SO WHAT DOES CHEMISTRY HAVE TO DO WITH
BIOLOGY????• Thomas Eisner
pioneered chemical ecology– the study of the
chemical language of nature
• He studies how insects communicate via chemical messages

BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY……..
• Rattlebox moths release a chemical that spiders don’t like
• This spider caught a rattlebox moth and then let it go

ATOMS AND MOLECULES
• Everything an organism is and does depends on chemistry
• Chemistry is in turn dependent on the arrangement of atoms in molecules
• In order to understand the whole, biologists study the parts.

Molecules and ecosystems are at opposite ends of the biological hierarchy
–Each level of organization in the biological hierarchy builds on the one below it
–At each level, new properties emerge…in other words-the higher up the ladder..the more complicated

LIFE REQUIRES ABOUT 25 CHEMICAL ELEMENTS
• A chemical element is a substance that cannot be broken down to other substances by ordinary chemical means
• About 25 different chemical elements are essential to life
![Page 8: CHAPTER 2 THE CHEMISTRY OF CELLS. SO WHAT DOES CHEMISTRY HAVE TO DO WITH BIOLOGY???? Thomas Eisner pioneered chemical ecology –the study of the chemical](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8e44/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen make up the bulk of living matter, but there are other elements necessary for life

IODINE IS A REQUIREMENT
• Goiters are caused by iodine deficiency
![Page 10: CHAPTER 2 THE CHEMISTRY OF CELLS. SO WHAT DOES CHEMISTRY HAVE TO DO WITH BIOLOGY???? Thomas Eisner pioneered chemical ecology –the study of the chemical](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8e44/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ELEMENTS CAN COMBINE TO FORM COMPOUNDS
• Chemical elements combine in fixed ratios to form compounds
• Example: sodium + chlorine sodium chloride
![Page 11: CHAPTER 2 THE CHEMISTRY OF CELLS. SO WHAT DOES CHEMISTRY HAVE TO DO WITH BIOLOGY???? Thomas Eisner pioneered chemical ecology –the study of the chemical](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8e44/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons
• The smallest particle of an element is an atom
• Different elements have different types of atoms
![Page 12: CHAPTER 2 THE CHEMISTRY OF CELLS. SO WHAT DOES CHEMISTRY HAVE TO DO WITH BIOLOGY???? Thomas Eisner pioneered chemical ecology –the study of the chemical](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8e44/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
An atom is made up of protons and neutrons located in a central
nucleus• The nucleus is surrounded by electrons

Each atom is held together by attractions between the positively charged protons and negatively
charged electrons• Neutrons are electrically neutral

Atoms of each element are distinguished by a specific
number of protons– The number of neutrons may vary
– Variant forms of an element are called isotopes
– Some isotopes are radioactive
![Page 15: CHAPTER 2 THE CHEMISTRY OF CELLS. SO WHAT DOES CHEMISTRY HAVE TO DO WITH BIOLOGY???? Thomas Eisner pioneered chemical ecology –the study of the chemical](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8e44/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Connection: Radioactive isotopes can help or harm us
• Radioactive isotopes can be useful tracers for studying biological processes
• PET scanners use radioactive isotopes to create anatomical images
![Page 16: CHAPTER 2 THE CHEMISTRY OF CELLS. SO WHAT DOES CHEMISTRY HAVE TO DO WITH BIOLOGY???? Thomas Eisner pioneered chemical ecology –the study of the chemical](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8e44/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Electron arrangement determines the chemical properties of an
atom• Electrons are arranged in shells
– The outermost shell determines the chemical properties of an atom
– In most atoms, a full outer shell holds eight electrons
![Page 17: CHAPTER 2 THE CHEMISTRY OF CELLS. SO WHAT DOES CHEMISTRY HAVE TO DO WITH BIOLOGY???? Thomas Eisner pioneered chemical ecology –the study of the chemical](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8e44/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Atoms whose shells are not full tend to interact with other atoms and gain, lose, or share electrons
First electron shell (can hold 2 electrons)Electron
Outermost electron shell (can
hold 8 electrons)
HYDROGEN (H)Atomic number = 1
CARBON (C)Atomic number = 6
NITROGEN (N)Atomic number = 7
OXYGEN (O)Atomic number = 8

Ionic bonds are attractions between ions of opposite charge
• When atoms gain or lose electrons, charged atoms called ions are created– An electrical attraction between ions with opposite
charges results in an ionic bond

Covalent bonds, the sharing of electrons, join atoms into
molecules• Some atoms share outer shell electrons
with other atoms, forming covalent bonds– Atoms joined together by covalent bonds form
molecules
