Water makes up approx 70 to 95 percent of most organisms.
When the electrons in a covalent bond are not shared equally they form a polar molecule.
Polar Molecule: unequal distribution of charge, the molecule has a
distinct partial positive end and a partial negative end. Universal Solvent: “like dissolves like”

Properties• High Specific Heat – resists changes in temp.Water retains its state at temperature levels where other liquids would begin to turn into gas or evaporate.
• Cohesion – attraction of water molecules, provides surface tension.
• Adhesion – attraction of water to different substances….meniscus

Role of CarbonCarbon has 4 electrons to share and it can
share these electrons in three different ways.
4 Covalent bonds it can form
1. Single C - C
2. Double C = C
3. Triple C C

2) Hydrolysis - Add H20 to break covalent bonds

LIPIDS - C, H, O
Fats, oils, waxes, cholesterol (steroids), phospholipids (C57H110O6)
Nonpolar - insoluble in water, make up cell membrane, energy, used to make hormones, and Elle’s love for *all* her students.
Fat = 3 Fatty acids + glycerol (monomers)
Fatty acid : 1. Chain of C and H atoms 2. Carboxyl group -COOH
Glycerol : 3 Carbon molecule, backbone of a lipid.

Proteins differ in the number and order of amino acids.– Amino acids interact to give a protein its shape.
– Incorrect amino acids change a protein’s structure and function.

ENZYMESProtein catalysts necessary for most of
the chemical rxns that occur in living cells.
Catalysts : a substance that increase the rate of a chemical rxn.
![Page 40: The Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56815f88550346895dce8e19/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
HOW DO YOU RECOGNIZE AN ENZYME?
*Enzymes are usually named after the substrate with an -ase ending.
Substrate : the substance an enzyme acts upon
EXAMPLES : Enzyme that splits maltose into 2 glucose
molecules is maltase Proteins - Protease Lipids - Lipase
![Page 41: The Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56815f88550346895dce8e19/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
HOW DO ENZYMES WORK?1. The enzyme shape makes it able to do work. Active Site
2. The active site is the place on the enzyme where the rxn occurs.
3. The substance the enzyme act upon is the substrate
* The active site must fit the shape of the substrate
maltose

HOW DO ENZYMES WORK?4. The substrate and the active site of the enzyme come together briefly to form the enzyme - substrate complex.
*While temporarily together the enzyme may make or break bonds within the substrate.

Enzyme* Note enzymes arenot changed by the rxn

QUESTION?
* What enzyme broke the bond between the disaccharide maltose in the previous slide?
![Page 44: The Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56815f88550346895dce8e19/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
HYPOTHESIS FOR HOW AN ENZYME WORKS (2)
1. Lock & Key Hypothesis : Proposes that the substrate fits exactly into
the active site on the enzyme. * Key - Active Site unlocks the lock - substrate
2. Induced Fit Hypothesis : Proposes that the enzyme changes shape
slightly to grasp the substrate at the active site.
* Hand grasping a baseball (molds to shape of object)

DiffusionDiffusion : the net movement of
particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Key factors in the rate of diffusion: concentration, temperature, and pressure.
![Page 48: The Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56815f88550346895dce8e19/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
What is Equilibrium?Equilibrium : when concentrations
are equal and the net movement of particles is equal.
