Chapter 2 - Chemistry of Life
This document provides information on the structure and composition of matter. It discusses the basic units that make up all matter including atoms, elements, molecules, compounds, and mixtures. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Elements are composed of only one type of atom, while compounds contain at least two elements chemically bonded together. Chemical and physical properties depend on how atoms are arranged and bonded. The document also covers states of matter, chemical reactions, energy, and the role of catalysts like enzymes in biological reactions.
Biology - Chp 2 - The Chemistry Of Life - PowerPoint
The document discusses the basic chemistry concepts that are essential for life, including the structure of atoms and molecules, chemical bonds, and chemical reactions. It also examines the organic compounds that are important for living things like carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Furthermore, the document explains how enzymes are important biological catalysts that allow chemical reactions to occur efficiently in living cells.
Properties of Compounds - Ionic, Covalent and Metallic
Ionic compounds are crystalline solids that have high melting points and dissolve in water. They have high melting points because opposite charges attract in strong ionic bonds, requiring a lot of energy to separate ions. They dissolve in water because water molecules are polar and attract ions, breaking up the crystal lattice. Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten or dissolved as ions are then free to move but not as solids where ions are tightly bound. Metallic bonding involves metal atoms giving electrons to a "sea of electrons" allowing conductivity and properties like malleability. The key differences between compounds are that ionic compounds conduct when dissolved, metals conduct when solid, and covalent compounds do not conduct or dissolve.

Elements, Compounds and Mixtures
This presentation by Hooria Shahzad is about elements,compounds and mixtures. About their properties, composition and their differences.
Ions cations and anions
Ions are atoms that have gained or lost electrons, giving them an electrical charge. Atoms that lose electrons become positively charged cations, while atoms that gain electrons become negatively charged anions. The number of protons and neutrons remain the same in an ion, only the number of electrons changes. Ionic bonding occurs through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while covalent bonding involves the sharing of electron pairs between two atoms. Sodium chloride is an example of ionic bonding through electron transfer, while an oxygen molecule is held together by covalent bonding from shared electron pairs.

Lewis dot diagrams
Lewis dot diagrams show the localization of valence electrons in atoms and molecules. They are drawn by placing the chemical symbol of each atom and then arranging electrons around the symbols to achieve full octets. For molecules, the least electronegative atom is placed in the center and single bonds are drawn between atoms before distributing remaining electrons. The octet rule is followed to maximize each atom's valence electrons to 8, with exceptions for hydrogen and some other elements. Practice examples are provided to demonstrate drawing Lewis dot diagrams for different atoms and molecules.
balancing equations.ppt
The document discusses reactants and products in chemical reactions. Reactants are the starting chemicals, written on the left side of the equation. Products are the chemicals formed, written on the right side. According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass and number of each type of atom is the same before and after the reaction. Chemical equations must be balanced so that the same number and types of atoms are on each side. This can be done by adjusting the coefficients but not the subscripts. Examples are provided to demonstrate balancing equations using a "T-chart" method.
13 isotopes
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element can have different mass numbers depending on their number of neutrons. The atomic mass listed on the periodic table is an average that takes into account the relative abundances of each isotope of that element. Atomic mass calculations involve multiplying the mass and abundance percentage of each isotope and adding them together.

Nutrition topic in biology lesson by dr. martin otundo richard
Nutrition refers to the process by which living organisms obtain nutrients. There are two main modes of nutrition - autotrophic and heterotrophic. Autotrophs, like plants, can make their own food using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, taking simple substances like water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight and converting them into glucose and oxygen. Heterotrophs, like animals, cannot produce their own food and obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms. Photosynthesis takes place in plant leaves and involves two stages: the light reaction where sunlight is absorbed to make ATP and NADPH, and the dark reaction where carbon dioxide is fixed using the ATP and NADPH to produce glucose.
Ch06organelles2
Cells have organelles that perform essential functions like generating energy, breaking down waste, and reproducing. Lysosomes digest macromolecules and remove cellular waste. Mitochondria and chloroplasts generate ATP through cellular respiration and photosynthesis respectively, and have double membranes and DNA resembling bacteria. This supports the endosymbiotic theory that they originally evolved from engulfed bacteria. Vacuoles and vesicles transport materials within the cell, and peroxisomes help break down fatty acids and detoxify the cell.
Biochem
This document provides an overview of important biomolecules and their structures and functions. It discusses that organic compounds in cells contain carbon and functional groups. The four major classes of biological molecules are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. These molecules are often polymers formed from linking simple monomers together. Carbohydrates function in energy storage, lipids in energy storage and signaling, proteins in structure and function, and nucleic acids in information storage and transfer. Molecular structure determines biological function.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts ppt
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are organelles that convert energy into forms cells can use. Mitochondria generate ATP from glucose through cellular respiration, while chloroplasts generate ATP and carbohydrates from sunlight through photosynthesis. Both organelles have double membranes, generate ATP, are semi-autonomous, and contain their own DNA, ribosomes and enzymes. Mitochondria reside in almost all eukaryotic cells and are more numerous in active cells like muscle and nerve cells. Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and algae and contain chlorophyll. The endosymbiotic theory proposes that mitochondria and chloroplasts originated as free-living bacteria that were engulfed and formed a symbiotic relationship with ancient
Biomolecules
Here are the key points about lipids:
- Lipids are organic compounds that are relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They serve important structural and energy storage functions.
- The main types of lipids include fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids.
- Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats and oils. They are long hydrocarbon chains that can be saturated or unsaturated.
- Triglycerides are composed of fatty acids attached to a glycerol backbone. They are the main form of energy storage in animals.
- Phospholipids are a major component of cell membranes. They have a glycerol backbone with two fatty acids and
Respiration in Plants (Types)
1) Respiration in plants involves the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to release energy and produce carbon dioxide and water. It helps plants produce food and energy for growth, development and other functions.
2) There are two types of respiration - aerobic respiration which occurs in the presence of oxygen and yields more energy, and anaerobic respiration which occurs without oxygen and yields less energy.
3) Fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration that produces ethanol, lactic acid or other products, and involves glycolysis but not the Krebs cycle or electron transport chain. It is used commercially in producing foods and chemicals.
