Chemistry of Life• All life processes involve chemical
reactions (clinical day)– Ex. Ca++ in muscle contraction
Na+, K+ in nerve impulses
![Page 3: Basic Chemistry Chapter 2. Chemistry of Life All life processes involve chemical reactions (clinical day) –Ex. Ca ++ in muscle contraction Na +, K + in.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e675503460f94b6288d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• anything that has mass and takes up space
• can you think of solids, liquids, and gases that might be found in the body?
Matter

• the capacity to do work • No mass & does not
take up space• Types:
– Potential: stored in bonds (chemical)
– Kinetic: doing work (electrical, mechanical, radiant)
• Exergonic & endergonic reactions
Energy

Composition of Matter• 92 naturally occurring elements (112 known, 113-
118 are alleged)• Living organisms require about 26 of these elements
(table 2.1, p.28)• About 96% (by mass) comes from Oxygen (O),
Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Nitrogen (N)
![Page 6: Basic Chemistry Chapter 2. Chemistry of Life All life processes involve chemical reactions (clinical day) –Ex. Ca ++ in muscle contraction Na +, K + in.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e675503460f94b6288d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Atoms• smallest complete unit of an element
– Composed of dozens of subatomic particles, but we are only concerned with THREE!
Subatomic Particle
Charge Location What it tells you!
Proton + Nucleus Identity of atom, mass
Neutron 0 Nucleus Isotope, mass
Electron - Surrounds nucleus
Properties of atom, negligible mass

Identifying Elements
• Atomic number
• equal to the number of protons in an atom (& electrons in neutral atom!)
• Atomic mass
• sum of the masses of all the protons & neutrons contained in nucleus

Isotopes• atoms of same element with a different mass
(due to neutrons) but same chemical properties• Ex. C-12 and C-14
• Radioactive isotopes used in many medical tests to tag biological molecules to be followed or traced • i.e. PET scans, I-131 for thyroid activity,
destroying localized cancers (Ra, Co, etc.)

• Transfer or share electrons in order to fill their valence shell (stability)• All atoms want 8 e- in their valence shell
(except H & He)

a bond pulls electrons to itself

– Decomposition (catabolism) AB A + B• Energy releasing• i.e. digestion of foods, breakdown of glycogen in liver to
produce glucose
