Atomic Structure

Atom is the basic unit of matter which are incredibly small – 100 million would be about the width of your pinkie!

It is made up of subatomic particles called protons, neutrons and electrons.

Bohr Models

Bohr Models are pictures to represent atomic structure. Bohr said that electrons move in specific

energy levels. The further electrons are located away from the nucleus, the more energy it is said to

have.

Energy Level Max # of Electrons

The Periodic Table

Periods – Run horizontally or across the periodic table.

Groups – Run vertically or down the periodic table.

Groups have the same number of valance electrons in the outer shell

Chemical Bonding

The joining of two or more elements to form a new compound.

Elements combine to form compounds by a process called chemical bonding.

The formation of a chemical bond involves either the transfer of electrons from one atom to another,

OR the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Atoms tend to fill partially filled valance shells or empty partially filled valance shells.

This drives chemical reactions to create chemical bonds!

1 - Ionic Bonds – Formed when valance electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Ions – are atoms that have gained or lost electrons and become either positive lost electron)

or negative (gained electron).

Example: Sodium Chloride Na+Cl-

2 - Covalent Bonds – A type of bond that occurs when electrons are equally shared between atoms to form compound Example: Methane CH4

H = electrons in outer shell

C = electrons

Properties of Water

Water is POLAR COVALENT: leads to many interesting properties of water…

A pair of electrons share unequally by 2 atoms.

Oxygen has stronger “attraction” for the electrons than hydrogen (electronegativity)This makes water polar, meaning there is a positive pole (H+) and a negative pole (O-). Example: water = H2O

Diagram:

H2O molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other H+ is attracted to O- which creates a hydrogen bonds and allows for unusual properties of water.

Unusual Properties of Water – because of HYDROGEN BONDS

1. Cohesion and Adhesion = Surface Tension and Capillary Action

8 P+8 N

Water is polar covalent.

Oxygen has electrons more than hydrogen so it is more electronegative

Hydrogen is more positive

15

High Surface Tension =

Hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together so tightly that the water’s surface acts like a solid,

this is also called cohesion (attraction between the same substances).

EXAMPLE: Capillary ActionGlass or other polar substances allow the polar water molecules to spontaneously “climb” the walls.

An example in nature is transpiration.Cohesion is how water sticks to itself. Example: surface tension Adhesion is how water sticks to other surfaces. Example: meniscusEXAMPLE: Transpiration or Meniscus

2. Good Solvent = hydrophilic (loves = water vs. hydrophobic (repels = water

Water is an excellent solvent because the polarity of water molecules can interact with so many

substances.

Solvents dissolve solutes creating solutions(water) (salt) (salt water)EXAMPLE:

Hydrophillic polar Attracted Example: saltHydrophobic non-polar not attracted Example: oil

3. Low density as a solid = Ice floats!

Ice is less dense than water and therefore it floats on top of liquid water.

H+ bonds form crystals as they freeze which creates air space and lowers the density.

This is important because

1. Surface ice insulates the water below. 2. This creates seasonal turnover as water freeze and thaws .

4. High Specific Heat Capacity = Water stores heat

H20 resists change in temperature

Water can absorb a lot of energy without having its temperature increase by very much. Water

molecules are held together so strongly by their hydrogen bonds than the amount of heat required

to get the molecules moving fast enough to heat up is a lot.

H20 modules temperatures on Earth

EXAMPLE: water to boil takes a lot of energy

5. High Heat of Vaporization/Fusion = Heats & Cools slowly

It takes a lot of energy to evaporate water or freeze water. Why is this important to living organisms? Allows organism to maintain homeostasis and adjust

to seasonal temperature change

Mixtures, Solutions and Suspensions

What are Mixtures?

Mixtures - materials composed of one or more elements or compounds that are physically mixed together but not chemically combined. Examples: Pizza toppings

solutionsSolvent – Substance that disolves the solute(You will have more of this item)

Example: water

Solute – Substance that IS dissolved in a solvent to make a solution (You will have less of this item)

Example: salt

Acids, Bases, Buffers - pH Scale

A water molecule (H20) can react to form __________________ ions _____ and ___________________ ions _______

Equation:

pH Scale: Indicates the concentration of H+ ions and OH- ions in a solution. Ranging from 0 to 14 a

pH of 7 indicates and equal concentration of Hydrogen ions and Hydroxide ions..

