Transcript of Vision to Action Housing’s role in fulfilling the vision 17th June 2014.
1
All life functions/ process are based on the chemical reactions in our bodies!
These are single substances which cannot be broken down any more. there are 110 different elements that are known to man.
An Element:
2
The four most common elements in living things are:1) Carbon
2) Hydrogen
3) Oxygen
4) Nitrogen
Black = Carbon; Yellow = Hydrogen; Red = Oxygen
These four elements make up 96% of the human body
3
Each element is identified by one or two letter abbreviation called a symbol
Carbon- C
What are they? An element needed in small quantities
for proper growth and development Examples: copper, zinc, iron
How do plants and animals obtain them? Found in proteins, minerals, vitamins,
carbohydrates

An atom is the basic unit of matter.
Structure of an atom- atomic structure
The center of the atom is called the:
1) Protons - Positively charged particles
2) Neutrons - Neutral (uncharged) particles
Electrons
Atoms: The building blocks of elements
nucleus
6
Each element has distinct characteristics that result from the number of electrons in the nuclei of atoms
3) Electrons – Negatively charged particles
Atoms of the same element always have the same number of protons but may contain different numbers of
7
Neutrons
8
Biochemistry
Compounds – These are two or more elements combined.
These elements are bonded together.
Ex). Molecular modelof water. It is a compound becausethere are three elements bondedtogether.
9
BiochemistryCovalent Bonding - The elements share atoms toform a molecule.
10
BiochemistryIonic Bonding - The atoms transfer the electrons. The atoms acquire a charge and then become ions.
• What is meant by the term ion?
11
IONis an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge
Mixture- the mixing of compounds and elements without changing their properties or makeup.
Solution- a uniform mixture of two or more substances (these substances dissolve the other substance)
12
• Ph scale- a scale which describes how acidic or basic a solution is
• Acid- a compound that donates H+ ions to a solution (0-6 on the ph scale)
• Base- a compound that removes H+ ions from a solution
13

15
Formula - A formula shows the ratio of elements, or the structure of the compounds. There are two types of formulas:
1) Empirical Formula - This shows the symbols of theelements, followed by a numerical subscript whichidentifies the ratio of the atoms.
Ex: H2O means there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom
16
H2O2 = two hydrogen and two oxygen
How many of each is in a molecule of sugar? C6H12O6
6 Carbon12 Hydrogen6 Oxygen
17
BiochemistryStructural Formula - This formula shows how the atomsare arranged (its structure!!).
For example, sugarC6H12O6 looks like this.
18
Biochemistry
Glucose and fructose have the same molecular formula C6 H12O6, but they have different structural formulas
19
Inorganic Compounds – Do not contain both carbon and hydrogen.
They may contain one or the other, but they don't contain both.
Examples of inorganic compounds:Water -
H2OSalts - NaCl Acids - HCl
Bases - NaOH
*** Water is essential for life functions of cells.It is a solvent for other substances to dissolve in.Most chemical reactions occur only in water solutions
CO2
20
Biochemistry
Organic compounds - These are formed in nature byactivities of living organisms. ***They always contain both carbon and hydrogen.
Carbon is special because it can form 4 covalent bonds while most others can only form 2 bonds. Therefore, it can form long chains and rings.
Count the number of bonds to carbon
21
Biochemistry
There are 4 major kinds of organic compounds found in living things:
1) Carbohydrates 2) Proteins
3) Lipids (Fats) 4) Nucleic Acids
22
There are 3 types of carbohydrates: A) Monosaccharides Mono = 1B) Disaccharides Di = 2C) Polysaccharides Poly = 3 or more
A) Monosaccharides These are simple sugars. Theyusually end in the letters "ose" - glucose, fructose, galactose etc. These have the molecular formula ofC6H12O6
1) Carbohydrates - These are compounds that are made up of C, H & O.
The elements are usually in a ratio of 2(H) : 1(O)
Ex: C6H12O6
12:6 = 2:1
23
Biochemistry
B) Disaccharides - These are carbohydrates made up of2 simple sugars put together.
Ex: Maltose, Sucrose, Lactose
Sucroseis two glucosemoleculesput together
24
BiochemistryC)Polysaccharaides: These are carbohydrates madeup of many sugar units synthesized into long chains calledpolymers.
Examples: starches, cellulose etc.
25
Dehydration Synthesis
2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen are missing - in order to putthese two molecules together, a water molecule mustbe taken out. This process is called dehydration synthesis
(dehydration = lose water)(synthesis = put together)
26
BiochemistryHydrolysis - This is the opposite process of dehydrationsynthesis. It is when you add water to a compound andthe compounds separate (break down) Hydro = waterLysis = break up
27
Biochemistry
2) Proteins - Proteins contain C, H, O, and N. They mayalso contain sulfur. They are used to make cellstructures such as the membrane as well as other things
*** All enzymes are proteins!!
*** Many hormones are proteins
28
Biochemistry
The units which make up proteins are calledYou will learn this also as "the building blocks of proteins" An amino acid has two distinctparts: 1) an amino group 2) a carboxyl group
H N
H
- CO
OHAmino Group
Carboxyl Group COOH
Amino Acids- building blocks
29
Every amino acid has both of these groups (amino groupand carboxyl group). However, each amino acid is different by what is between the two groups. The different group in the middle vary, and are representedby the letter "R"

