To survive you must have the following9. Nutrients to digest and absorb
10. Oxygen – Cellular Respiration in cells – produce ATP
11. Water – 60-80% of body weight; allows for chemical reactions; cell
balance; solvent
12. Must maintain normal body temperature– 37 C or 98.6 F

Necessary Life Functions – Homeostasis Homeostasis: state of body equilibrium or to maintain a stable internal environment. – “Dynamic” process
How it works– Variable– Stimulus– Receptor – Control center– Effector
![Page 5: Introduction – Inorganic Chemistry Biology 2121. What we need to stay alive – Necessary Life Functions 1.Movement 2.Response to Stimuli – Nervous system](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e385503460f94b28e2c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Examples of Homeostatic Mechanisms 1. Negative Feedback Systems– Most prevalent – Variable relationship – inverse
• Original stimuli is lowered or shut down
– Examples: Glucose control; Body Temperature
2. Positive Feedback Systems– Original stimuli is enhanced – Examples: Blood Clotting; oxytocin

Introduction – Inorganic Chemistry Organization of the Human Body – Levels of Structural Organization
![Page 7: Introduction – Inorganic Chemistry Biology 2121. What we need to stay alive – Necessary Life Functions 1.Movement 2.Response to Stimuli – Nervous system](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e385503460f94b28e2c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Basics of Chemistry – Atomic Structure Atomic Structure
– Nucleus • Protons (+) and Neutrons (0)
– Both weight 1.0 amu
– Energy Levels• Electrons (-)
– <1 amu (1/2000)
Atoms make up Elements – Same types of atoms (Fe, Cu, etc.) – Elements form compounds and molecules
Not all atoms of the same kind are alike – Isotopes
![Page 8: Introduction – Inorganic Chemistry Biology 2121. What we need to stay alive – Necessary Life Functions 1.Movement 2.Response to Stimuli – Nervous system](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e385503460f94b28e2c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Electrons Interact to form Chemical BondsValence Electrons – Atomic Number
– Atomic number: number of protons = number of electrons – Valence: most outer shell electrons that react with other atoms
• Identifying valence electrons: Group Number
Ions: when an atom gains or loses an electron
Metals and Nonmetals– Location on the periodic table – Formation of Ions – Metals: tend to lose electrons
• Positive ions or cations – Nonmetals: gain electrons
• Form negative ions or anions
Ion Attraction– Electrostatic attraction– Forms Ionic Bonds
![Page 9: Introduction – Inorganic Chemistry Biology 2121. What we need to stay alive – Necessary Life Functions 1.Movement 2.Response to Stimuli – Nervous system](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e385503460f94b28e2c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ionic and Covalent Bonds 1. Ionic Bonds
– Formed via electrostatic attraction• Metals (cations) and Nonmetal
(anions)• Electronegativity
– Crystalline solids – Salts: NaCl; MgCl2 (Electrolytes)– Importance of ions/electrolytes
2. Covalent Bonds – Similar electronegativity– Nonmetals – Forms molecules
• Importance of molecules and covalent compounds
![Page 10: Introduction – Inorganic Chemistry Biology 2121. What we need to stay alive – Necessary Life Functions 1.Movement 2.Response to Stimuli – Nervous system](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e385503460f94b28e2c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Covalent Compounds – Polarity Covalent compounds – Slight charges are formed during the
sharing of electrons– Equal Sharing “nonpolar”
• No slight charges formed
– Unequal Sharing “polar” • Slight differences in EN – charges • Forms two poles or “dipole”
•Water – Polar Covalent Compound – Universal Solvent – Chemical reactions
![Page 11: Introduction – Inorganic Chemistry Biology 2121. What we need to stay alive – Necessary Life Functions 1.Movement 2.Response to Stimuli – Nervous system](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e385503460f94b28e2c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hydrogen Bonding • Covalent polar compounds
form a ‘weak’ bond.
• Attraction between dipoles
• Intramolecular bond– Holds a molecule to a molecule
• Significance of Hydrogen bonding – DNA: holds double strand together – Proteins

Chemical Reactions – Human Body • Chemical Reactions produce new substances
• Chemical Reactions in the Human Body – Anabolic – “Build up”
– Catabolic – “Break down”
– Metabolic pathways (Glycolysis, Kreb’s Cycle, etc.)
• Chemical Reactions are mediated by Enzymes – Biological Catalysts – Speed up chemical reactions
• Types of Chemical Reactions – Synthesis
• amino acids combine to make proteins
– Decomposition
• Starch(glycogen) broken down to produce glucose
– Exchange or displacement

Chemical Reactions
Synthesis Reaction – Energy consuming or absorbing “Endergonic” “Anabolic”
Decomposition Reaction – Energy Releasing “Exergonic” “Catabolic”
EA – Energy of Activation
![Page 14: Introduction – Inorganic Chemistry Biology 2121. What we need to stay alive – Necessary Life Functions 1.Movement 2.Response to Stimuli – Nervous system](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e385503460f94b28e2c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Factors that Affect Chemical Reactions 1. Temperature – >Temperature faster the reaction speed– Increase in KE
2. Concentration– >Concentration the faster the reaction speed– Greater chances of collisions
3. Size of Particles – Smaller the particles faster the reaction speed – Collides more often
4. Catalysts – Lowers the activation energy; reaction takes place with less
energy.

Mixtures and Solutions Human body is made of many mixtures Mixture vs. Chemical ReactionTypes of Mixtures– 1. Solution– 2. Colloids– 3. Suspensions
Solutions – “Homogeneous” – same composition throughout– Solvent vs. Solute – Water is solvent “aqueous” solution
• Water dissolves gases, liquids and solids
– Example: Blood Plasma– Concentration: % or Molarity

Mixtures and Solutions Colloids or “emulsions” – “Heterogeneous” – “Sol-Gel” transformation– Example: Cytosol in
cytoplasm of cells
Suspensions– “Heterogeneous” – Example: Blood

Electrolytes in the BodySalts, Acids and Bases are “electrolytes”1.Salts – Ionic compound that contains a cation other than a H+ and an
anion other than a hydroxyl ion (OH-): NaCl – Common salts in the body: NaCl; CaCO3; KCl
2.Acids– Releases H+ in solution– “Proton donor”– Lowers pH
3.Bases– Releases OH- in solution– “Proton acceptors”– Raises pH
HCl releases H +

Acids and Bases in the BodyAcids– Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) –
digestion
Bases– Act as buffers – “acid-base
homeostasis” – Bicarbonate ion

pH Scale pH = “Power of Hydrogen”
•Concentration of hydrogen ions
•Expressed in terms of moles/L or Molarity
•Logarithmic – One pH unit represents a 10-fold
change in ion concentration – pH of a solution is the negative log of
the concentration of hydrogen ions – Scale: 0-14
• pH = - log [H+]
