Chapter 2 Notes

Fundamental building blocks of all matter are known as atoms. 

Elements is a substance consisting of only one type of atom, all elements have a symbol, the symbol is derived from its English or Latin name.

Three sub-atomic particles are:  Proton- have a positive charge, found in the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons make up most of the mass of the atom.

Neutron- no charge, found in the nucleus of an atom.  Along with proton makes up most of the mass of the atom.

Electron- has a negative charge, are found outside of the nucleus in the orbits or shells surrounding the nucleus

The number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons.

Each shell is designated either by letter or a number

From the nucleus outward can hold:  K Shell= 2,   L Shell= 8,    M Shell= 18 - 8

Atomic Number= Number of protons or electrons

Atomic Mass= Number of protons and neutrons

Isotopes- an element whose atoms contain a different number of neutrons from most atoms of that element

IE:  Atoms of a hydrogen isotope called deuterium, contain one neutron in their nucleui whereas most hydrogen atoms contain no neutrons

Elements whose outer shell have 8 electrons are usually stable

Ex. Noble gases are very stable and will not react with other elements

An element with a number of electrons in the outer energy level other than 8 are chemically reactive

For example sodium has 1 electron in its third (m) level and 8 in its second (L) level, chlorine has 7 in its M shell, the two combine

 

 

 

 

Valence refers to the number of electron that can easily lost of gained to give a stable configuration.

      IE: Sodium find it easier to lose one electron , than to gain 7, its valence is plus 1 chlorine is the opposite so it is minus 1

Molecular formula using chemical symbols H2O

Structural formula

 

 

 

Organic (they are living) compounds contain:

    Carbon with the exceptions 

    a) cyanides C=N

    b) Carbonates CO3

    c) Bicarbonates HCO3

Inorganic- All the rest, primarily mineral origin

Hydrocarbons- Consist of C-H

The four simplest hydrocarbons are:

    1. Methane (natural gas)

 

 

    2. Ethane

 

 

    3. Propane

 

 

    4. Butane

 

 

Unsaturated compounds have one or more double or triple bounds, if several unsaturated carbons are found it is said to be polyunsaturated

Saturated-(arteriosclerosis)  increase blood fat levels  vs.   Unsaturated- Lower blood fat levels

Balance equations 

Carbons 2 hydrogens as 0

Cell Reproduction

Cells will wear out and die, are injured , and must be replaced.

    1. Mitosis- body uses this to replace dead, damaged or lost cells.  The nucleus will undergo a complicated series of changes to insure that the daughter cell will receive exactly the same complement of DNA as the diploid parent.

    2. The cytoplasm and organelles undergo and appox. equal division between the daughter cells.

    3. Mitosis is described as going through stages- each stage is chartered by particular events.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    1. Interphase- cell appears typical but are going through changes 

            a. accumulating substance for their own use

            b. synthesizing materials

            c. Replication of DNA

    2. Prophase- Chromotin materials shortening (containing DNA and Protein)

          --these parts are connected together by a portion of the chromosome called the centromere.

          --The centrioles move to opposite sides of the cytoplasm.  Spindle fibers appear

    3.  Metaphase- Chromosomes line up in an orderly fashion across the equatorial plate.

         -- Soon the centromeres divide and the identical chromosomes parts, which are fastened together become separated individual chromosomes.

    4.  Anaphase-  The separated chromosomes now move in opposite directions, the microtubules shorten and pull their attached chromosomes toward the centrioles at the opposite ends of the cell.

    5.  Telophase-  Final Stage, chromosomes complete their migration nuclei reform within contained membrane.

            -- Microtubules disappear and the centrioles become duplicated.

    6.  Cytoplasmic Division- Not well understood a pinching motion occurs where each new cell is given to each new cell. 

    7.  Meiosis-  Occurs only in primitive sex cells during their process of becoming mature sex cells.

           --Primitive- Spermatogonia in male (gametes--mature) Sperm

           --Oogonia in female (gametes--mature) Ova

Eukaryotes-Have Nucleus (animals and plants)

In human Cells-46 chromosomes

        This total of 46 chromosomes per cell is known as the diploid number of chromosomes

Diploid comes from the Greek Diploos meaning two or pair

During meiosis or "reduction division" the diploid chromosome numbers of the primitive spermatogoria or oogonium is reduced to its haploid number of 23 found in mature sex cells or gametes.

Mitosis

    -Process by which somatic cells reproduce

Phases- Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase

Function

    -Transmits the same diploid number of chromosomes composed of the same genes as present in the parent cell and thereby makes possible inheritance of parent cell traits.

Function

    -Formation

In RNA, unracil substitutes (thymine and the sugar ribose is present) 

    A-T        C-G

This is called Base-paring, these are "sequences" of nucleotides are created

A particular sequence may be called a gene *Genes- a unit controlling the expression of body characteristics

    1. Hormones influence membranes

    2. Hormones directly influence enzyme activity

    3. Hormones influence gene activity

    4. Hormones control the production and-or release ions or small molecules which, in turn, may exert or influence cell activity