Neutral, Acid or Base

if [H+] = [-OH], water is neutral pH = 7

if [H+] > [-OH], water is acidic pH = 0-7

if [H+] < [-OH], water is basic pH = 7-14

Neutral

19

Buffers: weak acids or bases that can react with strong acids or bases to prevent changes in pH.

For example, we must maintain a stable blood pH. If we aren't able to do this, chemical reactions in

our body's cells will be negatively affected, cells could be damaged or the organism could die.

Control pH by buffers reservoir of H+

donate H+ when [H+] falls

absorb H+ when [H+] rises

Why Carbon?

Carbon has a valance of 4. This means that it can bond with many different elements to form chains

or hydrocarbons

Draw a Bohr model of Carbon

Macromolecules – BIG = MACRO

Macromolecules are polymers “giant molecules”, that are formed by the joining of monomers of

small molecules. Mono = 1

EnzymesSome chemical reactions that make life possible are too slow or have activation

energies that are too high and therefore are useless or dangerous for living tissue.

Enzymes play an essential role in regulating chemical pathways, making material s that

cells need, releasing energy, and transferring information.

Enzymes are proteins (polymers of amino acids) that act as biological catalysts (they

speed up processes in our cells)

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the

activation energy. See figures 2-20 in your text.

Page 32: Loudoun County Public Schools€¦  · Web viewUnit 5 Biochemistry. Objectives. Topic 1: Atomic Structure. Identify the three subatomic particles found in atoms. Describe the two

32

Example: Our bodies naturally produce hydrogen peroxide, a toxic chemical made of water and oxygen. The enzyme catalase speeds up the reaction to break this chemical down into water and oxygen.

2H2O2 2H20 + O2

How do enzymes do their job?Enzymes are very specific and form what is referred to as an enzyme–substrate

complex. See Figure 2-21 in your text.

This enzyme-substrate complex can also be referred to, as a lock and key because

enzymes are very specific about which substrate will fit into the activation site.

What affects enzyme reaction rate?Enzymes work best at an optimal pH and temperature. A change in either of these

variables breaks the bonds of the protein and therefore changes the structure of the

enzyme. This is called denaturing the enzyme because the enzyme is no longer in its

natural form. If the enzyme is denatured the substrate will not fit and the chemical

reaction cannot take place.

Catalase ENZYME LabHow do enzymes work in living tissues?

OBJECTIVES- After lab can you: Explain why enzymes are important to living things?

Describe how enzymes function?

Identify how temperature and pH affects the rate of enzyme activity?

Introduction (Read and highlight or underline)

What would happen to your cells if they made a poisonous chemical? Do you think that

your cells would die? In fact, your cells are always making poisonous chemicals. They

do not die because your cells use enzymes to break down these poisonous chemicals

into harmless substances. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of reactions

that would otherwise happen too slowly to maintain life. The enzymes are not altered

by the reaction. You have hundreds of different enzymes in each of your cells. Each of

these enzymes is responsible for one reaction that occurs in the cells.

In this lab, you will study an enzyme that is found in the cells of many living

tissues. The name of the enzyme is catalase; it speeds up a reaction, which breaks

down hydrogen peroxide, a toxic chemical made of – water and oxygen. The reaction is

as follows:

2H2O2 2H2O + O2

REACTANT PRODUCTS

This reaction is important to cells because hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is produced as a

byproduct of many normal cellular reactions. If the cell doesn’t break down the

hydrogen peroxide, they would be poisoned and die.

In this lab, you will study the catalase found in liver cells. You will be using

chicken or beef liver that your teacher purchased in the supermarket. It might seem

strange to use dead cells to study the function of enzymes but is possible because

when a cell dies, the enzymes remain intact and active several weeks, as long as the

tissue is kept refrigerated.

Pre-Lab Questions – ANSWER ALL Questions on the ANSWER SHEET1. What are enzymes and why are they important to living organisms?2. What is the enzyme we are studying in this lab and where is it found in

animals?3. What are the reactants and what are the products we will see in this lab?

Prelab Preparation

Review your notes about enzymes. Recall that the substrate is a molecule that the

enzyme breaks apart, and the products are the molecules produced by that reaction.

