Properties of Water1. Strong Polarity:• Polar water molecules attract other polar
compounds causing them to dissociate– Water is a great solvent
• Many molecules can dissolve in cells (mostly water)– Allows for chemical reactions and transportation
![Page 6: Chemical Basis of Life. Ionic Bonding es10/classnotes/lectures/ionic.bond.jpg.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f435503460f94c63bf4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Properties of Water2. High Specific Heat• Hydrogen bonds absorb heat when broken and
release heat when formed– This minimizes temperature changes in the body– Body temp remain relatively constant
3. High Heat of Vaporization• Energy needed to break H+ bonds• Body can dissipate excess heat & maintain a
normal body temperature by evaporation

Properties of Water
4. Cohesion• Water molecules provide lubrication or
cushioning to protect against damage from friction or trauma

Electrolytes
Substances that dissociate (break up) in solution to form charged particles or ions.
– Examples: Acids, bases, salts– Cations: positive charged ions– Anions: negative charged ions
![Page 9: Chemical Basis of Life. Ionic Bonding es10/classnotes/lectures/ionic.bond.jpg.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f435503460f94c63bf4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Acids & Bases
Acid – any substance that releases H+ when in solution– “proton donor”– Ex: HCl (stomach acid)
Base – any substance that increases the OH- concentration when dissociated in solution– “proton acceptor”– “Ex: NaOH

pH ScaleRepresents the H+ ion concentration
in a solution7 = neutral0-6 = acidic 8-14 = basic/alkaline

Buffers
Any molecule that moderates changes in pH. – Key role in the body’s ability to maintain
a normal pH (homeostasis)
Many buffers are anions that have a strong affinity for H+ – bicarbonate ion (HCO3
-) is an important buffer in the human body

Carbohydrates
• Structure:– Contains the elements C, H, O
• H and O always in 2:1 ratio
– Monosaccharides form short carbon chain• Ex: Glucose (C6H12O6)
• Function:– Provide energy for cellular activities – Structural support in DNA (deoxyribose)
and RNA (ribose)

LipidsIncludes: fats, phospholipids, steroids
and prostaglandins – Water insoluble
1. Fats/Triglycerides:– Structure: glycerol & 3 fatty acid tails– Function: concentrated energy source

Metabolism All the chemical reactions that take place
in our body’s cells.– Catabolism: Chemical reaction that breaks
down large molecules into smaller units. This type of reaction releases energy. Also called a hydrolysis reaction because a water molecule is added for the reaction to occur.
– Anabolism: Chemical reaction that combines smaller molecules to form larger molecules. This type of reaction requires energy, usually ATP. Also called a dehydration synthesis reaction because a water molecule is removed during the reaction.
