Q

Chemical composition of cells

A

Cells are primarily composed of macromolecules, which define the physics and chemistry of the cell

18
Q

Chemical bonds of cellular molecules

A

Water is an important chemical component of cell bonds
- polar
-water molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other
-solvent for most cellular molecules
-Reaction or product in biochemical reactions

19
Q

Mixtures

A

most matter exists as mixtures
-three types: Solution, Colloids, Suspensions

20
Q

Solutions

A

-Homogeneous mixtures
-most are true solutions in the body
- gases, liquid, solid
- Solvent: substance present in great amount
- Solute: Present in smaller amount

21
Q

Concentration of true solution

A
  • % of solute in total solution
    • parts solute per 100 parts solvent
  • milligrams per deciliter
  • molarity or moles per liter (M)
    • 1 mole of any substance contain 6.02x10^23 molecules
    • 1 mole of any element = atomic #
22
Q

Colloids

A
  • heterogeneous mixtures
  • large solute particles do not settle out
  • some undergo sol-gel transfer
23
Q

Suspension

A
  • heterogeneous mixtures
  • large, visible solutes settlers out
24
Q

Mixtures

A

-no chemical bonding between compounds
- can be separated by physical means, such as straining
- Heterogenous or homogeneous

25
compounds
- chemical bonding between compounds - can be separated only by breaking bonds
26
intramolecular interaction
- covalent bonds -noncovalent bonds - electrostatic attraction - hydrogen bonds - van der Waals attraction
27
Intermolecular interactions
- electrostatic interactions - Hydrogen bonds -van der Waals attraction - Hydrophobic forces
28
Covalent bonds
- abundant in cellular molecules - electrons shared - short length and strongest - single bonds (2E) -double bonds(4E) - nonpolar: equally shared electrons - polar: two different elements, unequal sharing
29
Noncovalent bonds
- ionic bonds -hydrogen bonding -van der Waals attraction
30
Hydrophobic forces
- molecules can be hydrophobic or hydrophilic hydrophilic: polar or charged that dissolve in water hydrophobic: nonpolar, insoluble in water - nonpolar surfaces tend to be pushed out of the water molecules' network - hydrophobic effects stabilize biological structures
31
Chemical reactions
- Synthesis - Decomposition - Exchange
32
Synthesis(condensation)
A+B -> AB Anabolic: construct molecules from smaller units
33
Decomposition(Hydrolysis)
AB -> A+B Catabolic: molecules broken down into smaller units that are wither oxidized to realise energy, or used in another anabolic reaction
34
Exchange(displacement)
AB+C -> AC+B bonds are both broken and made
35
Redox reaction
- decomposition reaction - exchange reaction because electrons are exchanged between reactions
36
Energy Flow
Exergonic: net release of energy - products have less energy than reactants - catabolic and oxidative reactions Endergonic: net absorption of reaction - products have more energy potential than reactants - anabolic reactions
37
Rate of reaction
Affected by: - increase temperature, increase in reaction rate - increased concentration of reactants, increase in reaction rate - decrease particle size, increase in reaction rate - Catalyst: increases reaction rate
38
First law
- there are many forms of energy: mechanical, electrical, chemical - in chemical reaction, energy is transformed from one to another: ∆U = q-w - q<0 = exothermic - q>0 = endothermic
39
Free Energy
∆H = ∆G +T∆S ∆H: overall change in boding energy ∆G: Change in free energy ∆S: change in bond energy - when ∆G <0 :exergonic, forward reaction is spontaneous - when ∆G >0 :endergonic, reverse reaction tens to occur - when ∆G =0 : forward or reverse reaction equally probable, living things are not in equilibrium For A+B --> C+D ∆G = ∆Gº +RT ln{([C][D])/([A][B])}
39
Second law
∆S1 + ∆S2 = ∆Su >0 S= entropy S1 = entropy of the system S2 = Entropy of surrounding Su = entropy of universe - if + then there's in increase in disorder - all spontaneous change occurs with an increase of entropy of the universe - the sum of all entropy change for the system and the surrounding must be positive for a spontaneous process
40
Enzymes
- most chemical reactions require an energy input to start - activation energy - needed to overcome repulsive bonds between electrons of two molecules, break existing bonds - in living cells, enzymes lower the activation energy - hold substrates in a way that reduces activation energy