Review why enzymes are reusable.

Under certain conditions enzymes are denatured. An enzyme is denatured when

the protein molecule loses its proper shape and cannot function. Some things that can

denature an enzyme are high temperatures, extremes of pH, heavy metals, and alcohol.

In this lab we will be using acid and boiling water to denature the enzyme catalase.

Part 1: Normal Catalase Activity

NOTE: Be sure to clean your stirring rod (and your test tubes, if necessary) between

steps.

A. Place 2 mL of the 3% hydrogen peroxide solution into a clean test tube.

4. Is the hydrogen peroxide bubbling?

B. Using forceps and scissors cut a small piece of liver and add it to the test tube.

Gently push it into the hydrogen peroxide with a stirring rod.

5. Observe the bubbles; what gas is being released?

Page 36: Loudoun County Public Schools€¦  · Web viewUnit 5 Biochemistry. Objectives. Topic 1: Atomic Structure. Identify the three subatomic particles found in atoms. Describe the two

36

Throughout this investigation you will estimate the rate of reaction (how rapidly the

solution bubbles) on a scale of 0-5 (0=no reaction, 1=slow,…5=very fast). Assume that

the reaction in step B proceeded at a rate of “4” and record the speed in a Chart I.

C. Recall that a reaction that absorbs heat is endothermic; a reaction that gives off

heat is exothermic. Now, feel the temperature of the test tubes with your hand.

6. Has it gotten warmer or cooler? Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?

7. What is happening in your test tube?

D. Pour off the liquid into a second clean test tube.

8. What is this liquid composed of? What do you think would happen if you added more liver to this liquid? Why?

E. Add another 2 mL of hydrogen peroxide to the liver remaining in the first test

tube.

9. Can you observe any reaction? What do you think would happen if you poured off this liquid and added more hydrogen peroxide to the remain liver?

10. Are enzymes reusable?

Presence of CatalaseCatalase is present in many kinds of living tissues. You will now test for the presence of

catalase in tissues other than liver.

F. Place 2 mL of hydrogen peroxide in each of 3 clean test tubs. To the first tube,

add a small piece of carrot. To the second tube, add a small piece of potato. To

the third tube, add a piece of ham.

Page 37: Loudoun County Public Schools€¦  · Web viewUnit 5 Biochemistry. Objectives. Topic 1: Atomic Structure. Identify the three subatomic particles found in atoms. Describe the two

37

As you add each test substance, record the reaction rate (0-5) for each tube

in Chart I of your data.

11.Which tissues contained catalase?

Part II: Effect of Temperature on Catalase Activity

G. Put a piece of liver into the bottom of a clean test tube and cover it with a small

amount of distilled water. Place this test tub in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.

12.What will boiling do to an enzyme?

H. Remove the test tube from the hot water bath, allow it to air cool, and then pour

out the water. Add 2 mL of hydrogen peroxide. CAUTIION: Use a test – tube

holder when handling the hot test tubes.

13.What is happening in the test tube? Explain your results and record the reaction rate (0-5) in Chart II of your data table.

I. YOU NEED 6 TEST TUBES FOR THIS STEP: Put equal quantities of liver into 3

clean test tubes and 2 mL H2O2 into 3 other test tubes. Put one test tube of liver

and one of H2O2 into each of the following water baths.

Ice bath (about 00C)

Room Temperature water bath (about 220C);

Warm water bath (about 270C)

J. After 3 minutes, pour each tube of H2O2 into the corresponding tube of liver and

observe the reaction.

14.Record the reaction rates (0-5) in Chart II of your data table.

15.Make a graph of the estimated reaction rate as a function of temperature.

Temperature should be your x-axis and the variables should be your y-

axis. You should have 4 points. 00C (ice water); room temperature (about

220C); warm water bath (about 270C) and 1000C (boiling).

16.What is the “optimum” temperature for catalase? (This is the temperature

at which the reaction proceeds fastest.)

17.Why did the reaction proceed slowly at 00C?

18.Why did the reaction not proceed at all at 1000C?

Post lab Analysis

19.Make an inference about what happens to the heat when the reaction

described in Step C occurs in living cells?

20.Did you find catalase to be present in all kinds of tissue tested today?

Explain why or why not.
