  1. Chapter 2 The Chemical Level of Organization Lecture Outline

  2. Basic Principles • Chemistry is the science of the structure and interactions of matter. • Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. • Mass is the amount of matter a substance contains • weight is the force of gravity acting on a mass. Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  3. HOW MATTER IS ORGANIZED • Chemical Elements • Elements are given letter abbreviations called chemical symbols. • Oxygen (O), carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and nitrogen (N) make up 96% of body weight. • Trace elements are present in tiny amounts • copper, tin, selenium & zinc Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  4. Structure of Atoms • Atoms are the smallest units of matter that retain the properties of an element • 3 types of subatomic particles • Nucleus: protons (p+) & neutrons (neutral charge) • Electrons (e-) surround the nucleus as a cloud Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  5. Electron Shells • Most likely region of the electroncloud in which to find electrons • Each electron shell can hold onlya limited number of electrons • Number of electrons = number of protons • Each atom is electrically neutral; charge = 0 Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  6. Atomic Number & Mass Number • Atomic number is number of protons in the nucleus. . • Mass number is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  7. Atomic Number and Mass Number • The mass number of an atom • Isotopes • Isotopes • Stable isotopes do not change their nuclear structure over time. • radioactive isotopes Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  8. Ions, Molecules, Free Radicals, and Compounds • Ions • Molecules (Fig 2.3a) Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  9. CHEMICAL BONDS • The atoms of a molecule are held together by forces of attraction called chemical bonds. • The likelihood that an atom will form a chemical bond with another atom depends on the number of electrons in its outermost shell, also called the valence shell. Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  10. CHEMICAL BONDS • An atom with a valence shell holding eight electrons (2 electrons for hydrogen and neon) is chemically stable, which means it is unlikely to form chemical bonds with other atoms. • To achieve stability, atoms that do not have eight electrons in their valence shell (or 2 in the case of H and He) tend to empty their valence shell or fill it to the maximum extent. • octet rule Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  11. Ionic Bonds • When an atom loses or gains a valence electron, ions are formed (Figure 2.4a). • Opposites attract • Cations • Anions Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  12. Ionic Bonds • When this force of attraction holds ions having opposite charges together, an ionic bond results. • Sodium chloride is formed by ionic bonds (Figure 2.4) • In general, ionic compounds exist as solids but some may dissociate into positive and negative ions in solution. Such a compound is called an electrolyte. • Table 2.2 lists the names and symbols of the most common ions and ionic compounds in the body. Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  13. The Ionic Bond in Sodium Chloride • Sodium loses an electron to become Na+ (cation) • Chlorine gains an electron to become Cl- (anion) • Na+ and Cl- are attracted to each other to form the compound sodium chloride (NaCl) -- table salt • Ionic compounds generally exist as solids Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  14. Covalent Bonds • Atoms share electrons to form covalent bonds • Electrons spend most of the time between the 2 atomic nuclei • Polar covalent bonds Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  15. Polar Covalent Bonds • Unequal sharing of electrons between atoms. (Figure 2.6). • In a water molecule, oxygen attracts the hydrogen electrons more strongly • Oxygen has greater electronegativity Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  16. Hydrogen Bonds • Weak Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  17. CHEMICAL REACTIONS • A chemical reaction occurs when new bonds are formed or old bonds break between atoms (Figure 2.8). • Law of conservation of mass. • Metabolism Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  18. Forms of Energy and Chemical Reactions • Energy • Kinetic energy • Temperature is an indirect measure of molecular motion. • Potential energy • Chemical energy is a form of potential energy stored in the bonds of compounds or molecules. • Law of conservation of energy Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  19. Energy Transfer in Chemical Reactions • Reactions in living systems usually involve both kinds of reactions occurring together. • exergonic reactions release energy • endergonic reactions absorb energy • You will learn of many examples in human metabolism that involve coupled exergonic and endergonic reactions; the energy released from one reaction will drive the other. • Glucose breakdown releases energy, which is used to build ATP molecules (that store the energy for later use in other reactions.) Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  20. Activation Energy • Activation energy is thecollision energy needed to break bonds & begin areaction. • Increases in concentration & temperature, increase the probability of collision • more particles are in a given space when the concentration is higher • particles move more rapidly when temperature is raised Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  21. Effectiveness of Catalysts • Catalysts speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  22. Catalysts or Enzymes Example: • Normal body temperatures and concentrations are low enough that many chemical reactions are effectively blocked by the activation energy barrier. • Lactose typically reacts very slowly with water to break down into two simple sugars called glucose and galactose. • Lactase, an enzyme (catalyst) orients the colliding particles (lactose and water) properly so that they touch at the spots that make the reaction happen. • Thousands of lactose/water reactions may be catalyzed by one lactase enzyme. • Without lactase, the lactose will remain undigested in the intestines and often causes diarrhea and cramping. Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  23. Synthesis Reactions--Anabolism • Two or more atoms, ions or molecules combine to form new & larger molecules • All the synthesis reactions in the body together are called anabolism • Usually are endergonic because they absorb more energy than they release • Example • combining amino acids to form a protein molecule Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  24. Decomposition Reactions--Catabolism • Large molecules are split into smaller atoms, ions or molecules • All decomposition reactions occurring together in the body are known as catabolism • Usually are exergonic since they release more energy than they absorb Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  25. Reversible Reactions • Chemical reactions can be reversible. • Reactants can become products or products can revert to the original reactants Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  26. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions • Oxidation is the loss of electrons from a molecule • Reduction is the gain of electrons by a molecule • In the body, oxidation-reduction reactions are coupled & occur simultaneously Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  29. Water as a Solvent • Most versatile solvent known • polar covalent bonds (hydrophilic versus hydrophobic) • its shape allows each watermolecule to interact with 4 ormore neighboring ions/molecules • oxygen attracts sodium • hydrogen attracts chloride • sodium & chloride separate as ionicbonds are broken • hydration spheres surround each ion and decrease possibility of bonds being reformed • Water dissolves or suspends many substances Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  30. High Heat Capacity of Water • Water has a high heat capacity. • Heat of vaporization is also high Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  31. Cohesion of Water Molecules • Hydrogen bonds link neighboring water molecules giving water cohesion • Creates high surface tension • difficult to break the surface of liquid if molecules are more attracted to each other than to surrounding air molecules • respiratory problem causes by water’s cohesive property • air sacs of lungs are more difficult to inflate Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  32.

