Basic Chemistry
…. But this is Biology?????
Trace elements?
What are the most common elements in ALL living things
Symptom of an iodine deficiency
Iron deficiency?
Fluorine deficiency?
Locations and charges of protons?
Neutrons?Electrons?
Structure of an atom (its subatomic particles)
Atomic number
Atomic mass
Atomic Mass vs. Atomic Number?????
What is an isotope?
Cancerous throat tissue
Isotopes use to diagnose disease
Give a molecule similar to glucose that has a radioactive tag
PET scan picks up the released radiation and detects areas of high metabolism
Radioactive iodine
High doses can treat thyroid cancerSmall doses used to test thyroid function.
shows the concentration of radioactive tracer bound to monoamine oxidase B (MAO B). Red shows the highest concentration.
MAO B is important because it breaks down the chemicals that allow nerve cells to communicate and regulate blood pressure.
What causes an atom to react with other atom? Or… would cause it to be nonreactive (stable)?

Hydrogen bond
Strong attraction for electrons
Cohesion of water → water sticking to itself
• Does this because of hydrogen bonding
• Results in water having surface tension– “film” on top of
water
Transpiration
• Uses cohesion and adhesion to move water from the roots to top of a tree
Adhesion of waterTo cells of xylem
Cohesion of water to itself
Adhesion → water sticking to something else
Meniscus
Temperature moderation
Water resists changes in temperature
Water can absorb and release a lot of thermal energy with a small change in temperature
ex: lake temperatures
Feb: 15.7° FJuly: 70.4 ° F
Feb: 44.3° FJuly: 65.3 ° F
moderate temperatures at coasts
ex: evaporative cooling
-when water evaporates from our skin, it takes a lot of thermal energy with it
Density
Water is densest at 4° C
Ice is less dense than liquid water
Provides insulation and allows wildlife to survive under a layer of ice
Ice floats
Water is an almost universal solvent
Ionic compounds (like salt) will dissolve in water
Polar molecules will dissolve in water(sugar)
In a solution the SOLVENT is the substance in a greater amount
The SOLUTE is the substance present in a lesser amount

• A few water molecules can break apart into ions– hydrogen ions (H+)– hydroxide ions (OH–)

pH
• Acids vs. bases– An acid is anything that INCREASES the
relative concentration of H+– A base is anything that DECREASES the
relative concentration of H+• Either by adding OH- or removing H+

pH
• A pH scale (pH = potential of hydrogen) is used to describe whether a solution is acidic or basic– pH ranges from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most
basic)– A solution that is neither acidic or basic is
neutral (pH = 7)

Logarithmic scaleChange in one
unit on pH scale = 10 x change in hydrogen ion concentration
Solution A has a pH = 4Solution B has a pH = 2
How much more acidic is Solution B?
Solution C has a pH = 9Solution D has a pH = 12
How much more H+ ions does solution C have compared to solution D?
Why is pH important?
• Different areas of the body have different pH values– Ex: stomach
blood
• If the pH varies from this value, proteins lose their shape and don’t work
Molecules that can accept or release H+→ resist change in pH
Are usually weak acid/base pairs
