Elements of Life
• MATTER - everything that has mass and
takes up space
Solid - Liquid - Gas = 3 states of matter
• CONSERVATION OF MATTER: The idea
that matter cannot be created nor destroyed
but is simply transformed from one form to
another
• The atoms in your body may have been in a
dinosaur or a tree!

Elements
• ELEMENTS - substances that cannot be
broken down into simpler forms by ordinary
chemical reactions
• All matter consists of elements.
• 118 elements, but just four (oxygen, carbon,
hydrogen and nitrogen) make up 96% of the
mass of living organisms.

Ionic Chemical Bonds
CHEMICAL BOND - chemical energy holding atoms together to form molecules
IONIC BOND - Atoms with opposite charges (ions) form a bond. One atom loses one or more electrons, the other atom gains one or more electrons
![Page 11: Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life - Sewanhaka High School · Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life. 2 Outline • ... From Species to Ecosystems • Species - all organisms of the same kind](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040712/5e177d1bfcc860633946a0e2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

WATER IS DIFFERENT!
COVALENT BONDS IN WATER
In water the oxygen attracts the electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms do, so the hydrogen atoms have a slight positive charge and the oxygen has a slight negative charge.
![Page 14: Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life - Sewanhaka High School · Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life. 2 Outline • ... From Species to Ecosystems • Species - all organisms of the same kind](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040712/5e177d1bfcc860633946a0e2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
WATER IS DIFFERENT! Water molecules are attracted
to each other due to the Polar Covalent bonds of other water molecules
“Universal Solvent” due to its polar nature, water is capable of dissolving most molecules
Cohesion – the attraction between water molecules
Surface Tension – the resistance of surface molecules to be broken
Adhesion - water molecules bonding to another surface
![Page 15: Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life - Sewanhaka High School · Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life. 2 Outline • ... From Species to Ecosystems • Species - all organisms of the same kind](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040712/5e177d1bfcc860633946a0e2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
WATER IS DIFFERENT! High Heat of Vaporization - requires a lot of energy
to turn liquid water into a vapor/gas
High Specific Heat – water must absorb a lot of heat energy for the temperature to rise & it holds onto this heat energy for a long period of time
Water EXPANDS when it freezes – this makes ice less dense than liquid water allowing it to float
Water has a pH of 7 – it is NEUTRAL – in solution the molecules break apart into (OH-) Hydroxyl Ions and (H+) Hydrogen Ions
![Page 16: Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life - Sewanhaka High School · Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life. 2 Outline • ... From Species to Ecosystems • Species - all organisms of the same kind](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040712/5e177d1bfcc860633946a0e2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Oxidation and Reduction
• OXIDATION - When an atom gives up one or more electrons, it is “oxidized”.
• REDUCTION - When an atom gains one or more electrons, it is “reduced”.
• Oxidation and reduction are important parts of how organisms gain energy from food.
• Endothermic: breaking bonds absorbs energy
_________________________________________
• Exothermic: forming bonds releases energy
_________________________________________
• Activation Energy: the energy needed to initiate a chemical reaction (ie: friction to light a match)

17
Acids, and Bases
• ACID – a substance that releases hydrogen ions
when put into water.
Acids are Hydrogen (H+) “donors”
ie: sulfuric, hydrochloric, acetic, carbonic
• BASE – a substance that releases hydroxide ions
(OH-) in water
Bases easily bond with hydrogen ions producing
water and a neutral pH
ie: sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide
ammonium hydroxide,
![Page 18: Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life - Sewanhaka High School · Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life. 2 Outline • ... From Species to Ecosystems • Species - all organisms of the same kind](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040712/5e177d1bfcc860633946a0e2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
pH Scale
pH scale:
is logarithmic;
each step is 10X
0 to 6.9 is acidic
7 is neutral
7.1 to 14 is basic
ie: a substance with a
pH of 4 is ________x
More acidic than a
substance with a pH of 6
![Page 19: Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life - Sewanhaka High School · Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life. 2 Outline • ... From Species to Ecosystems • Species - all organisms of the same kind](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040712/5e177d1bfcc860633946a0e2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
ENVIRONMENTAL BUFFERS
BUFFER:
a substance that accepts or releases
hydrogen ions
buffers help to neutralize a solution
ie: adding lime (calcium carbonate) to a lawn will
decrease effects of acid rain
ie: a lake affected by acid rain may be buffered
by surrounding soils or alkaline bedrock of
limestone or igneous type rocks.
(Granite & shale are acidic and would be
detrimental to a lake affected by acid rain.)

