2. Inorganic compounds are compounds that don’t
contain C and H together.
Inorganic compounds that are important for
living organisms include water, oxygen, carbon
dioxide, nitrogen and minerals.

3. 1. Water
2. Oxygen and carbon dioxide
3. Electrolytes

6. Water is a Polar Molecule
Water molecules are
polar.
Polar = has a positive
side and a negative side.
The negative part of a
water molecule is
attracted to the positive
part of another.

7. Water Forms Hydrogen Bonds
The bonds formed between water
molecules are called hydrogen
bond
Hydrogen bonds between
molecules of water is what causes
water’s surface tension

8.  In most living organisms, oxygen is
needed to release energy from food
molecules. Organisms can get oxygen
from breathing air or from water.
 Organisms find it more difficult to get
oxygen from water so they tend to be
small, flat and relatively inactive or they
are highly adapted with organs like gills
to aid extraction.

9.  Carbon is an extremely important part
of all living things and needs to be
cycled through ecosystems.
 Carbon dioxide is the main source of
carbon for the production of the
organic molecules from which living
organisms are built.

10. 1) Acids and Bases
2) Buffers
3) Salts

11.  Acids release hydrogen ions into
solution
 Bases remove hydrogen ions from
solution
Strong acids and strong bases ionize
completely
Weak acids and weak bases do not ionize

12.  Buffers remove or replace hydrogen
ions in solution
Buffer systems maintain the pH of
body fluids
 The normal pH range of blood and other body
fluids is extremely narrow.
 Eg:- Venous blood –pH 7.36
 Arterial blood-pH 7.41

13.  Salt = an electrolyte whose
cation is not hydrogen and
whose anion is not hydroxide
 Ions exist in solution. If water
is removed, the ions will
crystallize and form salt
