chemistry is our life... just prepared for a competition to explain the role of chemistry behind our birth, and received first prize :)

1. HOW WERE WE BORN??
CHEMISTRY BEHIND THE CREATION OF LIFE

2. BIOLOGICAL CONCEPT

3. Have you ever wondered about
what are these made up of ??

4. Sperms
Sperms are largely
made up of
proteins and water..
protein and water
forms the chemistry
here!!!

5. PROTEINS
• Proteins are bio polymers
• It consist of long chain amino acid residue connected through
peptide linkage
• Thus, the proteins are made up of Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon
and hydrogen. These are nothing but the chemical elements.

6. OVUM
The largest cells in the
human body
It consist of cytoplasm and
mitochondria.

7. Cytoplasm
 The Cytoplasm is the fluid that fills a cell
 The cytoplasm has two major elements: the cytosol and inclusions.
 CYTOSOL : It makes up about 70% of the cell volume and is composed of water, salts
and organic molecules.
 INCLUSIONS: It contains granules of energy-storage materials such as starch,
glycogen, or polyhydroxybutyrate.

8. Mitochondria
 Their main job is energy conversion
 These convert glucose into energy by chemical known as ATP
 Here, Adenosine triphosphate is also a chemical that contains
phosphorous, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen

9. How Sperm is pushed towards ovum??
 Sperm is pushed towards ovum by cervical mucus, which is made up of
90% of water.
 Water is a chemical compound, which contains hydrogen and oxygen

10. Fertilization
 The sperm and ovum contains their own 23 single chromosomes before
combining.
 When the sperm and ovum transfers their 23 single chromosomes, it get
paired up forming 23 pairs of chromosomes.
 These chromosomes are known as genetic blueprints, because they
contain the DNA.
 DNA is known as DEOXY RIBONUCLEIS ACID

11. DNA
 The molecules that encodes the genetic instructions.
 It is a nucleic acid.
 The simpler units of DNA are known as nucleotide, which contains base
pairs.
 Base pairs: guanine-cytosine and adenine-thymine
 The elements here are nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen and
oxygen.

12. BIRTH – The Creation of Life
Thus a human body is composed mainly of
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen.
WITHOUT CHEMISTRY NOTHING CAN EXIST!!

13. THANK YOU !!!
