Chemicals make up ALL matter – living and nonliving.• All life processes are chemical reactions.• Chemical signals between cells regulate
metabolism– enzymes, hormones
• Chemical signals in the environment– Attract a mate; attract pollinators– Scare away predators– Find food
Why is chemistry important in the study of biology?

ELEMENTS, ATOMS, AND MOLECULES
There are 92 naturally occurring elements–Only 4 make up most of the human body–CARBON–HYDROGEN (C H O N)- OXYGEN- NITROGEN

Ions = charged particles
![Page 8: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
LE 2-7b
Na+
Cl-
NaCl is ionic - “crystal lattice” structure
![Page 9: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ionic Compound – “crystal lattice”
Attraction of opposite charges- ordered, fixed structure
![Page 10: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ionic Compouonds transfer electrons
Both atoms now have filled valence, but no longer
electrically neutral
![Page 11: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Ionic – attraction of opposite charges• Ionic bonds dissociate in water
![Page 12: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Covalent Bonding• Atoms SHARE valence electrons
– One bond = one shared pair (one from each atom)
![Page 13: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Covalent bonds form “molecules
![Page 14: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Double bond = two shared pairs (two from each atom)
![Page 15: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Intramolecular v Intermolecular forces

CHEMICAL REACTIONS
Reactants Products•Chemical bonds break in reactants•atoms rearrange •New chemical bonds form•The number of atoms stays constant on
both sides of the equation Na+ + Cl- NaCl
2 H2 + O2 2 H2O

What is an isotope?Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number but different masses
• different number of neutrons
• Behave the same way chemically!!
• Most elements have at least one isotope
![Page 18: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Isotopes of Carbon
Isotopes of the same element have the same number of PROTONS and the same number of ELECTRONS.
- have the same chemical behaviors
![Page 19: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Radioactive Isotopes
Have unstable nuclei
• Emit atomic particles as the “decay”
• Become a stable atom of a different element
![Page 20: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Radioactive isotopes
• Also emit radiation• at a steady rate, called “half-life”
– Half-life: time for ½ of a sample to decay– Ex. Half-life of C-14 is 5700 years
• Can use radiation for many purposes
![Page 21: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
DATE FOSSILS
Carbon-14 and other isotopes • measure amount of C-14 present in a
fossil• compare to amount of present when it
died• tells us how old the fossil is
![Page 22: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Carbon Dating FossilsC14 in
atmosphereC14 in carbon
dioxide
CO2 used by plants in
photosynthesis
Some C14 absorbed in
ocean
Some in animals after eating plants
When animals die, no more C14
taken in
![Page 23: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Use as “tags” or “tracers”
• Same chemical properties as stable isotopes• Used the same in life processes• Can show how atoms and molecules are used in
living things– Carbon-14
• showed how plants make food from CO2
– Radioactive sulfur and phosphorus• showed how viruses enter cells
![Page 24: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
PET Scan - MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS
PET scan = Positron Emission Tomography• Radioisotope into blood collects in tissues• Amount of radiation shows organ function
- more active cells use more food and energy (ex. cancer cells)
- more active cells emit more radiation- ”hot spot”
![Page 25: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Brain scan using radioisotope
![Page 26: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
A body scan showing areas of increased radiation (increased cell activity)
Increased radiation shows abnormal function
![Page 27: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Thyroid scans – tumors?
A thyroid scan showing a “hot spot”
Scan showing increased uptake in thyroid gland

PET scans show functionCAT scans show structure
![Page 29: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Radiation Therapy – treats cancer External therapy• beam of radiation aimed at tumor• from radioisotope, or from therapy X-ray
machine
![Page 30: CP Biology Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812cdc550346895d91a100/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Internal Therapy - Radioisotopes kill cancer cells
Tiny “seeds” put into tumor Injected into blood –
goes to specific organ
