living cells, the electronegative partners are usually oxygen or nitrogen atoms. Molecules and their formation and function
  • 13. • Van Der Waals interactions: Occur only when atoms and molecules are very close together. Ever-changing regions of positive and negative charge enable all atoms and molecules to stick to one another. Molecules and their formation and function
  • 14. • Van der Waals interactions, hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and other weak interactions may form not only between molecules but also between parts of a large molecule, such as a protein. Molecules and their formation and function
  • 15. Chemical reactions and chemical bonds
  • 16. Carbon • The backbone of life • Organic chemistry • Study of carbon compounds
  • 17. Formation of bonds with Carbon
  • 18. Formation of bonds with Carbon
  • 19. Formation of bonds with Carbon • Carbon skeleton and molecular diversity: • hydrocarbons, organic molecules consisting of only carbon and hydrogen • Hydrocarbons are the major components of petroleum, which is called a fossil fuel because it consists of the partially decomposed remains of organisms that lived millions of years ago.
  • 20. Isomers • Isomers are compounds that have the same numbers of atoms of the same elements but different structures and hence different properties. • Isomers: • Structural isomers • Cis-trans isomers • Enantiomers
  • 21. The Molecules of Life • Carbohydrates • Lipids • Proteins • Nucleic acid
  • 22. Polymers vs monomers • Synthesis or breakdown of polymers: • E.g: ATP • E.g: GTP
  • 23. Carbohydrates – Fuel and Building material • Carbohydrates include sugars and polymers of sugars. • Monomers joined by covalent bond • Variety of forms: • Monosaccharides • Disaccharides • Oligosaccharides • Polysaccharides
  • 24. Carbohydrates – Monosaccharides • Generally have molecular formulas that are some multiple of the unit CH2O e.g: Glucose (C6H12O6)
  • 25. Carbohydrates – Disaccharides • Consists of two monosaccharides joined by a glycosidic linkage, a covalent bond formed between two monosaccharides by a dehydration reaction (glyco refers to carbohydrate).
  • 27. Carbohydrates – Oligosaccharides • An oligosaccharide is a saccharide polymer containing a small number of monosaccharides (typically 3-10) • Oligosaccharides can have many functions including cell recognition and cell binding.
  • 28. Carbohydrates – Polysaccharides • Polymers with a few hundred to a few thousand monosaccharides joined by glycosidic linkages. • Functions: • Storage Materials • In plants: starch • In animals: Glycogen – stored mainly in liver and muscle cells • Building Materials • Cellulose
  • 30. Summary • Chemical composition of life: • Elements and compounds • Elements’ properties and the structure of the atoms • Molecules and their formation and function • Chemical reactions and chemical bonds • Formation of bonds with Carbon • Carbon: The backbone of Life • Hydrocarbons and Isomers • The molecules of Life • Polymers vs monomers
  • 31. Summary • The molecules of Life • Carbohydrates • Monosaccharides • Disaccharides • Oligosaccharides • Polysaccharides