HEAT ENERGY
• HEAT - Energy that can be transferred between objects of different temperature.
When a substance absorbs heat, the motion of its molecules increases and it may change state (e.g. a solid to a liquid to a gas).
When a substance releases heat, the motion of its molecules decreases and it may change state (e.g. a gas to a liquid to a solid).
Remember.........
Evaporation and condensation help distribute heat around the globe. (Convection Currents)
Heat storage in lakes & oceans moderates climate and helps maintain different biomes

THERMODYNAMICS: The study of Energy
• FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS -
a.k.a. Law of Conservation of Energy Energy is neither created nor destroyed. The amount of energy in the universe is constant.
• SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS -
With each successive energy transfer, less energy is available to perform work.
- ENTROPY (disorder) increases as energy is used to do work.
![Page 34: Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life - Sewanhaka High School · Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life. 2 Outline • ... From Species to Ecosystems • Species - all organisms of the same kind](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040712/5e177d1bfcc860633946a0e2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
• ENTROPY is a thermodynamic quantity
representing the amount of energy in a
system that is no longer available for doing
mechanical work.
• As energy is used in doing work, some
energy is lost from the system.
Lost as Heat, Friction, Sound, etc. • Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAMlGyaUz4M

Energy for Life
• Energy must be continually supplied by the sun to keep biological processes running. As energy flows through the various biological processes, it becomes dissipated, diffuse, unable to be used.
• Ultimately, most organisms depend on the sun for the energy needed to carry out life processes.

Energy from the Sun
• Solar energy is essential for 2 reasons:
Warmth - Most organisms can exist only in a
relatively narrow temperature range.
If too cold - ____________________________
If too hot - _____________________________
Photosynthesis in plants
- Radiant energy is transformed into useful,
high-quality chemical energy in the bonds of
organic molecules. Almost all life on Earth
depends on photosynthesis.

38
Energy From the Sun
• PHOTONS – Massless packets of electromagnetic
radiation that travel at the speed of light.
Long wave energy (radio waves) are low energy
Short wave energy (x-rays) are high energy
• Of all insolation reaching the earth’s surface:
10% is ultraviolet
45% is visible light
45% is infrared
Most energy is absorbed by the land &/or water,
or reflected back into space.
Only 1-2% of the sunlight falling on plants is
captured for photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis
• Occurs in chloroplasts within plant cells
• 6H20 + 6CO2 + solar = C6H12O6 + 6O2
energy
• Water and carbon dioxide in the presence of
sunlight and chlorophyll (the green pigment
in chloroplasts) yield glucose and oxygen.
• Glucose serves as primary fuel for all
metabolic processes. Energy in its chemical
bonds can be used to make other
biomolecules (lipids,proteins) or it can drive
movement, transport, etc.

CHEMOSYNTHESIS
• Ancient organisms called ARCHAEA get
their energy from inorganic compounds such
as H2 and S found in vents in the sea floor or
from hot springs.
• ARCHAEA represent one-third of all the
biomass on the planet.
• Those living in ocean sediments create
enormous quantities of methane.
Fortunately, bacteria which consume
methane also exist.

42
Cellular Respiration
• Photosynthesis captures energy, while cellular respiration releases energy. They are opposite processes!!
• C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6H2O + 6CO2 + energy
(AEROBIC respiration provides more energy than ANAEROBIC respiration)
This is how animals get all their energy. The reason that you need to breathe is to supply this pathway with oxygen.

From Species to Ecosystems
• Species - all organisms of the same kind that
are genetically similar enough to breed in
nature and produce live, fertile offspring
• Population - all members of a species living
in a given area at the same time
• Biological Community - all of the
populations of organisms living & interacting
in a particular area a.k.a. BIOTIC FACTORS
• BIOMASS - the total mass of all living matter
in a specific area

From Species to Ecosystems
• Ecosystem – a biological community and its
physical environment
The physical environment includes ABIOTIC
(non-living) FACTORS such as climate, water,
minerals, soil, energy, etc.
It is difficult to define the boundaries of an
ecosystem. Most ecosystems are open in that
they exchange materials and organisms with
other ecosystems.
• BIOSPHERE – all ecosystems on earth. From
deepest ocean trench to highest mountain peaks.
(20 km thick layer around earth)

ECOSYSTEM PRODUCTIVITY
• PRODUCTIVITY - the amount of biomass produced in a given area in a given period of time.
• PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY – synthesis of organic matter (biomass) by plants using solar energy during photosynthesis.
• SECONDARY PRODUCTIVITY - manufacture of biomass by organisms that eat plants.
![Page 47: Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life - Sewanhaka High School · Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life. 2 Outline • ... From Species to Ecosystems • Species - all organisms of the same kind](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040712/5e177d1bfcc860633946a0e2/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
ECOSYSTEM PRODUCTIVITY
• GROSS PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY (GPP) measure of the total amount of solar energy captured by producers during photosynthesis.
• NET PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY (NPP) - measure of the total energy captured minus the energy respired by producers.