  33. Inorganic Acids, Bases & Salts. Acids, bases and salts always dissociate into ions if they are dissolved in water (Fig 2.12) • acids dissociate into H+and one or more anions • bases dissociate into OH-and one or more cations • salts dissociate into anions and cations, none of whichare either H+ or OH- • Acid & bases react in the body to form salts • Electrolytes are important salts in the body that carry electric current (in nerve or muscle) Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  34. Concept of pH • pH scale runs from 0 to 14 (concentration of H+ in moles/liter) • pH of 7 is neutral (distilled water -- concentration of OH- and H+ are equal) • pH below 7 is acidic ([H+] > [OH-]). • pH above 7 is alkaline ([H+] < [OH-]). Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

Glucose and fructose combine, for example, to produce sucrose. Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  40. Disaccharides • Combining 2 monosaccharides by dehydration synthesis releases a water molecule. • sucrose = glucose & fructose • maltose = glucose & glucose • lactose = glucose & galactose (lactose intolerance) Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  41. Polysaccharides • Polysaccharides are the largest carbohydrates and may contain hundreds of monosaccharides. • The principal polysaccharide in the human body is glycogen, which is stored in the liver or skeletal muscles. (Figure 2.16) • When blood sugar level drops, the liver hydrolyzes glycogen to yield glucose which is released from the liver into the blood Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e