3) Lipids - These are fats and oils (ask me about a fat lip)Lipids are made of C, H< O, but are in a different ratiothan carbohydrates.
The H:O ratio is greater than 2:1 lipids are used for:
1) Stored Energy
2) Cell Structures (cell membranes)
3) Cushioning Organs

Biochemistry
Enzymes - ALL enzymes are proteins!!!
Enzymes control chemical reactions. They help the reactions to occur, but they are not changed or used up in the reaction!!!
Therefore, they can be used over and over again (although,eventually, they do break down (disintegrate) over time).
***Enzymes are classified as catalysts.
Catalysts are substances that increase the rate of areaction, but are not changed.
Name of enzymes:Enzymes end in the letters "ASE" (KNOW THIS!!!)They are usually named after the substrate that it acts upon
43
BiochemistryStructure of Enzymes:1) They are proteins - so they are made up of? ____
2) They may have a non-protein coat called a co-enzymeThe coenzyme helps the enzyme function properly and without it, some enzymes may not be able to function atall. Vitamins act as coenzymes.
3) Enzymes have an active site. This is where enzymeaction occurs. The enzymes are usually bigger thanthe molecules that they act upon.
Amino acids!!
44
Biochemistry4) Enzyme-substrate complex - The enzyme forms a temporary association with the substances whose reaction it controls. Active
Site
The substance actedupon is called the substrate
The point where contactis made is called the active site
After the reaction is over, theenzyme separates from the substrateand may be used elsewhere.
45
BiochemistryWhich is the enzyme and which is the substrate? How do youknow? What kind of reaction is this?
The enzyme does not get changed inthis reaction - therefore it is the greenone. Another clue is that it is bigger than the substrate.
This is a hydrolysis reaction because the substrate is being broken down
46
47
Biochemistry"Lock and Key" Model - A lock has a specific shape. Only one specific key willopen that lock. This model is used to describe howenzymes work - their shape has to fit the substrate, otherwise, the enzyme will not work on the substrate.
Notice how theyfit together, like a lockand a key

BiochemistryChemical Nature of Enzymes
1) Rate of enzyme actionThe rate varies with conditions in the cellular environment:There are 3 factors that affect the rate of enzyme actions
a) pH level (acidic or basic) b) Temperature
c) How much (concentration) of enzyme OR substrate is available.
52
Biochemistry
a) pH. pH is measured on a scale of 0-14. The lowend is acidic. The high end is basic. 7 is neutral (middle)
0-1 2 3 4 5 6 (7) 8 9 10 11 12 13 14stronglyacidic
moder-atelyacidic
slightlyacidic
neutral slightlybasic
moderatelybasic
stronglybasic
How to remember if a pH is acidic or basic: go from left to rightwhen you read - low numbers on left, high numbers on rightAlphabet: "A" is left of "B" - low numbers are acidic, high numbers are basic
53
Biology
54
Biochemistry
Each enzyme acts most effectively within a certain pH range
Ex: Pepsin (found in your stomach) works best in acidic conditions. Your stomach is very acidic. Would pepsinwork in your mouth?
B) TemperatureThe rate of the reaction is generally slow at low temperatures.As the temperature increases, so does the rate of the reaction,but only up to a point!! If the temperature gets too high,then the shape of the enzyme changes and no longer functions.
55
BiochemistryWhen an enzyme's shape is changed due to high temperatures, it is said to be denatured. They can'tfit into the substrate any more.
56
Biochemistry
**** Human enzymes become denatured at temperaturesnear 400 C which is a few degrees above body temperatureHuman body temperature is 370 C
C) Relative amount (aka: concentration) of enzyme or substrate
The rate of the enzyme activity will increase as the amount of substrate increases, but only up to a point.The rate levels off as more substrate is added (becauseyou only have so much enzyme available to work on thesubstrate)
57
Biochemistry
To test for monosaccarides, simple sugars! Example: glucose Benedicts solution is blue add heat, will turn orange for a + result
• To test for polysaccarides, starches Example: potatoes Use Iodine; a amber/ brown in color Will turn dark blue/ black in presence of
starch, a + result!58
To test for proteins, amino acids Example: peanuts, chicken-use biuret indicator; blue in color-Will turn purple/ lavender for +
To test for lipids, oils, waxes Example: butter, vegetable oil Use brown paper bag/ paper towel If translucent, a positive test for lipids