GPP VS NPP
NPP = GPP – Respiration
MEASURING GPP
Total CO2 taken up during photosynthesis =
CO2 taken up in light + CO2 produced in dark
This figure is expressed as
Kg C / m2 / day (year)
![Page 49: Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life - Sewanhaka High School · Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life. 2 Outline • ... From Species to Ecosystems • Species - all organisms of the same kind](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040712/5e177d1bfcc860633946a0e2/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

CALCULATING NPP
A forest in N. America has a GPP of
2.5 kg C / m2 / year
This same forest loses 1.5 kg C / m2 / year
due to respiration.
Calculate the NPP in terms of % of GPP

Ecological Pyramids
• Due to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, energy is lost at each level of the pyramid.
Energy is lost as heat during metabolism.
Some energy is lost due to inefficient predation.
10% Rule (Energy / Biomass)

INVERTED FOOD PYRAMIDS
INVERTED FOOD PYRAMIDS NEVER
REPRESENT ENERGY!!!
Inverted pyramids exist under a few conditions:
In this example, a single tree
can support hundreds or
thousands of insects which in
turn can support a few
carnivorous birds such as
woodpeckers.
Draw a fourth level
representing a hawk which
may prey on the woodpecker.

66
INVERTED FOOD PYRAMIDS Inverted pyramids exist under a few conditions:
Aquatic ecosystems are often inverted at the primary
consumer level. Phytoplankton reproduce quickly and have
short lives so there are never as many as the next level.
In contrast, grasses have longer lives and are rarely
consumed in their entirety. Thus, are a broader base for
terrestrial food pyramids.

69
HYDROLOGIC CYCLE
• Path of water through the environment
1. Solar energy evaporates water from surface supplies and land.
2. Water is released by plants via TRANSPIRATION
3. Winds distributes water vapor around the globe.
4. Water vapor condenses over land surfaces, producing precipitation.
5. Water runs off, percolates into sediment or is taken up by plants

71
Carbon Cycle
• Begins with intake of CO2 during photosynthesis. Carbon atoms are incorporated into sugar which is eventually released by cellular respiration either in the plant or in organisms that consumed it.
• Sometimes the carbon is not recycled for a long time. Coal and oil are the remains of organisms that lived millions of years ago. The carbon in these is released when we burn them. Some carbon is also locked in calcium carbonate (shells, limestone).
![Page 72: Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life - Sewanhaka High School · Chapter 3 Matter, Energy & Life. 2 Outline • ... From Species to Ecosystems • Species - all organisms of the same kind](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040712/5e177d1bfcc860633946a0e2/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
72
Carbon Cycle
• The parts of the cycle that remove and store carbon
dioxide from the atmosphere (vegetation) are called
carbon sinks.
• The parts of the cycle that release carbon dioxide
are called carbon sources.
• Burning of fuels generates huge quantities of
carbon dioxide that cannot be taken up fast enough
by the carbon sinks. This excess carbon dioxide
contributes to global warming.

74
Nitrogen Cycle
• Nitrogen is needed to make proteins and nucleic acids such as DNA.
• Plants take up inorganic nitrogen from the environment and build protein molecules which are later eaten by consumers.
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria change nitrogen to a more useful form by combining it with hydrogen to make ammonia. Other bacteria convert ammonia to nitrites and then nitrates, which can be taken up by plants to make proteins.
- Members of the bean family (legumes) have nitrogen-fixing bacteria living in their root tissue.

75
Nitrogen Cycle
Nitrogen re-enters the environment:
- By death of organisms
- Animal excrement and urinary wastes
Nitrogen re-enters atmosphere when denitrifying bacteria break down nitrates into N2 and nitrous oxide (N2O) gases.
- Humans have profoundly altered the nitrogen cycle via use of synthetic fertilizers, nitrogen-fixing crops, and fossil fuels.

77
Phosphorus Cycle
• Phosphorus is needed to make DNA, & ATP (the
energy currency of the cell) and other important
biomolecules.
• Phosphorus compounds are leached from rocks
and minerals and usually transported in aqueous
form.
Taken in and incorporated by producers
- Passed on to consumers
Returned to environment by decomposition
• Cycle takes a long time as deep ocean sediments
are significant sinks

79
Sulfur Cycle
• Most sulfur is tied up in underground rocks and
minerals. Inorganic sulfur is released into air by
weathering and volcanic eruptions.
Cycle is complicated by large number of
oxidation states the element can assume.
Human activities release large amounts of sulfur,
primarily by burning fossil fuels.
