The Scientific Method
The Scientific Method has several steps:
•A natural phenomenon is observed
•A hypothesis (proposed explanation) is made
•An experiment is performed
•Results are obtained
•The hypothesis is supported or disproved
•Any scientific explanation is called a theory
![Page 3: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Scientific Method
How science works:
•We learn not by proving something but by disproving something else.
•Inquiry is used to make observations, formulate hypotheses and test them.
•Science works by asking questions and answering them.

The Metric System
The Metric System is used for measurement.
•Length is measured in units of the meter.
•Volume is measured in units of the liter.
•Mass is measured in units of kilograms.
•Time is measured in units of seconds.

Scientific Notation
Numbers are represented as a number between 1 and 10 x 10 raised to an appropriate power. Examples:
2800 = 2.8 x 103
.00055 = 5.5 x 10-4

Molecules
• Molecules are electrically neutral aggregates of atoms bonded together.
• "Electrically neutral" means that the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
![Page 19: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Compounds and Molecules
•A compound is a substance with a definite composition that can be decomposed into two or more substances (examples are salt (NaCl) and water H2O)).
•A molecule is the smallest unit of a substance that has the chemical properties of the substance.
![Page 20: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Bonding
•An ionic bond is formed by complete transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another. Example: NaCl
•A covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between atoms. Example: H2O
![Page 21: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

•The pH scale shows the strength of an acid or a base. It ranges from 0 to 14.
•A pH of 7 is neutral.
•A pH less than 7 is acidic.
•A pH greater than 7 is alkaline (basic).

ORGANIC CHEMISTRYOrganic chemicals contain carbon.The more important ones are:• carbohydrates• lipids• proteins• nucleic acids
![Page 28: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
CARBOHYDRATES
Carbohydrates contain carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2:1 in carbohydrates. This means that there is twice as much hydrogen as there is oxygen.
![Page 29: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Simple Sugars (Monosaccharides)Simple sugars contain from three to seven carbon atoms. Some of the larger ones can form rings.
![Page 30: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

![Page 31: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Condensation Reactions
• A condensation reaction occurs between two molecules when an enzyme removes water from them and joins them together with a single bond. This process is known as dehydration synthesis.
• The water is always removed in the form of H from one molecule and OH from the other.
![Page 32: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Disaccharides
Disaccharides consist of two monosaccharides connected by a condensation reaction. An example is maltose which is formed by reaction between two glucose molecules.
![Page 33: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

LIPIDS
• triglycerides
• waxes
• phospholipids
• steroids
• Lipids contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. There is much less oxygen in a lipid than there is in a carbohydrate.
• The types of lipids are:
![Page 38: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Fats and Oils
Fats and oils are examples of triglycerides. Fat is solid at room temperature, oil is liquid.
The building blocks of triglycerides are fatty acids and glycerol.
Molecules of triglycerides contain one glycerol and three fatty acids.
![Page 39: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Waxes
Waxes are formed by condensation reactions between long-chain fatty acids and long-chain alcohols. They are found in various places, such as the surfaces of leaves.
![Page 44: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Phospholipids
Phospholipids contain glycerol, two fatty acids, phosphorus and sometimes nitrogen. They have polar heads and non-polar tails.
The polar end is hydrophilic.
The non-polar end is hydrophobic.
These molecules are the major component of all biological membranes

SteroidsSteroid molecules have a complicated structure of interlocking carbon rings. This is an important type of lipid. It includes the sex hormones, cortisone, cholesterol, and related molecules.
![Page 47: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
PROTEINSProteins are long-chain polymers of amino acids which are linked together by condensation reactions (dehydration synthesis). They are the fundamental structural molecules in biology.
The structural properties of proteins are due to the presence of nitrogen.
![Page 48: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Amino AcidsThere are 20 different types of amino acids. They can combine in a variety of ways. Amino acids are required for synthesis of proteins.
![Page 49: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Formation of ProteinsProteins are formed by condensation reactions (dehydration synthesis).
When two amino acids are joined together, the result is a dipeptide (two amino acids) joined by a peptide bond, and the water molecule which was removed.

The Protein Pyramid
![Page 52: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Functions of ProteinsStructural proteins. Structural proteins hold biological structures together or form body structures. An example is keratin. Keratin is found in hair, skin, nails, and the corresponding parts of other animals such as fur, hooves, claws, as well as fish and reptile scales.
![Page 53: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Functions of ProteinsEnzymes. An enzyme is a catalyst that allows the occurrence of a chemical reaction at body temperature. All enzymes are proteins. Condensation reactions are examples of biological reactions that are catalyzed by enzymes. There is also an enzyme called catalase. Catalase is another example of an enzyme.
![Page 54: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
NUCLEIC ACIDSThere are two types of nucleic acids. These are known as:• Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)• Ribonucleic acid (RNA)
![Page 55: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Nucleotides Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids. They have three components: a base, a sugar and a phosphate. The bases are rings of carbon and nitrogen atoms and are sometimes called nitrogenous bases. Phosphate is derived from phosphoric acid. The sugar found in DNA is called deoxyribose while the sugar found in RNA is called ribose.
![Page 56: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Formation of Nucleic AcidsThe phosphate from one nucleotide becomes joined to the sugar of another nucleotide by a condensation reaction. This process builds very long chains of nucleotides.
![Page 57: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

Functions of the Nucleic AcidsDeoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA is found in the chromosomes of the nucleus of the cell. It directs all aspects of cell function. It is organized into genes which determine the properties of the organism.
![Page 59: Principles of Biology By Frank H. Osborne, Ph. D. Chemistry of Life.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d585503460f94a370ee/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Functions of the Nucleic AcidsRibonucleic acid (RNA). There are three types of RNA. Each is associated in some way with protein synthesis. The structure of proteins (the sequence of the amino acids in the protein) is ultimately determined by the DNA of the cell.
